In this sermon from Nehemiah 5, Pastor Mike explores the principle that 'the end does not justify the means.' He examines how Nehemiah discovered that while the walls of Jerusalem were being rebuilt (a good work), wealthy Jews were exploiting their poorer brothers through usury and debt slavery. Nehemiah's response demonstrates that how we accomplish God's work is as important as the work itself. The pastor applies this principle to three areas: governing authorities, the church, and individual Christian living, emphasizing that all work done by believers is God's work and must be conducted with integrity, regardless of the desired outcome.
