Fear is powerful. It can paralyze our decisions, cloud our vision, and steal our joy. In Nehemiah 4, God's people face ridicule and the threat of attacks from enemies who do not want them to rebuild Jerusalem's walls. Yet while fear closes in, they do not give in. Through prayer, careful preparation, and courageous action, they move forward. This Sunday, we’ll explore what it means to have faith that rises when fear closes in.
