Feeding and Tending Jesus' Flock
We are children of God, no longer orphans in this world without Him. We are also His ambassadors in this world as His sent people. Jesus draws us to Himself so that we can have and live by the love of the Father, then Jesus sends us into the world as His missional people. In fact, when you read Jesus’ words in John chapter 20, you begin to see what He had in mind...

A God Worth Waiting For
Was it worth it? Were the radical sacrifices made by God's people throughout Scripture worth it? When we glimpse the glory of God, we see that all of our suffering, as great as it might be, is not worthy to be compared to the beauty of the glory of God revealed in the face of our Savior Jesus Christ.

How Do We Respond To Trials and What Does That Say About What We Believe About God?
What we believe about God is best demonstrated in the midst of trials. In fact, how we respond to trials reveals to the world what we believe about God.

The God of the Nevertheless
Today, we, like the Israelites, often lose sight of God and are not mindful of the wonders he has performed for his people through the sacrifice of his only Son, Jesus. However, God has not changed. He is from everlasting to everlasting and he is the God of the nevertheless. Whatever sin, whatever failure, however awful, his grace is greater. He is the God who sent his only Son to die so that he could save sinners, and now he calls us all to look upon him and find forgiveness for our sins.

Partying that Provokes
The reason we struggle so mightily with joy and celebration is because we have forgotten. We have forgotten what God is like. We have forgotten how good He is. We have forgotten how merciful He is. We have forgotten how He’s rescued us. We have forgotten that He is a God of great joy. We have forgotten that He loves to be with us. We have forgotten that we are grafted into this family: we are children of Abraham because we believe in Christ and we are to pick up His same heart of celebration and rejoicing.

From Tears to Rejoicing: Responding to the Word of God
As we study Nehemiah 8 we will take time to consider what it is about God that is able to move his people, the Israelites, from weeping to rejoicing and feasting. It is our goal that the God they saw would be the God you would see as you ponder Him in His word and that you too, would find yourself overwhelmed with joy and moved to celebrate our great God.

Giving and Grace
The Law no longer condemns us and it no longer curses us. Instead the law has become the way we learn what it looks like to be fully human. It is now nothing to fear, but something we learn of so that we might follow Jesus in response to His grace. The Spirit now shows you how Jesus lived up to the law instead of condemning you and convicting you in all the ways you’ve failed to live up. When you fail, you’re failing to live like who you truly are in Jesus. You’re already seen by the Father as keeping the law, there’s no need to use it to get His favor.

Participation and Progress
God has always intended that His people would so love Him, so trust Him, and so respond to His grace that they would show Him off to each other and this world. They’re to be a display people, a people that tell the world what He’s like by living in such a way that provokes questions and curiosity about the God they love and are loved by. This is what the book of Nehemiah is about. This is the real mission of Nehemiah. This is the real work of God. He wants to revive and restore what has been destroyed by doubt, fear, hopelessness, apathy, and injustice so that the world would know He’s a God who rebuilds what Adam and Eve and you and I have torn down.

Missing the Glory of God in Our Midst
In Nehemiah, the nobles of Jerusalem chose to cling to the comfort and safety of their political alliances and missed the glory of God which stood so clearly in their midst. They feared the glory of God because they knew that to see it would cause them to fall greatly in their own esteem. However, by missing out on the glory of God, the nobles foolishly traded their own eternal joy for what seemed to be an economically wise relationship at the time. Today, we too have the opportunity to see the glory of God and experience the amazing joy that comes as we fall in our own esteem and yet realize that the God of the universe is for us. He is our advocate, our savior, our refuge, our creator, and our friend; and beholding his glory can fill our lives with joy, truth, meaning, and purpose. We must be vigilant not to make the same mistake as the nobles of Jerusalem and trade his glory for lesser things.
