In this message from October 4, Pastor Kyle is in Nehemiah 6 where we see the three distinct waves of attack the enemy launched against Nehemiah as he neared the completion of the wall around Jerusalem. Each attack came in a different form — a deceptive invitation, a public smear campaign, and a corrupted voice from within — yet each had the same goal: to pull Nehemiah away from the work of God. As followers of Christ, we face the same kinds of opposition in our marriages, families, workplaces, and churches. The enemy does not always come to destroy us outright; often he simply aims to distract us, discourage us, or deceive us long enough for the work to stop. Nehemiah's response — grounded in discernment, rooted in the Word, and fueled by prayer — offers a powerful model for how we can remain faithful to the kingdom work God has called each of us to, wherever He has placed us.
