reBUILD in the Face of Fear

by

Fear can be crippling. If the enemy of your soul can cause you to live in a spirit of fear, then he will be able to stop you from reBUILDING your faith, your heart, your marriage, your family, or your community.

There are three typical responses to fear:

  • Flight
  • Fight
  • Freeze

In today’s message from Nehemiah 6:5-14, we learn a Godly approach for handling public & private attacks of fear.

reBUILD in the Face of Distraction

by

The story of Nehemiah is the story of a person called by God, who knew the mission, and understood the honor that his life could bring to God. In the process God used Nehemiah to reBUILD a city and inspire a people.

When God puts it in your heart to reBUILD your life, your family, or your community, you can be sure that the enemy of God will use anything and everything he can to stop you from renewing hope. In today’s sermon from Nehemiah 6:1-4, we learn about the enemy’s tactic of distraction and how to stand firm.

And I sent messengers to them, saying,
“I am doing a great work and I cannot come down.
Why should the work stop while I leave it and come down to you?” – Nehemiah 6:3

Identify Distractions by Asking Four Questions:
