Reforming the Reformers (Vision Day 2014)

Reforming the Reformers (Vision Day 2014)

Nehemiah 8:1-11

Reformation comes with commitment to understand God’s mind, God’s message, God’s mission and God’s mandates. (The Word)

➣Josiah in 2 Kings 22

➣Ezra and Nehemiah

➣1st Century Church

➣Reformers

The Kingdom is where God’s RULE is witnessed

Universal Church is where God’s NATURE is witnessed

Unity of Believers is where God’s GRACE is witnessed

Transformed communities are where God’s POWER is witnessed

God’s purpose turns us from a:

• Hurried Life
• “Me” centered life
• Powerless life
• Purposeless life

Why were people crying as Ezra read?

• Word put their lives: historical, spiritual, financial, national, cultural, future...into perspective!
