Give Attention To God’s Word (Nehemiah 8:3) They came to listen & understand Priests & Levites helped Nehemiah 8:7b-8 They did understand Nehemiah 8:12 Bereans Acts 17:11 Thessalonians 1 Thessalonians 2:13 We must give more earnest heed Hebrews 2:1-4 Too important to be ignored Worthy of our attention

Reverence God’s Word (Nehemiah 8:5-6) About perception, not posture Words are God-breathed 2 Timothy 3:16 Word is living & powerful Hebrews 4:12 God’s word is to be glorified 2 Thess. 3:1 No ordinary book. No ordinary message.

Rejoice in God’s Word (Nehemiah 8:9-12) The people told not to mourn, but to rejoice They learned that they were not living right Now they could repent Bible is not designed to condemn, but to save Story of Jesus is the story of hope Jesus came to save John 3:16-18 To set man free from sin & death Romans 6:16-18, 23 Rejoice in the Lord always, and again I say rejoice. Philippians 4:4

Obey God’s Word (Nehemiah 8:13-18) They learned what to do and they did it Is this really our attitude? Would we give up “sacred” tradition? Would we sacrifice self? If you love Me, keep My commandments John 14:15 Let love be without hypocrisy Romans 12:9 God will punish disobedience Jer. 11:3-8, 11, 14 Children of Israel rejoiced for a week!
