Build My Church Week 1: Pick Up Your Hammer

This sermon shows you how to find your purpose in God’s church and stop living as a spectator in your faith. Using the story of Nehemiah, you’ll discover that God has given every believer a part to build and something in their hands He can use. You don’t have to preach, lead thousands, or have everything figured out to make an eternal difference. You simply have to stop asking, “What can the church do for me?” and start asking, “What can God do through me?”

In this sermon, Pastor Travis Hearn of Impact Church teaches how Nehemiah’s rebuilding of Jerusalem reveals what can happen when ordinary people take ownership, use what God has given them, and build together.

In this sermon, you’ll learn:

• How to find your purpose and your place in God’s church
• Why God can use what you already have in your hands
• How to stop being a spectator and start making a difference
• Why you don’t have to do everything—you just have to build your part
• What Nehemiah teaches about serving, sacrifice, and working together
• How your time, gifts, influence, generosity, and testimony can impact eternity

You were never meant to spend your life sitting on the sidelines. There’s a wall with your name on it. There’s a hammer in your hand. Pick it up and build something that will outlive you.
