Nehemiah Week 2

New Hope Church began in 1999 when Pastor Chuck Farina felt called to start a new church in Abilene, Texas. The church initially met in homes before moving to various locations. After many challenges, Hobby Lobby purchased a building worth over two million dollars for the church in 2002, which they transformed into an 800-seat auditorium. They are a relatively young but diverse congregation, and they welcome everyone to come and experience God's miraculous power.

In part two of this Nehemiah series, Pastor Chuck talks about some of the obstacles that get in the way when we decide to build the wall.

There will be ridicule.
The enemy will use others to attack and offend you.
The enemy will attempt to use the tactic of fear To keep you from building.

Like Nehemiah, we need to recognize the importance and the urgency of continuing to build the wall.

We can't be distracted by the words of our enemies, by bitterness, or by offense. We simply can't afford to be distracted or intimidated. Do not back down. Keep building!
