Week 1
The Prayer (Ch 1)
What do you do when you get news that breaks your heart? One man's first instinct was to kneel and pray, and that prayer became the foundation for something God was about to rebuild.
Watch the messageAn eight-week walk through the book of Nehemiah, and the God who rebuilds what is broken.
When I heard these things, I sat down and wept.Nehemiah 1:4
There are times when life feels like it is in pieces. Nehemiah's story begins in that place. He heard of his city's ruins, turned to God in prayer, and found the strength to rebuild. At New Hope in Clovis, we walked through this story together, asking what God might be restoring in our own lives.
Nehemiah lived far from home, but his heart was still tied to the people of Jerusalem. When he learned what had happened, he mourned. He prayed. Then he stepped forward in faith. This series follows his journey through prayer, planning, opposition, community, and worship. It invites us to look honestly at the broken places around us and remember that God is near in the work of rebuilding.
