Nehemiah 5:1-19
Growth Through Conflict

All of us have to deal with conflict.  For that matter, as long as there is more than one person in the room, we are pretty much guaranteed an argument.  In fact, we may need only ourselves to have a heated debate!  Often we would rather avoid conflict than address it head on, and when we do take on conflict, we sometimes leave our Christian example at the door.

Nehemiah dealt with conflict throughout his time leading the rebuilding of the walls of Jerusalem.  His response to disagreements as well as his example continues to encourage us today.
