The Work of the Mission
That God would, through Nehemiah, record their names for us to read some 2,500 years later is amazing. How many of you believe that when you stick around and stack chairs, God is going remember your work for the next two and a half millennium? He takes average Joes and Janes and lifts up their work and says, “I know the work you’ve done and I will remember it for eternity.” So many of us think that our contribution is simply too small to matter. But this is the opposite of what God is showing us by preserving this list. He’s saying, “It may not matter to anyone else, but it matters to Me!” You might be quietly working behind the scenes without any recognition, but the only eyes of the universe that matter are upon you and He won’t forget.

Paradise Lost: The Drift of People and Nations
The Bible is not simply a book, it is a library - a sacred library, with a stunning God-designed unity. While its 66 books were written over 60 generations by 40 authors on 3 continents from all walks of life, it presents a unified picture of God’s plan and purpose for our world. Its story-line extends from creation to the recreation of a new heaven and earth.  It’s a story that impresses us with its diversity, but also with its unity. As we read through the Bible in 90 Days we have that rare privilege of overview. But we also have questions. How were people saved under the old covenant? What is a covenant? How are we to understand the law? What is the deal with sacrifice? Is God in control? How does he reveal himself?  For some of us this reading is pulling things together, for others it is challenging our view of God. Today in the Word we begin a series of messages focused on some of those big themes of the Bible that tie it all together and take us to Revelation 22. We begin with the beginning - paradise and paradise lost.
