Rallying Behind the Commander's Intent
Something amazing happens when a group of people gather together, unite behind a common purpose, and achieve a goal. God accomplishes his plans through a wide variety of people surrendering themselves and using their abilities and resources to advance the common goal.

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.
