Pastor Neal Nybo
The only thing tragedy gives us is the opportunity to rebuild. This week in worship, Pastor Neal begins a new series, Nehemiah - A Well Built, Rebuilt Life. Confronted by tragedy, Nehemiah needed to rebuild, not just Jerusalem’s wall but his own self-understanding and faith in God. We all face the challenge of rebuilding areas of our lives.
Since we all face the same challenge of rebuilding areas of our lives, let’s look for wisdom from Nehemiah whose own struggle for personal purpose and redefining his life has stood the test of time.
