A DEDICATION CELEBRATION NEHEMIAH 12:27-47

How much thought do we give to our gathering together as a people to worship God?

God uses several illustrations to describe His people and one of them is a building. We are the temple of God and a spiritual house that is being built up of individual stones.

This is a good illustration to describe our worship also. We are called to worship God together and give thanks for what God has done for us. We are to dedicate ourselves as a spiritual people, a church, to His work by giving thanks, praising Him, and giving testimony of His goodness to others who hear us.

Tonight we are going to take a look at a dedication celebration that the people had as they gathered together to worship God and thank Him for the success they had seen.
