Nehemiah 1:1-11; How healthy is the church and if it is healthy how long will it be healthy? Nehemiah helps us as a faithful church gauge the effectiveness of our work for the sake of Christ's Kingdom and allows us an opportunity to individually reflect on how we fit into what God is doing. Today in Nehemiah 1 we are given a Honest Assessment of the Church; a honest appeal for the church; and a honest audacity from the church.
