Nehemiah: Here I Stand
Nehemiah and the leaders sign a document saying they will take care of the house of the Lord. We’re in Nehemiah 10 this week.
Big Picture:
It’s a ‘Here We Stand’ moment – three areas of discipline that we need to practice; This is what we believe – This is how we’re going to live.
Key Points:
- How I live (Nehemiah 10.29)
- My worldview will be directed by the things of God.
- My allegiance is to the Lord and His Commandments.
- How can you base your worldview on the Bible when you don’t read it?
- Where I am (Nehemiah 10.31)
- Where I spend my time says a lot about what I prioritize.
- We need people in the church to minister to us.
- What I prioritize (Nehemiah 10.32-33, 39)
- Prioritize stewardship – what we have is from the Lord.
- Find ways to serve your neighbor.
Takeaways:
