Nehemiah Ch 11-12 II MARKING THE MOMENT WITH PRAISE
Nehemiah 12
43 And they offered great sacrifices that day and rejoiced, for God had made them rejoice with great joy; the women and children also rejoiced. And the joy of Jerusalem was heard far away.
Nehemiah 10 || Part 3ii - Is it riches we seek?
God needs to be the centre of our life. Without Him we are nothing but we can be asured that he is constant.
Your heavenly father knows what you need!
Nehemiah 10 || Part 3 - Giving Commitment
A look at the words of Nehemiah 10, on the responsibility and joy of giving within the covenant for the Church.
Nehemiah 10 || Part 2 - Sabbath Commitment
The second commitment in the faith God’s people made was to the Sabbath. They committed to:
not purchase anything from foreign traders
let farm fields lie fallow to rest them
forgetting their debtors (every 50 years)
Why did God create the sabbath and what does it mean for us? Ps Matt takes us through this important commitment.
