Nehemiah 1 - 2

Nehemiah
NehemiahSteve Gregg

Nehemiah, a trusted cupbearer of King Artaxerxes I, is compelled by his deep concern for Jerusalem's distressed state to embark on a journey to help rebuild its walls. He fervently prays and fasts, expressing his broken heart for the city's condition. Nehemiah's commitment to his faith and God's promise lead him to take action, as he boldly approaches the king to request permission and resources for the restoration project. With the assurance of God's favor, Nehemiah sets out to fulfill his mission and bring success to Jerusalem's rebuilding efforts.
