FROM RUINS TO RENEWAL: GOD REMEMBERS, REBUILDS & RESTORES HIS PEOPLE
Main Idea of Nehemiah: The book of Nehemiah shows us how God remembers, rebuilds, and restores broken people and communities. He calls us to dependence, boldness, perseverance, trust, and obedience as we are shaped by His Word to worship Him, work for His namesake, and wait on His promise to be fulfilled.
