Coping with Opposition // A Sacred Assignment // Chris Wienand

This week, Chris taught from Nehemiah 4. In the midst of rebuilding, Nehemiah and his people faced relentless pressure—yet their persistence became a model for how we’re called to live: steadfast, courageous, and full of the Spirit.

Chris challenged us to imagine what our church might look like if each of us carried the same resilient heart for God’s Spirit—pushing through fear, doubt, and imposter syndrome to pursue the sacred assignments before us. True human flourishing isn’t found in chasing happiness, success, or security, but in remembering the Lord and trusting that He is leading us toward victory.
