Worship and the Word

John Wesley once said: "I am a creature of a day. I am a spirit come from God and returning to God. I want to know one thing: the way to heaven. God himself has condescended to teach me the way. He has written it down in a book. Oh, give me that book! At any price give me the book of God. Let me be a man of one book." This hunger for God's words should be the desire of our hearts. What has He said? How can we know Him? How should we respond? Years ago, I learned the joy of getting to know God and hearing Him speak to me through His Word. I want you to do the same. There is nothing better than hearing from God ourselves, learning from Him, and getting to know Him through seeking His words for us in the Scriptures. As we return to Nehemiah (Chapter 8), the people of God gather around to hear the Scriptures read. As God's Word is proclaimed and understood, the people respond in genuine, Spirit-filled worship. As a result, their lives and community change. Today we will see that God's Word is vital for healthy hearts, life, and ministry. We are so glad you are here!
