Nehemiah 4:7-14

Rev. Tyler Dirks

 

Sermon Audio

 

Sermon Outline:

  1. Stress
  2. Supplication & Shrewdness
  3. Seeing God

Reflection Questions:

  1. When was a time you were really stressed out? How did you attempt to cope with the stress?
  2. Does it stun you to see that Jesus could have opted NOT to experience ALL the temptations and stresses of life, but – shockingly – He chose to?
  3. If you were to let yourself become fixated on the fact that Jesus has chosen to sympathize with you in your weakness and limitations, how might that help you weather stress?
  4. When was a time you thoroughly prayed AND operated shrewdly? What are 5 stories in Scripture that display a robust blend of supplication and shrewdness?
  5. Read Heb. 11:27; 12:2; 1 Peter 1:8; and 2 Cor. 4:18. Talk to a dear friend or relative about your impressions of these passages.
