In this inspiring sermon, Pastor Gary Boyd addresses the congregation at Collinsville Baptist Tabernacle, highlighting the pervasive issue of making excuses to avoid doing God's work. Drawing parallels to the time of Nehemiah, Pastor Boyd explores how the Jews, despite numerous valid excuses, took on the monumental task of rebuilding Jerusalem's wall. From priests to merchants, people from all walks of life set aside their justifications and dedicated themselves to the mission, underscoring the idea that true faith necessitates action.
Pastor Boyd challenges the modern congregation to reflect on their own excuses that hinder their involvement in God's mission today. He emphasizes that, like the Jews in Nehemiah's time, they must move beyond their reasons for inaction and fully commit to the work of evangelism and discipleship. Pastor Boyd's message is a call to unity and diligence, reminding everyone that greater success in their mission comes from collective, wholehearted participation.
