“Revival in the Ruins” – a message from Nehemiah 9

This past weekend at Eastbrook, we continued our series from the book of Nehemiah entitled “Rebuild and Repair: Engaging the World with Nehemiah.” Pastor Ruth Carver preached a message entitled, “Revival in the Ruins,” which was based in Nehemiah 9.

You can find the message outline and video below. You can access the entire series here. Join us for weekend worship in-person or remotely via Eastbrook at Home.
