Facing Criticism & Opposition

In this message Pastor Byron teaches from Nehemiah chapter 4 how to face criticism and opposition when doing God’s work, reminding believers that difficulty often confirms you’re in God’s will rather than indicating you’re outside it. He examines three types of opposition Nehemiah faced—criticism through ridicule, threats of violence, and defeatism—showing that effective response requires taking criticism to God in prayer, recognizing the fleshly nature behind opposition, and maintaining a biblical worldview that we’re in spiritual warfare.
