Sermon Discussion Questions
- What did Penny say comes to mind for most of us when we think about leadership? Brainstorm ways our society affirms the model of hero leadership.
- The list of names in Nehemiah 3 indicates God's concern in valuing all sorts and kinds of people. What sorts of people are undervalued in our society? In our families? In our churches? Who in your life might you be currently struggling to value?
- What's really going on when we undervalue people? In what way are we objectifying people rather than treating them as image bearers?
- Penny noted how even a perfume maker made it to the work site of rebuilding the wall! What does this communicate about the way in which God uses his people? Why is working together and valuing each other's gifts so difficult, even in the church?
- For whom are we ultimately working? Where do we find this in Nehemiah 3? How should the Israelite's example in this passage change the way that we go about our work? What steps could you implement to make that happen?
