Challenging Injustice
Notes for begining 15 November 2021
Read together Nehemiah 5
- If we use the words ‘injustice’ and ‘exploitation’- what comes into your minds?
- We find it easy to point the finger, but what does greed look like in our own lives?
- Why was this a crisis point for God’s people?
- Imagine a scenario where Nehemiah ignored the problem – where could that have led to?
- The guilty people respond well (v.13) – how can we learn to be responsive when challenged by God’s Word?
- Is it important that leaders set an example? Give some Biblical examples, both positive and negative?
- Think of 3 practical ways in which we cultivate generosity and hospitality instead of greed and exploitation – through our lifestyles.
