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

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

Questions/Issues Discussed:
THREAT #2: Inside Opposition
Was Nehemiah aware of the opposition among the Jewish people?
How did he respond to that opposition? Quote from Stephen Davey: “From the very first church in Jerusalem to the church in Corinth to the Church today, the greatest threat to the testimony and advancement of Christianity may very well be Christians.”
Will God ever bless division within the Church? (Psalm 133:1; John 17:20-21)
NEHEMIAH’S RESPONSE:
He prays.
He confronts.
He works.

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?

Pastor Jarrett offers some encouragement from “Nehemiah’s Play Book”.
Why did Nehemiah pray for FOUR months? Was God hearing his prayer? Pastor Jarrett reminds us that God hears ALL prayers – long or short – elegant or simple.
