Listen "S4.E16 - Discouragement"
Episode Synopsis
In this week’s lesson from Nehemiah 4, Pastor Daniel talks about how Nehemiah and the people faced discouragement while they were building the wall. God has called us to work hard and it is hard work! Everyone faces opposition in fulfilling their ministry. Where do we find the strength to overcome it? Pastor Daniel will tell us in this episode. In Pastor’s Perspective, Pastor Joe Williams talks about his own battles with discouragement through the years and how he has learned. Discouragement is not unique to leadership, and we can help others as they face their own struggles in this life. God is an overcomer!

“Before any great achievement, some measure of depression is very usual.” - Charles Spurgeon—“The Christian life is not a constant high. I have my moments of deep discouragement. I have to go to God in prayer with tears in my eyes, and say, 'O God, forgive me,' or 'Help me.’“ -Billy Graham—I am weary with my moaning; every night I flood my bed with tears; I drench my couch with my weeping. - Psalm 6:6—“The Christian's chief occupational hazards are depression and discouragement.” - John Stott— "Every person who has grown to any degree of usefulness, every person who has grown to distinction, almost without exception has been a person who has risen by overcoming obstacles, by removing difficulties, by resolving that when he met discouragement he would not give up.” - Booker T. Washington—Cast your burden on the LORD, and he shall sustain you. - Psalm 55:22— I will remember the deeds of the Lord; yes, I will remember your wonders of old. - Psalm 77:11—My brothers, if anyone among you wanders from the truth and someone brings him back, let him know that whoever brings back a sinner from his wandering will save his soul from death and will cover a multitude of sins. - James 5:19-20—Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil. For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! - Ecclesiastes 4:9-10
