Downtown Community ChurchUI: Under PressureEveryone who wants to live a Godly life will experience pressure. In fact, every personal failure of ours comes about by succumbing to the pressures of life. We all come to situations that seem like they are lose-lose. Nehemiah 6 gives us an extraordinary example of how to stand under pressure. Nehemiah connects who he is to what he does. His answer to temptation is “Should a man like me do this?” This is the correct response to pressure. Pressure tests our identity, not our ability. When we give into pressure, we identify as people who crumble under pressure. When you...

Downtown Community ChurchA Church of Groups, Not a Church With GroupsThe entire purpose of this sermon is to show you the importance of getting connected into groups. The importance of community is a principle that applies to you whether you believe it or not. In Ecclesiastes 4, King Solomon teaches why it is important to be surrounded in community. Two people can work better than one can by themselves. When one person falls, it is good to have another to help them up. In a world that is exceedingly filled with projecting an idealized version of ourselves, it is exceedingly important to be deeply known by others. If our struggles...

Downtown Community ChurchUI: DistractedIf you’ve ever tried to accomplish anything of significance, you are aware of our tendency to be distracted from important work. For almost everything in life, it’s easy to get distracted. If we could ever truly accomplish the most important things before anything else, it would change our lives. Nehemiah stands as an extraordinary example of refusing to be distracted, as he says, “I am doing a great work and I cannot come down,” (Neh. 6:3). We all have a great work to prioritize. The reality is that we are going to say no to something. So, why wouldn’t...

Downtown Community ChurchUI: Be Resilient - Sustainable ImmediacyWhen we hear a call to justice, we are often stirred up in emotion, as we all believe that service to the marginalized and vulnerable is important. Yet, we don’t often have a sustained sense of immediacy towards such passions; we have difficulty having obedience in the same direction over a long period of time. What we find when it comes to having the right actions towards justice is that what we do is the outcome of why we do it. For Nehemiah, his reason for working toward justice was simple: it was because of the fear of Go...

Downtown Community ChurchUncommon Influencers: Justice - Adrian CrawfordGod’s people are called to apply pressure to places that are devoid of His justice. We are commissioned to be God’s representatives for justice on Earth.We can often use politics and other guises to hide behind the call we have to administer justice. The injustice we see in the world should bother us. In Nehemiah chapter 5, Nehemiah fights injustice by applying pressure emotionally, mentally and physically. This response changes the injustice around him. We should allow ourselves to be burdened emotionally to the point that we treat our lives as “no longer our own”, the same way Jesu...

Downtown Community ChurchUI: Be Resilient - Product vs. ProcessMost of us see other people’s needs to gain more resiliency, but can be blind to our own. We have a tendency to quit on tasks in the “messy middle” once we’ve gotten tired from the work we’ve already done, but the end is not yet in sight. In Nehemiah 4, Nehemiah models obedience in the process of building the wall while trusting God with the finished product. When we focus on the product, we gain a false sense that we are the ones in control rather than God. We are able to fully engage in obedience while reme...

Downtown Community ChurchUI: Be Resilient - ReframeInfluence, by definition, creates resistance. We expect resistance in order to grow in the physical realm, but are often surprised or stifled when we face spiritual opposition. In order to be successful in the face of opposition, we must be resilient. According to a 2019 Barna Research study, only 10% of 20-29 year-old confessing Christians in the U.S. are resilient disciples of Christ. The reality is that most of the resistance we face as believers is not functional opposition, but an accusation against what we are doing. When we reframe opposition, it gives us an opportunity to build resiliency. The...

Downtown Community ChurchUncommon Influencers Week 4Nehemiah Chapter 3 is a chapter that is all too often glossed over. It is mostly a list of names, gates, and sections of the wall that were repaired. However, it’s hard to overstate the significance that the people of God actually began to do the work that God called them to. We have, for far too long, lacked meaningful engagement in the work of God. In this sermon, we unearthed the reason why we often don’t engage in the work that God has called us to. In Nehemiah 3:11, there is a man named Malchijah working on the wall who...

Downtown Community ChurchUncommon Influencers Week 3We often believe that influence is based on position or opinion. The person with the highest position of authority or with the most extreme opinion are often seen as the most influential. However, we gain true influence through our actions that add value to others. Nehemiah models how to influence others by acting in a way that adds value to others. Support the show

Downtown Community ChurchUncommon Influencers Week 2There’s a dichotomy that every influencer has to face, we must be patient and prayerful, but not passive. People who excel at patience also tend to be passive. Conversely, people who aren’t passive also tend to not be patient. In scripture God often gives a burden or calling in a way that requires patience before action. Yet, when the patient person is called to action or the action person is called to patience, they both feel the same thing…tension. We want to resolve the tension, but the tension is good. When we resolve the tension too quickly, we...

Downtown Community ChurchUncommon Influencers Week 1We are, as Christians, called to be influencers in our culture and our world. But how do we define influence? If society's influence is defined by the impressiveness of who is influencing, how does Jesus define it?With this series, Uncommon Influencers, we will break down the book of Nehemiah to learn what Scripture tells us influence looks like.Support the show
