Getting Started

March 3, 2024 • Dr. Jeff Schwarzentraub • Nehemiah 2:11–20

Jesus confronted the brokenness of the world by healing the sick and marginalized, showing them the way to hope and restoration. He called people to repentance and transformation, offering forgiveness and salvation through a relationship with God. Followers of Christ are challenged to do the same by confronting brokenness, pointing others to Jesus for healing, and being agents of reconciliation empowered by the Holy Spirit. By stepping out in faith and love, we can make a lasting impact in the world and bring the light of Christ into the darkness.
