Nehemiah and the leaders sign a document saying they will take care of the house of the Lord. We’re in Nehemiah 10 this week.

Big Picture:
It’s a ‘Here We Stand’ moment – three areas of discipline that we need to practice; This is what we believe – This is how we’re going to live.

Key Points:

How I live (Nehemiah 10.29)
- My worldview will be directed by the things of God.
- My allegiance is to the Lord and His Commandments.
- How can you base your worldview on the Bible when you don’t read it?
Where I am (Nehemiah 10.31)
- Where I spend my time says a lot about what I prioritize.
- We need people in the church to minister to us.
What I prioritize (Nehemiah 10.32-33, 39)
- Prioritize stewardship – what we have is from the Lord.
- Find ways to serve your neighbor.

Takeaways:

Accountability is important.
My worldview can’t be influenced by things that I don’t spend time in.

Questions:
How are you doing in these areas?

How are you living?
- What drives what comes out of your mouth?
- What drives your decisions?
- Is it an overwhelming conviction that God’s Word is true?

- Or have you alienated yourself from people who can challenge, encourage, hold you up and help you be who you are in Christ?
What are your priorities?
- Are you prioritizing generosity?
- Can you back up what you say you are with how you really live?
