Nehemiah Chapter 7 and 8

Nehemiah chapters 7 & 8

"This day is holy" if the word of God is not filling you with joy but condemnation, there is a problem, the word of God should fill you with joy.  The joy of the Lord is your strength.

The tabernacle of the Lord today is us, (the booth, the temple); make sure your temple is clean  because God and us live in there, and it needs to be free from sin.

In Nehemiah Chapter 8 -The public safety of everyone depended on each one taking care of each of their families.  The heads of families should bring their families and take them to public worship.
An example of this is from "Faith like potatoes" where Angus brought his whole family out to front of the church.

Parents are responsible for their own  children.  Preachers to teach from the Word of God, not the local newspaper.

Part of honouring God is reading and expounding the Word as well as Baptism,
and Communion.

Be a living stone!

Being a  Christian is not "I give my life and I walk how I want".  Being a Christian is a daily walk, each and every day.  God prefers a sacrifice of a broken heart not the sacrifices of animals and traditions.

The better we understand God's Word the more prosperous we will be, we can't help others unless we learn.  If you want to learn how to live in relationship with God then read the Bible.  Its important that our tabernacle is structured God's way.

Reference also Zech 14

How does the world get to know message? From the feet of those who bring Good News.  'Those' are Gods people who learn in worship reading the Word and expounding so we learn.

A hard heart can turn us away from God.  Be careful when we see a brother struggling, help them to find joy in the Holy Spirit.  When God's word is active in our life it will bring great joy.  Don't live on  circumstances.  Now is the day for you to live.  God will provide.
Worship - great commandment, love the Lord your God with all your heart, soul, mind and strength.  Our First priority is to give God priority.  The right way to worship is to make your tabernacle, temple ready for God; fit and ready to worship God.

Where do we find Encouragement and Strength in our lives?

This week Ps Phyllis shared with us on "Where do we find Encouragement and Strength in our lives?" Ps Phyllis shared with us some of the story of Captain Charles Sturt who discovered the Murray River (ref:page 51 Australia's Christian Heritage) Winston Churchill said: "Never, never, never, never give up." What encourages you? Checklist of an encourager: 1 Thessalonians 5:11-23  Build each other up - point out a good quality in them 1 Thessalonians 5:12  Respect leaders - look for ways to cooperate 1Thessalonians 5:13  Live in peace - search for ways to get along with others.  Don't get offended by their behaviour.  Give it to the Lord. 1 Thessalonians 5:14  Warn the idle - challenge someone to join you in a project or ministry 1 Thessalonians 5:14 Help the weak - support those who are weak by loving and praying for them 1 Thessalonians 5:14  Be patient - plan ahead by praying and listening to the Lord when you know of a situation coming up s

The Voice of Experience

Bible readings from Sunday 16th January Message: Acts 17:26-27 Galations 6:7 Genesis Chapter 1:1 Eccelesiates Chapter 3 Romans 2:14-15 Ecclesiates 2:18 1 Corinthians chapter 13 Matthew 5:1-12 10 Commandments - Exodus chapter 20:1-17 We want the world to be fair, but it isn't.  Our view of what is fair may be different from another's view of what is fair.  People deny the existence of God, but that does not mean God does not exist.  Walk through Israel and surrounding areas to see historical evidence.  Look at creation.  Genesis chapter one verse 1 says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." We don't know from one day to the next what will happen but God is our constant.  We are not here to build "castles" but to proclaim the Message and when we're done we take the Father's hand and go home. The following story shows us the voice of experience - we can learn a lot from a child's perspective... Sandcastles by
