Speaker: Jerry Witham Series: Nehemiah: Be the Church, Impact the City Passage: Nehemiah 11:1–12:26

Nehemiah recognizes that Jerusalem needs more people to make the city strong and viable.  Over 100,000 people are added to the city from the suburbs.  Nehemiah remembers those unknowns who have such a huge part in the revitalization of Jerusalem.  The unknowns in life help pave the way.  Without them nothing would be accomplished.  God uses the unknowns and they never go forgotten by Him.  During this sermon we remember the many unknowns who never get a chance outside the womb due to abortion.  This week marks 35 years since the landmark case of Roe v. Wade.  May we seek to redeem the culture like Nehemiah did and seek to have abortions made illegal.
