Title: Rebuilding the Great CitySpeaker: Brian PenningtonDate: 25th June 2025Location: Adelaide, Australia This episode explores the message of Nehemiah, drawing out practical parallels between rebuilding Jerusalem’s walls and strengthening the church. It highlights how God uses ordinary people—families, tradesmen, and those with no experience—to build something lasting when their hearts are united in purpose. The episode emphasises that every contribution matters, whether seen or unseen, because the work belongs to the Lord. The talk also reflects on the foundations that keep the church strong: sound doctrine, spiritual diligence, personal growth, and a willingness to clear out what hinders progress. Using examples from Nehemiah, the Reformation, and the early church, the message encourages a renewed commitment to build, guard, and maintain what God has entrusted to His people. Key Takeaways Strengthening the church begins with unity, commitment, and a shared willingness to build. Foundational doctrines must be guarded, just as the gates of Jerusalem were protected. Personal growth requires clearing away spiritual “rubbish” and staying ready to build and defend.
