(A little bit of and )

After completion of the walls and gates of Jerusalem

52 days

Ezra (Week 1 of the series)

A priest

Brings out the Pentateuch (First FIVE books of the OT)

40,000-50,000 people in attendance

All the people Gathered to learn and listen

In other words they Gathered together to Grow and Go live it out in there culture. (Sound familiar)

They participated in a form of corporate worship

Attentively

People wept

Guilt came upon them as they realized how they had separated themselves from the one true God there savior.

For the Joy of the Lord is my strength

Instructed to to GO eat, drink, and celebrate

Sound familiar (Dinner Groups)

God Delights in YOU and rejoices over YOU!

After the people had ate and celebrated

Joy of the Lord is my Strength

Hebrew word Ma-oz

They returned the next day for more

They were challenged to start back up old Feasts to help remember God’s promises for them.

Appears 34 times in the Old Testament

This kept them full of Joy

Mountain stronghold, place of refuge, fortress

When we REMEMBER God’s Promises it is impossible for JOY to not take over our thoughts.

Why: His strength conquers all (No matter what obstacle or fear stands in your way)

Through there time Gathering together they began to be REBUILT and RENEWED.

This is what happens when we take time to be in God’s presence

There our identity begin to be RESHAPED back to its original purpose.

They REMEMBERED not who they were but WHOSE they were

Sons and Daughters of the ONE TRUE GOD

and

People continue to prioritize Gathering together to RESPOND to all of what they were learning.

They consistently sit aside time to do so

The take time to fast, praise God, confess their sins to God, and asking for favor from God.

They conclude there time by COMMITTING there lives moving forward to remaining faithful to the one true God.

Chapter 10 is literally a list of all who signed and sealed this commitment.

His STRENGTH conquers all

Do you believe it? Is your life and thoughts showing that right now in your life?

Will you commit to Gathering on a daily basis with God?

Will you commit to growing and beginning to live out what you are learning inside of those times.
