Today is the last day of our Nehemiah reading; the book ends not with a bang but with a whimper.

Instead of ending with the victorious and thrilling celebration that Nehemiah leads after the completion of the walls (our reading for yesterday about which I didn’t write because I didn’t have anything interesting to say!), the book ends instead with proof that Nehemiah’s great leadership has not actually changed the people.

What does that mean?

Short answer: we cannot save ourselves, because the problem is within every human heart.

Long answer: you’ll need to watch my sermon for this Sunday. I recorded it last night and I think it would be better for you to watch it than for me to try to summarize it here. Sermon will be available at mungerplace.org and via podcast starting at 6 AM Sunday.

Revelation Comes Next!

We are going to start reading Revelation together on Monday, October 12. More details to follow.

At Munger, we are handing out Revelation booklets. If you don’t live in Dallas but want to follow along, you can buy one for yourself here.
