Nehemiah and the 7 C's: Courageous

Afraid of the conversation you need to have? The decision you can't avoid? The step you know God is asking you to take?Most of us picture courage as loud and heroic. Biblical courage is usually quieter. It's telling the truth when it costs you. It's loving someone when you don't feel like it. It's refusing to compromise when everyone around you does.In Nehemiah 2, a cupbearer who is "very much afraid" steps into a moment far bigger than himself. What carries him isn't confidence in his own ability. It's knowing "the gracious hand of my God" is on him.In Week 2 of Nehemiah and the 7 Cs, Pastor Aaron McRae shows how courage helps us:--see what God is doing,--step up when He opens a door, and--stand when opposition comes.Courage isn't about who you are. It's about who God is.📖 Scripture: Nehemiah 2:1–20 · Ephesians 6:13 · Matthew 5:43–45 · Romans 12:14 · Ephesians 3:12 · Hebrews 4:16 · Ephesians 6:19 · Philippians 1:20 · John 16:33📚 Resources Mentioned-Thomas Aquinas, Summa Theologiae-Aristotle, Nicomachean Ethics#Courage #FaithOverFear #Nehemiah #BibleStudy #ChristianLiving #Sermon #HillsideChurch #7CsFor the full gathering of this message which includes worship, visit our Youtube channel. Stay Connected With Hillside Community Church.Youtube | https://www.youtube.com/c/HillsideCommunityChurchInstagram | https://www.instagram.com/hillsidechurches/Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/hillsidechurchesWebsite | https://hillsidechurches.com
