A Sacred Assignment // A Story Worth Telling - Nehemiah 9 // Chris Wienand

Genesis Costa Mesa

This Week at Genesis | Nehemiah 9

This week, we walked through Nehemiah 9 — a moment where Israel remembers their whole story with God. The chapter reveals the pattern many of us know in our own lives: confession, freedom, wilderness, blessing, and rebellion. And yet, through every season, God’s mercy and faithfulness never waver.

Nehemiah reminds us:

• We find God in confession — where our hearts are revealed and met with grace.

• We find God in freedom — remembering the One who delivers and sustains.

• We find God in the wilderness — even when we forget, resist, or wander.

• We find God in blessing — receiving provision we did not earn.

• We find God in rebellion — because He is the God who does not abandon His people.

“But in Your great mercy You did not put an end to them or abandon them…” (Nehemiah 9:31)

This is our foundation: a God who is mighty, merciful, and committed to dwelling with His people.
