    The book of Nehemiah gives us insight into what it will take for the Power of God to be restored in your city.

    There are far too many people standing in the pulpit who are teaching false doctrine. What we’re seeing in the Church today was prophesied more than 50 years ago. This message looks at a portion of that prophecy.
