Building Change Starts Within the Heart - Season 5, Episode 14
from Eastland Baptist Messages · host Benjamin Siens
For nearly a century, Jerusalem's remnant accepted brokenness as their permanent condition—surviving rather than thriving. How do we break free from normalized dysfunction and complacency in our own lives? Pastor Dorrell examines Nehemiah's response to his people's despair, arguing that external transformation begins with internal reformation of the heart. Through Nehemiah's four-month season of prayer and fasting, the sermon illuminates how positioning our hearts toward God's power and covenant faithfulness enables us to interrupt cycles of defeat and accomplish what seems impossible. You are challenged to identify the brokenness you've accepted as normal and, like Nehemiah, to pray, repent, and rise to rebuild what has been destroyed.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
