Nehemiah 4:1-9

Sermon Highlights:

“Opposition”
*When you step out to serve the Lord, expect opposition.
*When opposition comes, God wants us to come to Him first.
*Turn it over to God.
*Pray for those who persecute you.
*Leave your request to God and continue pressing on with you work for God.

*Reasons for Opposition”
-People around us have different agendas.
-People are resistant to change.
-There is spiritual opposition. Satan works very hard to seek and destroy us.

Our response to opposition:
Pray – Keep Working – Work with all your heart
Colossians 3:23-24
(NIV1984)
23 Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, 24 since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving.
