The God Who Fights For Us As We Face Opposition (Nehemiah 4)
Don’t underestimate God’s ability to turn evil into good. David Platt walks through Nehemiah 4 to show how believers are to face opposition, fear, and discouragement with prayer, courage, and unshakeable trust in God.
Preaching from Nehemiah 4, David Platt examines the multi-front opposition Nehemiah faced — ridicule, slander, conspiracy, and internal discouragement — and draws four timeless responses: pray first and continually, fear God rather than people, stay on guard, and keep doing the work. Platt calls the church to refuse surprise when God’s work meets resistance and to trust completely in the God who can turn every act of evil into lasting good.
