"Breakthrough In Courage"
What does it truly mean to face our fears with unwavering faith? Pastor Pencil delves deep into this question through the compelling story of Nehemiah, revealing how true breakthrough courage emerges from God's presence and promises. Drawing from Nehemiah's nighttime inspection of Jerusalem's ruins, he illuminates how genuine courage isn't the absence of fear, but rather acting with bold faith despite it. Through vivid examples, including NFL Hall of Famer Mike Singletary's determination to "get up" after every hit, Pastor Pencil demonstrates how breakthroughs require us to move beyond comfort zones and choose divine obedience over self-reliance. The sermon powerfully connects to the church's current 21 days of prayer and fasting initiative, challenging the congregation to follow Nehemiah's example of grounding every action in prayer. With urgency and hope, Pastor Pencil calls his audience to stop merely surviving their circumstances and instead embrace God's empowerment for the impossible, reminding them that "God is bigger" than any obstacle they face. He concludes with a practical three-step breakthrough strategy, urging listeners to trust God more than their fears and seek His divine plan for 2026.
