Aim: To be undeterred by God's (and the church's) enemies.
Doctrine: Satan and his minions attempt derisive intimidation of Christ's church, which is designed to discourage us and derail our service for Christ.
Exegesis: Uncovering several traits of the devil (and his followers): in their frustration, they lash-out at us (v. 1); in forming alliances, they ridicule us (v. 2); in their insecurity, they would belittle us (v. 3).
Further application: How the church stands firm against the devil's ways: by determining not to budge an inch, but instead to reinforce our hearts (and our work).
Key verse: v. 1 ''But it so happened, when Sanballat heard that we were rebuilding the wall, that he was furious and very indignant, and mocked the Jews.''
