Rebuilding Blocks: Endurance

The number one contributor to spiritual growth in a person's life is not an effective preacher, a dynamic small group, or a powerful worship experience. The number one contributor to spiritual growth is suffering, setbacks, and challenges. These are the moments we don't wish for or choose, but when they come and it seems that the walls of our life have crumbled, we need to know how to respond. In the book of Nehemiah, we read about a rebuilding project that faces opposition. From it we can learn a little bit more about the types of opposition we face in life and about how to endure through it.
