Chapter: Nehemiah 8 | Verse: Nehemiah 8:5–8
“And Ezra opened the book in the sight of all the people… and when he opened it, all the people stood up.”
— Nehemiah 8:5 LSB
They didn’t sit through the sermon—they stood for hours. No comfy pews. No air conditioning. Just reverence and awe as the Book was read aloud.
Ezra reads from the Law. Levites move through the crowd, explaining what the words mean. The people stand—not because they were told to, but because the weight of God’s Word demanded it.
They didn’t just hear Scripture—they understood it.
That’s the goal of every sermon: clarity, conviction, and change.
Do you approach Scripture with reverence? Do you stand (even if just in your heart) when the Book is opened? This week, slow down and listen—not just to the words, but to what they mean.
This podcast will open the Bible and explain it—just like the Levites did that day. You don’t need a platform. You need the Word—and the Spirit to apply it.
Closing Prayer
God, give me reverence. Let me stand in awe of Your voice, and help me understand what You’ve written.
