Don't Get Down from the Wall! Nehemiah 4-6

About this episode

The episode discusses Nehemiah's perseverance in the face of opposition while emphasizing reliance on God's strength.

After leading the Israelites to rebuild their city’s walls, Nehemiah faces opposition. From his enemies, he’s distracted, falsely accused, and tempted to fight back against his opponents in his own strength. But instead, Nehemiah continues with the mission God has called him to. He relies on God’s strength, justice, and protection rather than giving in to panic or self-sufficiency. Today as we end our Peace by Piece series, we must expect to face spiritual opposition as well. From Nehemiah, we can learn that being mission-focused means committing to the goals God has laid before us and relying on His strength when we face suffering and attacks from the enemy.
