Resist Opposition

Summary

The sermon explores the theme of anticipating and enduring opposition as a follower of Jesus, using the biblical narrative of Nehemiah rebuilding Jerusalem's wall as a key reference point. The pastor draws a humorous parallel between Red Lobster's "endless shrimp" miscalculation and the spiritual challenges Christians face when unexpected resistance emerges in their faith journey. The core message emphasizes that opposition is inevitable for believers, and the proper response is to trust God, pray, and remain committed to His mission, rather than becoming discouraged or wavering in faith when difficulties arise.
