Noah Herrin preaches from Nehemiah 6 to show how the enemy tries to stop God-sized work through discouragement, distraction, and attempts to discredit. He frames Way Church as a God-movement that must press on - "I am doing a great work; I cannot come down" - and exhorts people to respond by going all-in in church life, serving in weakness, and pursuing holiness. Herrin illustrates with personal stories (a college Bible study that exploded, his childhood speech impediment) to argue God often uses our weaknesses for his glory. He closes with an invitation to faith, asks the congregation to pray about sacrificial giving for the church's "Only God" offering, and reminds them that the finished work points back to Jesus who "could not come down."
“"I am engaged in a great work. So I can't come down. Why should I stop working to come and meet with you?" (Nehemiah's reply to intimidation)” · Noah Herrin

Practical responses: (1) When discouraged, remember the work is God's and press in rather than quit. (2) Guard against distractions and internal competition that shift focus from mission; go all-in at a local church and serve faithfully. (3) Pursue holiness publicly and privately so sin cannot discredit the work. (4) Pray about sacrificial giving to fund and multiply the ministry.

Wake Up | Noah Herrin at WAY REVIVAL '26
Noah Herrin preaches from Matthew 26 (with other biblical references) calling Christians to "wake up" spiritually. He centers on Jesus in Gethsemane and the jarring detail that the disciples fell asleep when asked to keep watch, drawing three main reasons for their sleep: they got comfortable with God's presence, casual with holiness, and careless with their time.
God Loves Your Enemy | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin preaches from Luke 19 using the story of Zacchaeus to call Christians out of secrecy and into mission. He contrasts a "secret agent" faith with the biblical mandate to be visible witnesses, grounding that in Matthew 5, Matthew 28 and Acts 1.
How to Find Godly Friends | Noah Herrin
Noah Herrin argues that real Christian growth happens in committed local community, not in one-off mountaintop moments or casual attendance. Using Acts 2 as his primary text, he highlights the early church's devotion to the apostles' teaching, fellowship, meals, the Lord's supper, and prayer, and shows how that commitment produced awe, generosity, miracles, and rapid growth.
