Defending the Oppressed

Jan 28, 2025  •  Jason Pace, Chuck Bloom

Nehemiah 5 paints a picture of economic disparity and the cry for justice. It shows the transformative power of godly leadership, as Nehemiah confronts the elite, putting a stop to the usury. His selfless devotion and compassion towards his people sets an example for leaders today. The story beckons us to challenge unjust practices, stand for what is right, and live selflessly, banking our hope and rewards not on worldly riches but on the divine remembrance of our good deeds.
