Only a true revival can heal America—and we can all play a part in it.

Notes:

Focus verse: Nehemiah 1

As Christians, we want to see America godly again!

Nehemiah is about restoring a nation’s heart to God.

A true revival can heal our land and make it godly again.

Revival is restoration. It’s coming back to life. It’s waking up spiritually and getting back to living the Christian life.

Your spiritual house can be rebuilt.
You can go from rubble to revival.
