This week we continue the series “Embracing Revival: Serving Christ With Excellence” as we look at the topic “Compassion in Action: What Breaks Your Heart?” Our focus continues in the Book of Nehemiah and today we look at Nehemiah 1:1-4.
Nehemiah’s reaction to the news concerning Jerusalem shows he was a man of deep spiritual character. His body was in Persia but his heart and interest were in Jerusalem, some 1,300 km away.
Our world today is facing problems of immense proportions. On November 15, 2022, the world’s population reached 8 billion people. Hunger, wars, and natural disasters are on the rise and more pandemics could be on the horizon. On the other hand, the hope of Christ-followers, centered around His imminent return, grows brighter and brighter with each passing year. What breaks your heart?
