In this nine-part series, Rebuilding Our Broken Walls, Dr. Youssef looks at the life of Nehemiah — a man who answered God’s call to rebuild the walls surrounding Jerusalem. In this series of hope, perseverance and courage, you’ll learn practical ways to stand firm on God’s word in difficult times.

In this seventh message of Rebuilding Our Broken Walls, Dr. Michael Youssef calls the Church back to authentic revival—rooted not in emotion, but in repentance, reverence, and obedience to God’s Word. Preaching from Nehemiah 7 and 8, he outlines four Biblical keys to revival: assembling with the Body of Christ, affirming the authority of Scripture, adoring the God of grace, and abandoning oneself fully to His will. This message confronts the shallow worship and casual Christianity of our day with a passionate plea for God-centered worship and Word-driven conviction. The joy of the Lord is promised—but only for those who weep over sin, cling to Truth, and surrender fully to the Lordship of Christ.
