Nehemiah Ch. 5

In chapter 5 of Nehemiah, Nehemiah encounters conflict from within. Despite great progress on the wall, the people’s hearts are not right. Much like the surrounding nations, the Jews begin taking advantage of one another, taxing the poor and putting people in slavery. Nehemiah steps up to confront the issues and make the people promise to treat each other justly. In this message, we see an example about how to handle conflict and love sacrificially.
