Look Beyond The Noise - Sermon for September 6th, 2026

Nehemiah refuses to be pulled away from the important work God has called him to complete. In Nehemiah 6:1 to 9, his enemies attempt to distract and intimidate him, but he remains focused and declares, “I am carrying on a great project and cannot go down.” This Sunday, Rev. Dr. Paul Cunningham concludes our Nehemiah series with “Look Beyond the Noise.” Together, we will explore how to recognize the voices and distractions competing for our attention, remain grounded in God’s truth, and stay faithful to the purpose He has placed before us. Join us this Sunday!

Sermon Questions:

1. What is the “great work” God has given me to do right now?
2. Is there something demanding my attention that may not deserve it and what can I do this week to stay focused on God?
