Battle Fatigue (3 of 5)
Series: We Are Soldiers
Dr. Jeff Schreve
Nehemiah 4:1-23
A little boy was in church. He was one of those little guys that had kind of some trouble sitting for long periods of time. Do any parents have any kids like that? That's why we have Children's Church. But we're glad to have our kids in here and to do once-a-month big Church for our children. But this little guy was in church, and the sermon was going long. We don't know what that is, but he understood what that was. And the sermon was going long. And the preacher was really getting into it, and he was kind of circling the airport where he's getting ready to land, but he hasn't landed yet. And it's like, ''When is this thing going to be over?'' And this is how he ended his message. He said to the congregation, ''What do you want God to do for you?'' And there was a pause. And then he asked again, ''What do you want God to do for you?'' And a pause, and it was quiet. And he asked a third time a rhetorical question, ''What do you want God to do for you?'' And the little boy couldn't stand it anymore, and he blurted out, ''I want God to let me go home!'' That kid was suffering from sermon fatigue. You people don't know anything about that, but in some churches they have sermon fatigue.
Well, we're in a series called We Are Soldiers, and we're learning about being a good soldier of Christ Jesus. As Paul told Timothy, ''Suffer hardship with me as a good soldier of Christ Jesus.'' And today, we want to talk about Battle Fatigue.
Hey, what do you do when you're in the army of the Lord and when you're fighting the Lord's battles? ''We wrestle not against flesh and blood, Paul said, ''but against the rulers, against the powers, against the world forces of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of wickedness in the heavenly places.'' We're to put on the full armor of God so we can stand firm against the schemes of the devil. But what do you do when you just get weary in the ...
