I. Introduction

We learned from Nehemiah Chapter 2 that, preparation, praying and planning are essentials for the work of faith or service to God
There would always be opposition to God’s work
Godly leadership and loving relationship is paramount in the Lord’s service 

II. Leadership of the Body of Christ vs 1-2, 9, 12, 14-19, 28

Exemplary and Servanthood
Delegation and Empowerment
The Spirit of God gifts and empowers the Body of Christ in the service of God 

III. Service of the Body of Christ vs 1, 12, 20-27

For the Lord
For and with one another
All the members of the Body are involved 

IV. Disruption in the Body of Christ vs 5

They will be some who will not “shoulder” the Lord’s work
The tragedy of the church is the missing gifts i.e., the missing servants of God

V. Conclusion 

Godly leadership is essential to the well-being of the Body of Christ 
Love and loving relationship are the glue to hold the Body of Christ together 
The goal: “Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her, that he might sanctify her, having cleansed her by the washing of water with the  word, so that he might present the church to himself in splendour, without spot or wrinkle or any such thing, that she might be holy and without blemish” (Eph. 5:25-27)
