Nehemiah 8:13-18

Nehemiah 9:1-3

They confess THEIR sins.

They confess the sins of their ANCESTORS.

When you confess your sins, you take RESPONSIBILITY.

Confessing the sins of our ancestors is a FOREIGN idea today.

They don’t leave out the PROBLEMS.

If you’re unable to acknowledge your sins or the sins of your ancestors, you’re going to be blind to the sins of TODAY.

We often jump to calling out others sin before dealing with our OWN.

Nehemiah 9:36-37

We are in DISTRESS.
