Good Intentions verses True Revival | Nehemiah Week 11

In today’s sermon, Cy Calhoun, the Family Ministry Director at Heirloom Church, dives deep into the message from Nehemiah 11-12, exploring the difference between good intentions and true revival. Revival isn’t just about a quick start or momentary excitement—it’s about lasting faithfulness. True revival is marked by willing sacrifice, joyful worship, and sustained commitment. 

Cy encourages us to reflect on how our own lives can experience this kind of transformation, emphasizing that revival begins with a cost—a willingness to follow through even when it’s uncomfortable. He compares the revival journey to the familiar story of the tortoise and hare, highlighting the importance of discipline and dedication over speed. 

Join Cy as he unpacks how the people of Israel in Nehemiah’s time demonstrated revival through sacrifice, and how their example points us back to Christ—the ultimate sacrifice that makes true revival possible. Whether you're in a season of excitement or weariness, this message invites you to embrace a deeper, more sustained commitment to God's work in your life.

Listen now to learn how to move beyond good intentions and experience the lasting transformation that comes with true revival.
