Nehemiah Chapter 9: Lessons on Confession and Renewal


Listen Later

Why do we need God's Law to truly repent? 

We can't turn away from something if we don't know it's wrong. God's Law helps us understand right from wrong so we can recognize our sin, repent, and renew our relationship with Him. 

The Israelites in Nehemiah 9 finally get this when God's Law highlights the uncomfortable truth...they're no different than their ancestors. Their response is beautiful.

Join us as we dive into one of the most powerful prayers in Scripture and walk with the Israelites through their incredible day of repentance. With this masterclass in confession, the Levites show us how to renew our relationship with God using the ACTS model of prayer. 

Themes of this podcast: 

  • Why wearing scratchy sackcloth matters (and what it means for us today)
  • How repentance creates a pathway to relationship with God
  • God's covenant renewals throughout Scripture all point to Jesus

Nehemiah 9 is the last recorded covenant renewal before 400 years of silence. Then Jesus shows up with a New Covenant that He writes on our hearts.
