Nehemiah 1:1-11

Preaching: Joel St. Clair

A leader rises. A king approves. Opposition confronts. Community unites. Some part of the mission is accomplished. This is the pattern of Ezra-Nehemiah and in the coming weeks we will consider the impacts of prayer, opposition, community, hard ethical questions, celebration, and expectations are worked out for the people of God. Nehemiah has surprising connections to our own moment - and something to teach us. Through this story of the road of redemption we hear the Gospel of Jesus Christ as the true Savior of His People.
