Week 8 – Nehemiah 13 Have you ever read a book or watched a movie and it gets to the end and it leaves you feeling like a deflated balloon? You’ve become invested in the characters and their stories and you have a general idea of how things are going to end but then the grand finale is so disappointing.    Well,Continue reading “Promises Schmomises!”

Week Four – Nehemiah 5 In the past few weeks, we’ve seen Nehemiah burdened by the conditions of Jerusalem, leave his post as the king’s cupbearer.  We’ve followed along as he gathered supplies and resources to rebuild the wall around Jerusalem, surveyed the damage, made plans and organized the Israelites and of course, dealt withContinue reading “Godly Example Mode”
