In this lesson, Mike continues preaching from the book of Nehemiah.
We live in a society built on convenience. Convenience stores. Banking apps. Order your coffee, pay online, and pick up your order at the Starbucks window. Isn’t life awesome?
Absolutely!
At least until it’s inconvenient in some way. Then we can become irritable. Hard to get along with. Imagine having wait five minutes for something!
How about your faith? Does serving God sometimes seem inconvenient?
Do you resist the Holy Spirit?
“You stiff-necked people! Your hearts and ears are still uncircumcised. You are just like your ancestors: You always resist the Holy Spirit! Was there ever a prophet your ancestors did not persecute? They even killed those who predicted the coming of the Righteous One. And now you have betrayed and murdered him— you who have received the law that was given through angels but have not obeyed it.”
Acts 7:51-53 (NIV)
