Work in Progress: Searching the Shadows (Nehemia 2:11-20)
from Chattanooga Valley Baptist Church · host Brian Carroll
Renewal doesn’t begin with rebuilding. It begins with honesty.In Nehemiah 2:11–20, Nehemiah arrives in Jerusalem and does something unexpected. He doesn’t GIVE a speech. He doesn’t announce a plan. In the middle of the night, he quietly surveys the ruins. His actions remind us of something very important: before anything can be restored, God’s people must be willing to face what is broken and trust Him with what comes next.In this week's sermon, entitled "Searching the Shadows," Pastor Brian reminds us that renewal begins when we stop pretending, take an honest look at the ruins, and place our confidence not in ourselves, but in the faithfulness of God.
