Turn to Nehemiah Chapter 13 and Malachai Chapter 3.

Now let me tell you while you're turning, Nehemiah 13 is where we'll start

and then we'll get over to Malachai 3.

So put a marker at Malachai 3.

Let me tell you how we got to Nehemai 13.

We've gone through the first few chapters, we've talked about the gates and the walls,

Pastor Marcus preached one on repairing the walls. We've talked through all of that.

Last week we were in chapters 2, 4, and 6. We've been in chapters 8 and 9 and let me tell you a little bit about chapters 10 11 and 12 how come

we got from chapter 9 to chapter 13. 10 11 and 12 are genealogies it's there lists of people who helped building the wall and all of them

have horrible names.

All of them do.

So we're not going to talk about it all right, but you can meet them in heaven and probably be able to

pronunciate it when you get there. So chapter 13 is the last chapter in Nehemiah.

And there are three things that Nehemiah

re-implements in the people of God in these chapters.

We'll spend these three weeks, this week and two after this, talking about the three things

that he re-implemented in the people of God and what we need in the church, all right?

So we'll talk about the first one.

The first one is blessing is part of his plan.

For your life, God's master plan for your life, blessing is part of his plan.

That's good news by the way, isn't it? Okay.

Nehem I 13 verse 1.
