Ramsey Creek Baptist Church

When Nehemiah finds out there’s a problem he doesn't wring his hands in worry or complain loudly, he immediately begins fasting and praying. Nehemiah will show us that: 1. We as Christians need to learn to pray more fervently. 2. We as Christians need to learn to work more intentionally. 3. We as Christians need to learn to be more patient and hope more expectantly. Revival and renewal swept through the hearts of the people, but not as a result of a new program or a miraculous event: - 8:5-12 says that the people heard and understood the Word of God. - 9:1-37 says that the people repented of their sin. - 9:38-10:39 says that the people covenanted together to live differently. Revival and renewal came as a result of understanding the Word of God, repenting of sin, and covenanting together to live differently.
