Why are we having to repair or rebuild? What happened?
*Pandemic
The pandemic exposed fear, lack of communication, lack of planning, and lack of youth in many churches. This can be corrected by understanding God’s perfect love; updating our systems; using our time wisely; and embracing the next generation.
*Before beginning the task of repairing or rebuilding we must first get equipped
Ephesians 4:11-12
Strategies used by Nehemiah:
Persevere in prayer[repent: he acknowledges sin in his life;remind: he reminds God of His word; request: he asks for success and favor]
Seize the opportunity [permission: the king allows him to go; provision: the king gives him the resources needed; protection: the king gives him a military escort]
