Jordan Rimmer Sermons

Understanding Worship Space

In this sermon I take a look at how Jewish and Christian worship spaces developed. I then walked around my sancutary and pointed the symbols and lessons of the space. I am not sure that this sermon will translate as well online, but I hope it will be helpful.

 

Nehemiah's Walls: The Fear of God

In this final sermon from the book of Nehemiah I take a look at what motivates Nehemiah and sets his expectations of Israel's behavior--the fear of God. I wrestle with what that means, and how we should think about the fear of the Lord today.

Nehemiah's Walls: Dealing with Resistance

This sermon looks briefly at Chapter 3 and then walks through Chapter 4 looking at how Nehemiah deals with his enemies and also the fear in Jerusalem. He both prays and plans. Most improtantly, Nehemiah understands that he is not just building a wall. He is building the people.
