Teaching Pastor Andrew Burkhart leads us through Rebuild. Renew. Restore. part 8. In Nehemiah 5 people were suffering because of the greed of the wealthy Jewish nobles. Nehemiah steps in and lovingly confronts the sin being committed, as well as the sin in his own life. We also are called to confront sin as we step into community. Jesus, being the greater Nehemiah, demonstrated this for us; He lovingly confronted us in our sin and ultimately gave His life for us so we can be forgiven.
