Nehemiah: Spiritual Renewal Week 9

Note: This is the final week of TC this year as we break for the holiday. However we will continue to release podcasts each week for your enjoyment as you prepare your heart to gather on Sunday to behold Jesus. Also, be sure to go look at KC Summer of Fun, after your discussion.

Intro: As the curtain falls on Nehemiah's story Israel enters 400 years of silence. No prophets, no words from God, but a remnant in Israel remains. Then John the Baptist shows up on the scene. Finally, the word of God has reached his people again, and in the words of John the Baptist, "Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world!" John 129. This week we begin our advent series: Behold.
