Sunday Connect Lesson for June 25, 2023

BACK TO THE WORD
The events of the book of Nehemiah took place just after those of the book of Ezra (445 BC-431 BC) with Nehemiah arriving in Jerusalem in 444 BC, 13 years after Ezra arrived.

Study The Word: God's Word is powerful and will change our lives if we invite and allow it to.

Key Truth: God's people gather for corporate worship and in smaller groups to hear, learn, and apply God's Word (Nehemiah 8:1-15).  In Nehemiah's day, and in ours, God's Word should be revered, taught, and studied.  In large and small groups, people sought to understand it better, and their lives were blessed because of it.

Key Truth: Christian parents read God's Word for themselves and help their children learn, understand, and obey it daily (Nehemiah 8:16-18; Deuteronomy 6:4-9).  Sharing God's Word with our families is both a responsibility and a privilege.  It should be a natural and intentional part of family life.
