Central to every worship service should be the reading and proclaiming of the Word of God. This part of worship is non-negotiable—we need to be filling ourselves up with more of the Bible.

When we hear Scripture as part of our community worship, we hear what God would say through His servant to comfort, encourage, warn, and rebuke us. And this truly demands our solemn attention.

In Nehemiah chapter eight, we see an example of the Word of God being preached in a worship service.

Ezra, the priest, read the Law of God from daybreak until noon, and the people of God listened attentively. It says that at the end of Ezra's reading, " he praised the Lord, the great God; and all the people lifted their hands and responded, “Amen! Amen!” They then bowed down and worshipped the Lord with their faces to the ground."

Let us also be a people who value God's Word and worship Him when we hear it.
