A Leadership-Defined Community (February 14)

A Mile in His Shoes

Nehemiah had every reason on earth to lose hope and give up, but he didn’t. He trusted God and had access to every resource in heaven to combat his earthly crises. Nehemiah persevered to become one of the Bible’s greatest leaders.

February 14: A Leadership-Defined Community

Too often community is defined by a group consensus or a vote. Biblical community is defined by being part of the body of Christ. This kind of community cannot happen without a leader defining and defending it.
