3. Nehemiah’s Mission
Contributed on Feb 9, 2016
The declaration and mission of Nehemiah is more than just rebuilding a wall, it's a calling for men and women to return to living fully for the God in heaven. Doesn't the church today have the exact same mission? Why are we not living it?

7. God’s Word Brings Revival
Contributed on Apr 6, 2016

8. Crying Out Because We’ve Sinned
Contributed on Apr 11, 2016
Would we cry out to God to confess that we have sinned and He is just? Sometimes it is appropriate to cry out as a community for God’s mercy. The Israelite's knew enough to cry out to God for mercy … can’t we?

11. Are You Committed?
Contributed on Nov 21, 2021
Nehemiah is great study of leadership, but also challenges us on Godly obedience. However, obedience to God’s calling is one of our greatest hurdles in today’s world. Nehemiah established a covenant with the people that is still in effect today, if we are willing to be faithful to God!
