God will draw us together for His Kingdom work to glorify His name as we continue to dive deeper into Nehemiah.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">One thing we need to know, there are few months in between chapter 1 and 2. \u00a0During those few months, Nehemiah\u2019s passion to rebuild the wall did not die down but intensified.\u00a0 The vision was much clear to him as he continued to pray and discern. At the end, he experienced the gracious hand of God upon him.\u00a0 As a child of God,\u00a0 we truly believe God loves us and wants us to grow.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Come and explore together on this Sunday how God shapes us for His kingdom and how we should prepare as we know God\u2019s favour is upon us.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right;\">Pastor Julian Wong<\/p>\n<h4>Pray<\/h4>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 40px;\">Lord Jesus Christ, thank you for grace and provision.\u00a0 Open our eyes to see your gracious act, open our ears to listen to your voice, open our hearts to receive your vision in our life.\u00a0 Give us discerning hearts and the courage to follow your will.\u00a0 In Jesus\u2019 name, we pray.
