The Church finds itself at a pivotal moment, navigating through a season of crisis and uncertainty. As we face these challenges, it is essential that we come together, united in our purpose, to restore, renew, and rebuild. In the book of Nehemiah, we find a powerful example of how to navigate these transformative times.

Firstly, we must restore our hearts. Nehemiah's example reminds us that we must be broken before we can be rebuilt. We must ask God to break our hearts for the things that break his heart, recognizing the deep connection between our own struggles and the suffering of the world around us. This heart-breaking humility allows us to be more compassionate and empathetic towards others, and it fuels our desire to serve and bring hope to those in need.

Secondly, we must renew our focus. Nehemiah's ministry was characterized by a clear vision and a deep commitment to the full ministry of Jesus. We too must strive to renew our focus, allowing God to give us vision for the work that he has called us to do. This vision will guide us in our daily lives, our ministry efforts, and our relationships with others. It will help us to stay grounded in our faith and to remain committed to the mission of bringing glory to God.

Thirdly, we must rebuild our world. Nehemiah's example also reminds us that our faith is not just about personal transformation but also about making a positive impact on the world around us. We must look out to the community around us, seeking to serve and love those in need. This involves building relationships, advocating for justice, and working towards a more equitable and compassionate society.

To help us apply the wisdom of Nehemiah to our cultural moment, Debra Green has written a series of six insightful Bible studies. These studies provide practical insights and guidance on how to practically apply the age-old wisdom of Nehemiah to the challenges and opportunities we face today. Through these studies, we will learn how to restore our hearts, renew our focus, and rebuild our world.

In conclusion, the Church is entering a season of change, and we need to respond with unity, purpose, and humility. By restoring our hearts, renewing our focus, and rebuilding our world, we can bring hope and healing to the world around us. Let us follow Nehemiah's example and be agents of change in our communities and beyond.
