Background Israel was politically broken, socially broken, religiously broken community and to the shock of our lives, we too live in times similar to these! We are asked to go into a community of people who are in great need and increased possibilities. How do we restore, revitalize, and renew a community that is broken. How Book of Nehemiah shows this! What did we learn in this two months of study? Chapter 1 – Comfort didn’t alter Nehemiah’s Concern for the broken Nehemiah prays for his people! His concern for his people: the broken community became his the utmost priority. Living in a comfort zone of Persia did not deviate his passion to restore his community. Too often, our comfort zones changes our priorities in life. We forget our community, our passion, our call, our ministry, our l...
