Nehemiah 11:2 And the people blessed all the men who willingly offered to live in Jerusalem.
We have been reading in Nehemiah how the city of Jerusalem and its walls were being rebuilt, and how the people were turning back to God and renewing their covenant with Him. Today, we read how the people decided WHO would live in the city, and who would remain in the outlying villages. In in the summer of 2007, Pastor Mark Driscoll preached a series of sermons in Nehemiah.
Based off of a list of men specified as leaders in various neighborhoods of Jerusalem, Pastor Mark explains that living missional lives in the city of Seattle is a matter of sacrifice in order to see the gospel of Jesus take root and flow downstream to all areas of culture.
