Beyond… the Urge to Quit


You can download this .mp3

Nehemiah 6 – There is a HUMAN desire to quit.

Nehemiah – “[Explained tough times for himself and ending with]. But, I prayed….”

The vision/mission is unlimited because we serve a limitless God, but Satan will do anything to attack us.

  • We cannot allow Satan to distract us from the vision
  • When the going got tough, Nehemiah prayed.

John 21:1-3,4-7,15-17

  1. Be faithful – inspite of the past(Philippians 3:13)
  2. Be faithful- in the present(John 21:18-20)
  3. Be faithful- in light of the future
    1. John 16:33
    2. 2 Timothy 3:1
    3. James 1:2
    4. 1 Peter 1:7
  • It’s harder to restart after quitting instead of getting beyond the urge to quit
  • We may not know what the future holds but we know WHO holds the future!!

Revelation 2:10b
