In this week's sermon through Nehemiah 11:1-12:47, Pastor Ricky asks the question: "What do want the culture of our people to be like?" After the wall surrounding Jerusalem was rebuilt, this was the question that God's people asked themselves.
In these verses, we learn that God has a mission, so we move; God moves in us, and leads us to worship; and God gives, so we give. Ultimately, we find that for us to be this kind of people, it must first be an individual change. When we live out God's desire for his people, the world will see the difference.
