    Overcome discouragement when you redirect your energies, refocus your vision, and rally together.

    A man stopped to watch a Little League baseball game and asked one of the youngsters, “What’s the score?” “We're losing 18-0,” was the answer. “Well,” said the man. “I must say you don't look discouraged.” “Discouraged?” the boy ...read more

    To finnish the work we need to overcome discouragement, overcome fear and always be ready to resist the enemy.

    ENEMIES FROM OUTSIDE A few years ago I was invited to play basketball at the Union centre in Chicago. We were just an average bunch of guys trying to get some excercise. As we were warming up a guy came up and asked if his team could play against us. We said sure. They ended up being the farm ...read more

    These lessons from the life of Nehemiah will show leaders how to respond in the face of adversity.

    Leadership That Just Won't Quit I) When opposition struck, Nehemiah prayed Nehemiah 4:4-5 (NIV) 4 Hear us, O our God, for we are despised. Turn their insults back on their own heads. Give them over as plunder in a land of captivity. 5 Do not cover up their guilt or blot out their sins ...read more

    Encouraging believers to stay the course and finish the task.

    Whenever the people of God start doing the work of God, there is opposition. A worker of weak faith and purpose will quit, but a person of resolution and confidence will overcome the opposition and finish the task. Nehemiah was such a person. Notice in these chapters the opposition that he faced ...read more

    There will always be obstacles and opposition when we attempt things for the Lord. But if we commit it to Him, we will achieve His will.

    Despite opposition Nehemiah keeps them building. He organises the work to go on. We too experience opposition but can trust God to help us to persevere.

    Sermon by Rev George Hemmings Sometimes you read these stories from the Old Testament and they seem so remote, so removed from our modern world that you wonder whether they can have any relevance for us. I mean, as George pointed out last week, we wouldn’t even think of getting out and ...read more

    What principles did Nehemiah use when he was building the wall? We will learn about those principles that will help us to build and advance the Kingdom of God.

    In 2002, Jim Collins & Jerry Porras wrote a book that rocked the corporate world, Built to Last. In it they laid out what makes truly exceptional companies different from comparison companies. In Nehemiah 4, we meet a man who lived 2500 years ago and built a wall that still stands to this day. ...read more

    It should never surprise us when we do the Lord's work and people react with anger, ridicule, and rejection. Nehemiah gives us a great example of how we need to respond when the enemies of God oppose His work.

    In this lesson, I would like to look at the leadership of Nehemiah through the hardship and opposition that the people went through. They had opposition from outside and discouragement from inside, yet they got the job done. It should never surprise us when we do the Lord's work and people react ...read more

    God's work never goes forward without opposition from the enemy. In fact, opposition is almost always caused by success and not failure. In building the walls of Jerusalem, Nehemiah faced much opposition but he knew what to do and now we can know also.

    Nehemiah 4:7-23 (NLT) “But when Sanballat and Tobiah and the Arabs, Ammonites, and Ashdodites heard that the work was going ahead and that the gaps in the wall of Jerusalem were being repaired, they were furious. 8  They all made plans to come and fight against Jerusalem and throw us into ...read more

    There will always be resistance to the work of God, and ridicule and violence are the weapons of the enemy (esp. to the Gospel). Being prepared for the attack is our calling, using the weapons of prayer and scripture.

    Introduction - Nehemiah is a great study of leadership; also shows obedience to God - Remember we saw Nehemiah’s assessing of the project before him, and, -- He also revealed the mission God had given him to his team -- We also noted that the job would be tough … and there would be ...read more
