Maximizing God's Word (Neh. ch. 8)

1. You must know what God's Word says (8:1-6).  To know what it says, you must read it.  Do you have a systematic Bible reading plan?
2. You must know what God's Word means (8:7-8,13).  Do you understand what you read?  Have you accurately interpreted the passage?   Do you know what the passage demands from you?  One way to gain better understanding is to take notes of your pastor's sermons.
3. You must know what God's Word requires (8:9-10,14-18).  Where can you put your new insights to work right now?  Meaning without application isn't productive.  Be more than informed.  Be transformed.  Change happens through application.
