About this episode

Pastor Josh McPherson discusses the inadequacy of human effort in the face of sin and the necessity of complete trust in Jesus Christ, as illustrated by Israel's history in Nehemiah 9.

God’s people repeatedly sinned, repented, and promised to do better—but their resolve was never enough. In this sermon from Nehemiah 9, Pastor Josh McPherson explains how Israel’s history reveals both the faithfulness of God and the inability of humanity to save itself. The answer is not to try harder, but to trust completely in Jesus Christ. Support the show Thanks for listening! Go to www.StrongerManNation.com for more resources.
