2024 ThemeCast - Heart Work Nehemiah 4:6 LSB Nehemiah 6:15-16 NASB John 16:33 NASB We must be honest about problems without being defeated. We must approach problems with humility and not pride. Repentance is the on-ramp when we aren't right. There must be no alternate vision, or lack of embracing the vision from leaders to members, if we are going to see the end glorify Christ. There will always be problems and always be adversity because there is an adversary. We must remember that negativity breeds negativity. There will be opposition with-out; and there will be onlookers within.
