Nehemiah 4 - Standing Firm

July 13, 2025

In the fourth week of studying Nehemiah, Pastor Joseph Perrino explores chapter four and the historical and spiritual journey of Nehemiah, a trusted cup-bearer to King Artaxerxes, who receives permission to rebuild Jerusalem's walls after 150 years of neglect. Facing opposition from enemies, Nehemiah demonstrates leadership through persistent faith, prayer, and strategic preparation. This message highlights themes of acknowledging weaknesses, perseverance, seeking God's guidance, and encouragement in overcoming life's challenges, drawing parallels to modern spiritual battles and recognizing Nehemiah as a Christ-like figure.
