APOLOGIES TO OUR VIEWERS AS TO THE ABRUPT END OF THE MESSAGE. (Technical error)


"Revival & Toxic Aftermath"


In our last chapter of Nehemiah, I wish I had better news for you. I wish I could tell you that they had a great revival, recommitted their lives to the Lord, dedicated the wall with such joy, and lived happily ever after.


Now that would be nice, but it's not the case.


It turns out, having accomplished the building of the wall and helping to re-orient people back to YHWH and His word, Nehemiah headed back to Shushan and the Persian palace.


After a year or two, he takes a leave of absence to see what is happening in Jerusalem and how the people are getting along.


Well, in his absence, things are not going swimmingly! They have gone right back to doing the very things they said they would never do!!


We will look at three toxic problems following the revival, and three solutions enacted by Nehemiah. BTW...Nehemiah is just beside himself with what he discovers! I can't say he is pulling ut his own hair.....but there is some hair pulling going on! Yes, really! 


What's that all about? How can I or we avoid backsliding? Well...


...VIEW...AND...SEE!
