Cornerstone Of Our Faith, The - Nehemiah: Rebuilding God's People To Reflect God's Purpose

Life in this fallen world is full of struggles and storms. Sometimes the storms can knock us off our feet and cause us to wonder if we’ll ever be able to recover. When we are down, we can look with confidence to the God of revival. The same One who raised Jesus from the dead is also able to raise us up from our trouble. God’s Word gives us the example of Nehemiah – a man who would not let his people stay down. William Jones transfers that ancient account into the keys to a modern-day revival. He carefully explores the delicate balance between trusting God to do His part and acting in faith to do our part. The end result is rebuilding, recovery, and revival.
