03/22/2009 - Living in the Tension - Nehemiah 1

When you look at the problems of poverty, injustice, lives torn apart by divorce, drugs, or tragedy, do you say, "I hope someone does something to help" or do you pray, "Lord, use me as your servant to help"? When we're confronted with a broken world all around us, we should cry out to God as the prophet Nehemiah did with weeping and contrition, and ask, "O God, hear my cries, and give me Your grace to make a difference." In this message, we here how Dhati Lewis, a church planter supported by LBC, felt that burden and prayed that prayer, and is now following God by faith to rebuild a community and bring the good news of Jesus Christ to inner city Atlanta.
