Thriving in exile, Nehemiah garners the favor of the kind and goes to Jerusalem to rally and cast vision to God’s people to restore the wall of the city. As he casts vision, he encounters opposition and encouragement, but ultimately as we go into the areas God has called us, God gives us our identity, strength, power and foundation. KEY TEXTS: Nehemiah 1:11-2:20; Nehemiah 1:4-11a; Romans 8:31-34; 1 Peter 2:9
