Sermon Text: Neh. 8:1-18

I. God’s people cannot truly live without the reading of the Law (i.e., the Word of God). (Neh. 8:1-6)

A. We should require the teaching of the Word.

B. We should require that the Word be obeyed.

Because we forget.

Second, because younger people who may not have heard from quality

teachers of the Law, needed to hear.

Third, the Word of God is used by God to bring fear of Him into the hearts of

men.

Fourth, sinful men and women do not want to have their sins pointed out to

them, yet they desperately need to be convinced of their sinfulness.

C. We, as God’s people, should remain unified.

II. God’s people cannot truly live without repentance. (Neh. 8:9)

III. God’s people require constant revival if they are to truly live. (Neh. 8:10-18; 9:1-10:39)

IV. God’s people require restoration when they have fallen away from following Him. (Neh. 8:17)

V. God’s people rejoice in the Word and work of God when they repent. (Neh. 8:10-10:39)
