  • Series: Building a City Within the City (Nehemiah)

The book of Nehemiah is the story of one man who God called to lead a movement to restore the city of Jerusalem. The city of Jerusalem in the book of Nehemiah very closely resembles what the church is supposed to be. A light in a dark world, a voice calling out the culture to live life differently.

Big Idea:
We need to get at the root of what is keeping us from entering into what Hebrews calls, “Gods-rest”, because the Sabbath is practicing bringing the kingdom of heaven to earth. It’s practicing God’s ideal for you.
