We are all leading in some way—the only question is if we’re doing it in a way that pleases God. In this message, Pastor Jonathan Laurie reminds us that good leadership is everything.

Notes:

Focus verse - Nehemiah 9
  
#1 Own It: Leadership Starts with Repentance and Truth.
Nehemiah 9:1–3
 
Good leaders don’t cover up sin; they confess it.
 
1 Corinthians 3:19–20
 
Real change starts with us.
It’s personal repentance and a return to God’s truth.
 
The Israelites turned their eyes inward and recognized that the true crisis wasn’t external, but internal.
 
#2 Remember it: Leadership Looks Back to Move Forward.
Nehemiah 9:17–20
 
A nation that forgets its past is doomed to repeat it.
A nation that remembers it’s past is prepared to grow from it.
 
God was merciful, patient, and faithful to restore Israel.
 
God has not forsaken us.
 
We need leaders who commit to God’s truth and refuse to compromise.
 
#3 Live It: Leadership walks the talk.
Nehemiah 9:38–10:1, 10:28–29
 
Israel committed to change and follow God afresh.
 
Our nation needs men and women of conviction.
 
“But as for me and my house, we will serve the Lord.”
Joshua 24:15 (NKJV)
