Day 7: Nehemiah 7: How to Protect and Preserve the HOLY people


Hey Reader,

As we continue our journey through the book of Nehemiah, chapter 7 packs a powerful punch!

Though it may appear to be just a list of names and numbers at first glance, there is so much wisdom to glean. Though the physical work was done, Nehemiah knew the people were still vulnerable. They were small in number, still learning to trust God and each other, and needed protection from both physical and spiritual attack.

In today's Bible study video, we unpack three key aspects Nehemiah focused on after completing the wall as he teaches us that great leadership doesn't end when the project is over.

As you watch today's teaching, consider how you can apply these principles in your own life and areas of influence. And don't forget to share what God reveals to you in the comments!

Let's continue to build our firm foundation together, Reader.

Hey Reader,Have you ever been in a situation that made you wonder where God was in all of it? Sometimes it feels like no matter how well we treat others, how much we walk in integrity, or how often we pray, there is a resistance or opposition that comes against us. The Bible says that believers are destined for troubles, but it also says that God is faithful to rescue us from them all. The key is to stand in faith by holding on to what is good and turning away from evil. I’m talking about...

Reader, I’m sending you this email to let you know that everything is working together for your good–and yes, even that... How amazing it is that we serve a God so good and faithful, who’s able to make everything we go through fit into His plan and purpose for our lives?! I know it’s not always easy to remember this when you’re going through, but that’s why we’re doing the weekly Thessalonians challenge. In the scriptures, Apostle Paul gives us a framework for standing firm in our faith, no...

Hey Reader, I want to share a bit of hard truth with you: spiritual growth begins with awareness. There are a lot of people who think that walking with God will automatically make life easier, but Christians are not exempt from life challenges.
