There are moments when we feel compelled to do something—an urge, a burden, a calling that won’t let us stay still. Sometimes God places that kind of burden on our hearts, giving us a desire to take action. But what do we do with it? Do we step into the unknown and follow where He leads, or do we let fear, priorities, or selfishness keep us from acting? Nehemiah had something on his heart that he couldn’t ignore, so he did something about it. What can his decisive actions teach us about responding when God places something on our hearts?

From Series: "Do Something: From Burden to Action"

Sometimes the next step isn't obvious. We sense God stirring something in our hearts—a burden we can't ignore—but we're not always sure what to do with it. Whether it's serving others, meeting a need in our community, or making a difference in our church, God often begins with a burden before He reveals the plan. Join us at Flagstone for our new series, Do Something: From Burden to Action, as we follow the story of Nehemiah and discover how God used an ordinary man with an extraordinary burden to accomplish something significant. Along the way, we'll see that God is still calling His people to step out in faith and take action today.
