6 Foundations for transformation
Revisit definition of a disciple
“I will make you” Jesus will transform you.
How does that happen?
Jesus gives us insight:
John 8:31-
More than that, we understand there is a distinct connection between Jesus and God’s word:
John 1:1-
Revelation 19:
Jesus is and is present within the word.
And the living word is transforming
Hebrews 4:
In Today’s Nehemiah passage we see the people ask for, hear, and respond to God’s word.
In fact this day marks a turning point for the people of Israel.
Before this there was a constant turning to idols, from here on out, the people of Jerusalem become known as people of the Book.
We can see 6 foundations for transformation in interaction of God’s people with his word in .
Foundation #1: Attentiveness
Me not calling my mom.
Doesn’t matter what you read or hear if your attention is not in it.
The details matter.
Biblical storytelling
Philippians 3:17-
Foundation #2: Community

Solution?
Individual engaging scripture.
New problem, division.
Foundation #3: Worship
Lifting hands: recognition of need
Bowed to the ground: reverence in recognition of who God is
Foundation #4: Exposition
Neh 8:7

Teachers make certain that God’s word is understood:
Right context, Right understanding, Right call to action
Foundation #5: Celebration
Neh 8:9-
Let it sink in.
Feel what you need to feel.
2 Corinthians 7:10-
Come back to the truth that the “Joy of the Lord is your strength”
Foundation #6: Application
Neh 8:13-
This festival had not been celebrated according to the Word of God in far too long.
As they engaged the word, they felt a need to apply and put into action the truth they learned.
James 1:22-
Poet of the word.
Engage, connect, see how it fits into reality, craft the art work that is your life into the image of the Word.
Going back to where we started, who is the Word?
We see in Jesus the source and fulfillment of the whole word of God to us.
Hebrews 1:1-
And this festival of booths, which they would bring in line with the scripture, would be the first of many.
Not quite 500 years later, six months before he would give his life on the cross, Jesus stood and cried out on the final day of this same festival.
John 7:
It was traditional for the priests to bring water from one of the pools to pour on the altar as a thanksgiving for the rain and harvest of the last year and a prayer for rain in the coming year.
Jesus uses this understanding as a launching point to extend an invitation to both receive transformation and be to be a conduit of the same...
