Get Back on Track!

Aug 10, 2025    Josh Hyde

In this powerful message, we dive deep into Nehemiah 13, exploring the theme of spiritual renewal and getting back on track with God. The passage reveals how easily God's people can drift away when strong spiritual leadership is absent, even after making commitments. We're challenged to examine our own lives and ask: If God showed up right now, what would He find? The sermon emphasizes four key areas for spiritual recommitment: restoring the house of the Lord (our bodies as temples), reprioritizing giving to God, resting and worshipping Him, and resisting the temptation to 'cheat' on God with worldly pursuits. This message reminds us that our identity should be in who we know (God), not what we do. It encourages us to set boundaries, make time for rest, and carefully choose our relationships to avoid unholy influences. Ultimately, we're reminded of God's unfailing love and forgiveness, even when we've strayed, leaving us with the powerful image of Jesus wanting to write 'forgiven' over our lives.
