Repurposed The Memoirs of Nehemiah

Overview

Nehemiah heard about the devastation of the city and people of God … and he acted. In 52 days he accomplished the remarkable feat of rebuilding the walls of Jerusalem. But in doing so, he repurposed the project so that it wasn’t just about building a wall of protection around the holy city. As the walls went up, Nehemiah rebuilt a community of faith, compassion, and hope.

Across the spiritual landscape of the 21st century, the walls are down again. Statistics reveal that many in the modern church are cynical, jaded, and disenfranchised. But this five-session study of the book of Nehemiah can provide lasting principles to rebuild our communities of faith as well.

In his second release from Threads, Mike Hurt examines the memoirs of Nehemiah, builder of walls and communities, and applies principles from this regular man’s life that can restore the faith of the modern Christian community.

Hurt examines such issues as:

• Biblical community
• Spiritual leadership
• True compassion
• God in the secular world

Journey with Nehemiah and discover how once again the walls of faith can be rebuilt.
