Covenant Keepers: Living What We Signed
đź“–PRIMARY TEXT:
Nehemiah 10:28–39
This is where the people sign the covenant — and then commit to living it.
🌟 SERMON BIG IDEA
Confession reconnects us.
Remembering strengthens us.
But covenant changes us.
God doesn’t just want us to sign the covenant — He wants us to live the covenant.
The blessing is in the obedience.
The transformation is in the follow‑through.
🔥 MAIN POINTS
1. A Covenant Requires Commitment, Not Convenience

They signed it together.

Sustaining the work of God
