Matt Bennett kicked off Christian’s Union Nexus 2019 conference by inviting students to consider the example set by one of the kings of the Old Testament: Jehoshaphat. As a leader, Jehoshaphat “set his heart to seek God”, was obedient to walk in God’s ways, and was took bold initiative to lead his people to the Lord.
Matt emphasized the grace that God offers and urged students to take time with God to search their hearts. He asked: Does anything prevent you from being courageous in the ways of the LORD? (32:53)
