| 0:00.0 | The Bible teaches that whenever we set out to do God's work, God's way, we should be ready |
| 0:29.6 | to face doubters from within. Today on Truth for Life, we'll find out why and learn how to be |
| 0:35.9 | prepared with a response. Alistair Begg is teaching from Nehemiah chapter 2, looking at verses 11 through |
| 0:43.6 | 20. He said his relaxation and he's now completed this investigation or examination and he is now |
| 0:59.0 | at the point of exhortation. Then I said to them verse 17, you see the trouble we are in. Now pause |
| 1:06.4 | there for a moment because the fact of the matter is they didn't. The people who had taken the night |
| 1:12.7 | journey with them had seen nothing new. They just saw what they'd seen before. Greg's Harrison |
| 1:20.2 | sings, I've grown accustomed to your face where you know the girl whatever her name was and these |

| 1:57.8 | wrong with this room? I'll tell you what's wrong. You've grown accustomed to disgrace. You've |
| 2:03.9 | grown accustomed to disgrace and that's what it happened to these dear people. They were planning |
| 2:08.9 | flowers in the broken down walls. They were having picnics on the site and now Hemiah comes around |
| 2:13.9 | says we are a major problem here. The interesting thing is he didn't just say you've got a problem. |
| 2:19.2 | He said we've got a problem and not only do we have a problem but I've got a solution |
| 2:24.3 | under God and that's the real test of leadership. Now if you think for a moment that this was an |
| 2:29.9 | easy challenge facing Hemiah or if I think that I'm really at odds with the understanding of it |
| 2:36.7 | because Hemiah was confronted by insurmountable odds. Can you begin to imagine how big these |
| 2:44.3 | stones were that the wall was built with? Have you ever been to Jerusalem and seen the foundations |
