In this message from Leesburg Christian Church’s "Awaken" series, Jon Welch explores Nehemiah 1:1–2:8 and the theme “God Works In You Before He Works Through You.” The sermon examines how Nehemiah responded to the brokenness of Jerusalem with grief, confession, fasting, and prayer before taking action to rebuild. Through this message, we reflect on areas of spiritual drift, sin patterns, or brokenness in our own lives, and consider how genuine transformation begins with honest prayer and repentance.
