2 1 WORKS WELL WITH OTHERS (Nehemiah 3) Something Worth Living For Part 3 Message #1368 Pastor Keith Stewart February 18-19, 2017 EXPANDED MESSAGE RESOURCES 5 WORLD RECORDS YOU COULD BREAK TOMORROW 1. Most T-shirts put on in one minute 2. Most Jell-O eaten with chopsticks in one minute 3. Most sticky notes on the face in one minute

3 2 4. Most tennis balls held in one hand 5. Most Saltine Crackers eaten in one minute Nehemiah is not mentioned at all in this chapter. 1. THE PRINCIPLE OF PRIORITIZATION Eliashib the high priest and his fellow priests went to work and rebuilt the Sheep gate. They dedicated it and set its doors in place Nehemiah 3.1 This body of data has created a new field of quantitative cultural studies called culturomics. Its primary method of study is to track changes in word use through time. The long reach of the data allows an unusual look at people and what s important to them. - Christian Rudder The Law of First things dictates that whatever is done with the first determines what happens with all the rest.

4 3 2. THE PRINCIPLE OF SIMPLIFICATION...posting them by families... Nehemiah 4.13 The strongest organizations are the simplest organizations. We have a simple structure so we can maximize ministry and minimize maintenance. 3. THE PRINCIPLE OF PARTICIPATION Nehemiah has been described as a book drenched in the sweat of hard work. The Bible doesn t celebrate the power of one. It celebrates oneness. The next section was repaired by the men of Tekoa, but their nobles would not put their shoulders to the work under their supervisors. Nehemiah 3.5 Next to them, the men of Tekoa repaired another section Nehemiah THE PRINCIPLE OF DELEGATION Everybody's responsibility is nobody's responsibility. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it, but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn t do it. It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody could have done. 5. THE PRINCIPLE OF MOTIVATION Adjoining this, Jedaiah son of Harumaph made repairs opposite his house Nehemiah Benjamin and Hasshub made repairs in front of their house... Nehemiah Zadok son of Immer made repairs opposite his house Nehemiah 3.29

5 4 6. THE PRINCIPLE OF COOPERATION Coming together is a beginning, keeping together is progress, thinking together is unity, and working together is success. - Henry Ford Two can accomplish more than twice as much as one. The results can be much better. If one falls the other pulls him up. If a man falls when he's alone, he's in trouble. Ecclesiastes The phrase "one another" is used 58 times in the Bible. 7. THE PRINCIPLE OF ADMINISTRATION Management By Walking Around - Tom Peters, A Passion for Excellence...under their supervisors Nehemiah under Rehum... Nehemiah under Bavvai Nehemiah 3.18 You don t get what you expect. You get what you inspect. 8. THE PRINCIPLE OF APPRECIATION the number one reason people leave their job is not for a lack of money but for a lack of appreciation. Survey in USA Today Next to him, Baruch son of Zabbai zealously repaired another section... Nehemiah 3.20 The Hebrew word translated zealously means to burn or glow. the people worked with all their heart. Nehemiah 4.6

6 5 Enthusiasm is comes from a Greek word, that literally means in God. Always give yourself fully to the work of the Lord because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain. 1 Corinthians 15.58
