    Disapproval and discouragement can result from ridicule. We should choose not to respond in the same manner or to become discouraged when we are ridiculed for our faith or criticized for doing what we know is right.

    Many years prior to Nehemiah’s time, the Northern Kingdom had been conquered and many were taken captive to other lands.

     | 1,315 views

    When facing an enemy, we must be wearing the proper gear for battle.

    You cannot stand against the enemy without your battle rattle. You must be wearing the whole armor of God. The battle is not a natural one, therefore natural weapons are ineffective.

     | 1,189 views

    We do not need to let our fears control us. By doing so we make our fears come in front of God. We need to recognize that God is stronger than our fears and when He has called us to do something, He will help us in doing that task.

    based on 4 ratings
     | 8,366 views

    In this sermon we are not so focused on what the Bartimaeus miracle was, but how he received it. God is no respect of persons but he is a respect of faith. If we can walk the steps of Bartimaeus we can get our own miracle.

    Mark 10:46-52 TLB And so they reached Jericho. Later, as they left town, a great crowd was following. Now it happened that a blind beggar named Bartimaeus (the son of Timaeus) was sitting beside the road as Jesus was going by.

    Godly leaders must possess humility, patience, and tact, just like Nehemiah. How we approach any situation, and the attitude we possess, will greatly affect our ability to lead and enjoy success.
