Distraction is one of the enemy’s sharpest tools. Nehemiah refused to come down from the wall, and so must we. This week’s message—Boundaries That Guard the Work—will challenge you to protect what God is rebuilding in your life by saying “no” to distractions, standing firm in discernment, and walking with courage in the face of intimidation.

Opposition is inevitable when you step into obedience. Nehemiah shows us that the enemy mocks what God is rebuilding, hoping to wear us down with lies and intimidation. But instead of arguing, he responded with prayer and progress, refusing to come down from the wall. His people worked with a trowel in one hand and a sword in the other—building and battling at the same time. In the same way, recovery and discipleship require both defense and offense: guarding our hearts with God’s Word and building new habits that honor Him. The message is simple—stay on the wall, keep praying, keep building, and don’t let opposition pull you away from what God has called you to restore.

Burdens can either break you or build you—it all depends on where you take them. Nehemiah’s burden became a vision when he brought it before God and stepped out in boldness. Don’t let your pain turn to bitterness—let it fuel a rebuild.

Before Nehemiah rebuilt a single wall, he had to face the truth about what was broken. Jerusalem’s walls were in ruins, the gates burned, and the people living in shame. Restoration didn’t start with a construction plan—it started with honesty before God. The same is true for us. You can’t fix what you refuse to face, and you can’t heal from what you hide. This week at Cedar Point Recovery, we’re talking about how to face the truth about what’s broken, let God break our hearts for what breaks His, and start the rebuild in prayer. It’s time to stop stepping over the rubble and start letting God restore what’s been broken.

Confession isn’t a sign of weakness—it’s where healing truly begins. We don’t get free by pretending we’re okay; we get free when we’re honest. You weren’t meant to carry your struggles alone. Healing flows through vulnerability, honesty, and community. Don’t let shame keep you silent—take the risk to confess and step into the restoration God is offering.

Join us as Amanda Johnson shares her incredible story of God's love and transformation.

Pride keeps you stuck. Humility sets you free.

So many of us feel spiritually distant not because God has moved, but because we’ve refused to. Pride builds walls, but humility builds bridges. The way forward in your healing isn’t pretending to be okay—it’s getting honest about where you’re not. Repentance doesn’t just bring forgiveness; it brings connection. The moment you drop the act and fall to your knees is the moment heaven leans in close. Freedom begins where pride ends.

In James 3, we’re confronted with the truth that our words aren’t neutral—they’re powerful. This passage walks through how the tongue, though small, can set the direction of our lives or burn everything down around us. It reminds us that no one can tame their speech without the help of the Holy Spirit. And it closes by showing us that wise, Spirit-led words always bring peace, not chaos. In recovery and in life, the way we speak can either push people further into shame or call them out into freedom. If God has your heart, then your words should reflect His character. Tonight, we’re getting real about the fire that lives between our teeth—and what it looks like when that fire is finally surrendered to God.

Words don’t disappear when they’re spoken. They either plant something life-giving or light something on fire. The tongue may be small, but it can destroy relationships, wreck reputations, and derail recovery. But in God’s hands, your words can also bring healing, hope, and life. What you say reveals who’s in control—your flesh or the Spirit. If your faith is real, your mouth should reflect it.
