Joy in The Valley

In his sermon "Joy in the Valley," Pastor Jeremy D. Battle uses Nehemiah's story to show how to find and protect joy during life's challenges. Nehemiah begins by seeking God in prayer, addressing disruptions to joy, and courageously presenting his needs to leaders. With God’s favor, resources, and protection, he embraces the responsibility of rebuilding while remaining agile and empowering others to contribute. Pastor Battle emphasizes the importance of declaring God’s Word, repairing brokenness, guarding against opposition, promoting shared values, and taking intentional joy breaks. He reminds us that “The joy of the Lord is your strength” and a source of renewal in every valley.
