Some leaders have not found the secret to being a true blessing to their followers. Instead, they lay burdens on the backs of those they lead. Nehemiah is a great example of a builder who blesses those he leads. Learn some lessons from his life.

This is a sermon that honestly looks at how even as Christians, we still struggle with the things we know we should and should not do.

One of my things as a pastor is that I try to be as transparent as I can be. I tend to share stories that show my faults as much as my strengths.

based on 1 rating
