In this episode of Extra Mayo, Pastor Josh unpacks the moment the wall is finished in Nehemiah. But completion wasn’t the end; it was the beginning of transformation. God wasn’t only rebuilding a city. He was rebuilding His people.
This conversation explores four key truths from the message:
-What God starts, He finishes.
-We thought God was building a wall, but He was really building us.
-When you know God’s faithfulness, you worship differently.
-God calls us to remember and move forward.
The wall was the external project — but the people were the masterpiece.
Main Topics Covered
1. What God Starts, He Finishes
2. God Wasn’t Just Building a Wall — He Was Building Us
3. When You Know God’s Faithfulness, You Worship Different
4. God Calls Us to Remember and Move Forward
Practical Life Applications
-God’s work in you is often deeper than the work He’s doing through you.
-Completion is never the end of the story — it’s the beginning of formation.
-Worship grows when you recognize God’s faithfulness.
-Remembrance is fuel for future obedience.
-You are God’s masterpiece in progress.
Final Word
The Building Beyond journey shows that while the wall mattered, the people mattered more. God uses every burden, battle, and brick to shape us into who He designed us to be. The wall may stand, but His work in you continues.
The joy of the Lord is your strength — because He is still building beyond.
