God Uses Worldly Opposition To Build His Church

God Uses Worldly Opposition To Build His Church

Ezra 4:1-6:12

 Build the church wisely, knowing the world’s opposition

1. The world will try to infiltrate to stop building the church
2. The world will try to intimidate to stop building the church

  Build the church resolutely, knowing the world wins battles

1. The world will lie to the authorities to stop the church
2. The world will win some victories over the church

 Build the church confidently, knowing God wins the war

1. The world will question our authority to build the church 
2. God will use the world’s opposition to better build the church
