PSALM 139:14-16
I praise you because I am fearfully and wonderfully made; your works are wonderful, I know that full well. My frame was not hidden from you when I was made in the secret place, when I was woven together in the depths of the earth. Your eyes saw my unformed body; all the days ordained for me were written in your book before one of them came to be.

ROMANS 12:1-2
Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God— this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is—his good, pleasing and perfect will.

SERMON OUTLINE /
NEHEMIAH 8:8-18: PARTY LIKE JOSHUA
How do a people of sorrow become a people of strength?
“The joy of the Lord is your strength.” // Nehemiah 8:12
“You will never understand God until you understand this about him. God is the most joyous being in the universe.”
Dallas Willard
From the days of Joshua son of Nun until that day, the Israelites had not celebrated it like this. And their joy was very great. // Nehemiah 8:17
Party like Joshua …
• Go enjoy // v. 10
• Share some // v. 10
• Be still // v. 11
• Gather outside // v. 16
• Remember why // v. 18
On the last and greatest day of the festival, Jesus stood and said in a loud voice, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me and drink. Whoever believes in me, as Scripture has said, rivers of living water will flow from within them.”
John 7:37-38
