Recovering From Temptation

"share The Vision" Series

Contributed by David Henderson on Sep 23, 2024

This is a series I preached through the OT book of Nehemiah. Although the series covers various topics, it is intended to follow the vision God gave to Nehemiah and apply those principles to churches and Christian business leaders as well.

You have likely felt the same way at times about the responsibilities you carry as well. For me it comes down to figuring out which ...read more
