In the 20th year of King Artaxerxes, Nehemiah, the king’s cupbearer, felt compelled to go to Jerusalem and fortify its walls in order to protect it from its hostile neighbors.
In the story of Nehemiah we see a wonderful example of how the Kingdom of God should work. In Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday’s devotionals we are going to explore the 11 lessons learned from Nehemiah that will teach us how we should approach the task of building the Kingdom of God in our lives today.
The 11 Lessons are:
- Count the Cost
- Work in Community
- Expect Opposition
- Lead as a Servant
- Stay Focused
- Teach Well
- Celebrate God’s Goodness
- Remember and Repent
- Bring Offerings to God
- Support the Spiritual Leaders
- Stay on Guard
