Me? Series Notes- Nehemiah 8:4

Here are some of my teaching notes from our Me? series last Sunday. The text is Nehemiah 8:4:

After the wall around Jerusalem had been rebuilt, the people gathered to hear Ezra the scribe read from the Book of the Law of Moses. In verse 4, the Bible says Ezra stood on a wooden platform that was "built for the occasion".

That means Nehemiah and the Jews knew the reading of the Law in a public arena was important; they planned in advance to do it.

Here's The Point: Attention should be given to matters of importance. Like the reading of Scripture. Is it important to you and me?
