Nehemiah

Rebuilding with Rejoicing

Gene AdamsMay 18, 2025All Church

Summary

The people joyfully dedicated themselves to God's mission in Jerusalem, praised him for his help in rebuilding Jerusalem, and prepared themselves for a long future of serving God in Jerusalem. If they had not dedicated themselves in this way, everything they'd done so far would be pointless.
