We are going to take the next few weeks and look at a story in the Old Testament about a guy named Nehemiah. Nehemiah was a very ordinary Jewish man, who did an extraordinary thing. It was so extraordinary that the Jewish people decided to include his story in the Jewish Scriptures. This is a story just jammed full of leadership lessons, life lessons, and good advice. But, more than anything, this is a story that looks surprisingly a lot like OUR story. Because this is a story about the return. This is a story about rising from the rubble.
