A MODEL OF SPIRITUAL LEADERSHIP


Nehemiah 1-6, 13


Humility Turns Us to God (1:4-11)
• The primary theme of Nehemiah is the Lord’s protection of His people, and prayer is a means through which God accomplishes that end.
• What kills self-reliance more effectively than prayer? What makes a louder statement of God-reliance than prayer?

Love Drives Us to People (2:1-5)
• Spiritual leadership is unavoidably personal in nature.
• Love isn’t content to send notes or a check. Love goes.

Task Brings Us Together (3:1-6:16)
• We have a shared and soul-thrilling assignment from God.
Faith Sends Us to Bed (13:1-30)
• The work, which began with an open hand of trust in the grace and goodness of God, ends the same way.
• Nothing and no one – not even Nehemiah – but Jesus Christ can ensure the preservation of our faith.

Thanks Matt!
