Discussed by Mark Lanier
with Biblical Literacy (www.Biblical-Literacy.com)

Day 3

WHY DOES OUR PERSONAL MINDSET ABOUT LIFE MATTER? DOES IT REALLY EFFECT OUR ATTITUDE AND DECISIONS?

Mark Lanier continues with his Romans series this week, explaining what he believes is the entire point of the book. What is the foundation? What is the chiasm that appears in Romans 8? And what is the outcome that Paul was hoping to achieve?

STAYING COMMITTED

Discussed by Pastor Jarrett Stephens
with Champion Forest Baptist Church (www.ChampionForest.org)

Day 3

WHY DOES IT SEEM THAT WHENEVER CHRISTIANS ARE DOING GOD’S WORK, THE OPPOSITION WILL HIT FROM EVERY SIDE?

Pastor Jarrett Stephens continues in his sermon series entitled NEXT: From Northwest Houston to the World. The series is focusing on Nehemiah, whose burden for the people produced a bold faith to fulfill God’s promises.

This week, he will examine two threats that can short-circuit our commitment to God and how Nehemiah dealt with those threats.

Scripture Reference: Nehemiah 4-6

Questions/Issues Discussed:

THREAT #1: Outside Opposition

Yesterday, Pastor Jarrett shared the “next steps” that God revealed to Nehemiah, giving him the courage to continue despite massive opposition and persecution.

Can opposition, which causes discouragement, result in Christians quitting?

Did Nehemiah exhibit integrity despite his circumstances?


THREAT #2: Inside Opposition

What is the danger of inside opposition? DIVISION

Who is the author of division?

Did all the Jews agree with Nehemiah’s plan?

Were some Jews taking advantage of other Jews during the time of opposition?

Tune in tomorrow for more on the division that results from inside opposition.
