How are you postured? 🤔💭 #Nehemiah #Surrendered #Love #Action #Community #Faith #Chicago #Christ

Main message: God blesses and elevates people not for personal glory but so they can serve and bless their community; like Nehemiah, believers should respond to need with a willing, communal servant-heart.

Key points:

• God opens doors and gives gifts (education, resources, position) so we can help others, teach, invest, and advocate.
• Blessing and elevation are meant to make us instruments for community blessing, not objects of admiration.
• The Christian life is collective: God's work is about "us" working together, not individual success.
• Nehemiah modeled the right response to brokenness—he offered himself to be used rather than waiting for someone else to act.
• Servanthood requires saying, "Lord, if you can use me, send me," and being willing to participate in rebuilding and restoration.
