*Scripture Reading Nehemiah 5:1-13

Usury, and the Sin that Detracts from Gods Agenda

Assisting in Worship:Mr. Bret Allen and Wil Brown.

1. What are the unstated idols in our community of faiththat need confronting, confession, repentance, andcelebration?

2. Nehemiah got full participation from his people, fromthe farmers to the nobles. Together they not only rebuiltthe wall, but they re-formed their society by refashioningtheir financial system. Full participation; all in. Are you allin with the Arise and Build Campaign? If not, why not and

how could you get your concerns addressed?

STUDY QUESTIONS & NOTES


5/8

A question: do we come to worship today with theexpectation of encountering God at some point, ofhearing his voice? We might wonder, will God actually

speak to me? Will there be some challenge from him thatcauses me to make an adjustment in how I live my life?Some of us may not have been in worship for a while,others were here last week. From what I read in Scriptureof various people encountering God, their life andperspective changed when they heard God. We may havebeen in worship hundreds of times or very few times, thepoint is that we are here this morning for the first time.Today has never happened before. God is present; wehave gathered in his name. He is the one who has invitedyou and me into his presence. This is not just anotherSunday. Ordinary and Sunday do not go together.Encounters with God were life-changing in the Bible and

continue to be so today. What will God say to you thismorning? - Dr. Dan Sharp
