What burdens you?

No, seriously. What burdens you so deeply that you are moved to action?🏃🏾‍♀️🏃🏻

If you’re not sure what that is or why it matters, this sermon is for you!

In this week’s sermon, Pastor Darius walks through the story of Nehemiah to highlight how:

1. The physical condition of Jerusalem was representative of the spiritual condition of Jerusalem.
2. Nehemiah was burdened for his city and its people.
3. Nehemiah’s burden led him to action.
4. Nehemiah examined the destruction.
5. Nehemiah’s work required willing servants and supernatural strength.
6. Nehemiah finished the work and was relieved of the burden.
