Summary
The wall was finished, but the battle wasn’t over. Even after the work was done, Nehemiah faced ongoing opposition. This message from Pastor Nate Heitzig reminds us that completing a task or completing the rebuilding process doesn’t mean the fight is over—spiritual resistance often continues. Stay watchful, stay faithful.
I. The Wall Was Finished, but the Work Wasn’t Over
II. The Enemy Was Intimidated, but Not Repentant
III. The Victory Was Visible, but the Attacks Became Subtle
Talk with God: Meditate on Romans 8:31-39 and spend time in worship as you are reminded that “God is for [you].”
Talk with others: Ask your Connect Group or believing friends and family members how you can support them in their walk this week.
Talk with kids: Why can we always trust God?

| 1:03.3 | finished, but still fighting. Let me ask you a question. Have you ever hit a major milestone in your life? I mean something |
| 1:12.3 | huge, something you had been working on, praying for for a long time that finally happened. |
| 1:18.6 | Maybe you finally beat that addiction to that one sin that you had been struggling with, finished |
| 1:24.1 | a big project, built a business, repaired a relationship, made it through a hard |
| 1:29.6 | season, only to realize that you're still under attack. |
| 1:33.3 | And we never had that happen in your life when you're like, man, this one big thing, |

| 1:44.1 | And I thought everything would be |
| 1:45.5 | hunky dory once I made it through that battle, but I'm still being attacked. You know, many Christians |
| 1:51.5 | have the mistaken idea that once they make a commitment to Jesus Christ and seek to walk in the |
| 1:58.0 | center of his will, that they're in for smooth sailing from that point on. |
