Read Nehemiah 8.
- When has God’s Word particularly impacted or helped you in a powerful way?
- Why do we need to understand the Word in order for it to be effective?
- How did the people respond after the Levites read, taught, and explained the Word? Why did they respond that way?
- When someone mourns or grieves, it is usually over the loss of something. What did the Israelites realize they lost when they heard God’s Word?
- Describe a time when you have experienced conviction and grief from a truth you read in Scripture.
- What keeps us from repenting when we should?
- After the people mourned, what did Nehemiah instruct them to do? Why?
- How did the people celebrate because they heard God’s Word and understood it? How can we celebrate the impact of the Word on our lives?
