Build The Church By Being The Church

Contributed by Paul Woodhouse on Aug 16, 2022

Nehemiah has notable character strengths which enabled the Jews to deal with conflict and injustice among them.

There exists a direct correlation between the effectiveness of our mission and how we treat one another as God’s people. We must be the church before we can build the church. We must care for one another before we can hope to reach our neighborhood, this city, the world. *No one is going to ...read more
