About this episode
Matt Vanderleek discusses the importance of active faith as illustrated in Nehemiah 4.
Tune in this morning as Matt Vanderleek from City Chapel in Red Deer preaches from Nehemiah 4: “Faith that stands firm is faith that stays busy—watching, praying, and working because God fights for His people… Watch and work - faith is never idle. Faith is not a posture of passivity, it is one of perseverance…. Arm and aim - faith prepares us for a fight. We have an enemy who is actively at work against us….T rust and triumph - faith works because GOD triumphs”
