Derision: Mockery and Humiliation

Every work of God in the world, whether big or small, faces opposition. If we're going to fulfill what God has called us to, persistence may be the most important skill that we can master. In this week's message from Nehemiah 4 and 6, Pastor J.D. not only shows us the different kinds of opposition that Nehemiah faced, but how he responded. A proper response always starts with remembering how God has been faithful in the past, and this, ultimately, fuels our anticipation of how he will be faithful in the future.
