Nehemiah | Finishing Strong in the Final Mile - Season 5, Episode 31
from Eastland Baptist Messages · host Jesse Becker
Why do many begin well in the work of God but fail to finish? Why does opposition seem to intensify just as the goal comes into view? In Nehemiah 6:1-19, Pastor Dorrell examines the final stage of rebuilding Jerusalem’s wall and reveals how distraction, defamation, and deceit are used to draw God’s people away from their calling. The sermon shows that faithfulness is not marked by dramatic moments but by steady perseverance, as Nehemiah refuses to abandon a great work despite mounting pressure. True victory comes through continuing in obedience rather than yielding to lesser pursuits or fear. The listener is challenged to remain focused, guard their integrity, and finish the work God has given them to do.Eastland is a Place to BelongEastland Baptist Church is located in Tulsa, Oklahoma.
