In our wealthy culture, it’s easy to forget the difference between luxury and necessity. You get so accustomed to the conveniences and comforts, that when you’re forced to ration or downsize your living, you feel like you’re really suffering, despite the fact that you still have more than the vast majority of people in our world. As Pastor Mark continues to lead us through Nehemiah in today’s message, he challenges us to learn what it means to depend on God for your fulfillment. Don’t look to the luxuries of life for contentment. God will provide for your needs, and you can find complete joy in Jesus Christ alone.
