Celebration is not something we only do when we’re happy. Celebration is a posture to life—especially since we have a hope we can always celebrate with the Gospel.

Nehemiah was a visionary leader, innovator, and statesman. I believe that the Book of Nehemiah is as good an entrepreneur’s case study as any I use in the classes I teach at Carnegie Mellon. It offers lessons in leadership on par with well-documented examples of exemplary leadership from modern CEOs. Over the course of this 10-day study, we are going to learn by studying the life of Nehemiah.

Along with Ezra, Nehemiah chronicles the post-exilic history of Israel. Nehemiah's leadership helped resettle Israelites in the land and rebuild Jerusalem's walls. However, Nehemiah's greatest legacy was a renewed national identity rooted in repentance of sin and obedience to God.

Do you feel like you are in a season of loss and ruin? After decades of captivity, the Jews were allowed to return to Jerusalem, only to find the city in ruins.

Often touted as a “leadership” book, Nehemiah is rich in application. The way Nehemiah led the exiled Israelites in Persia to rebuild and reoccupy Jerusalem was as much an exercise in surrender and supplication as it was leadership and strategy.

Month 1 taught us to abide in Christ, Month 2 teaches how that abiding is sustained. We do not flourish through emotion, personality, or inspiration alone. We flourish through God’s Word. Scripture is not a collection of quotes; it is God’s revealed voice, living and active, forming His people. Throughout history God has shaped His people through His Word: speaking creation, forming Israel, renewing hearts, guiding Jesus, anchoring the early church. Spiritual maturity is Word-shaped. This month we learn to read deeply, seek context, ask questions, obey truth, and know God. Steady, fruitful, enduring lives grow here, in Christ.
