Confession [Nehemiah 9:1-37]


Sermon Discussion Questions
  • Why does it seem, as Ryan described, that the longer we are Christians, the less is the depth of our confession?  What things do you see in your life that inhibit that depth?
  • In this passage, do you find it odd that the people of God spend time worshipping God in their confession?  Why do you suppose they do this?  What of their worship struck you the most?
  • Describe the types of confessions where someone simply feels bad and shameful at their sin versus someone who feels truly and totally brokenhearted over their sin.  What makes these two so different?
  • Why do you suppose the people claim responsibility of their fathers' sins?  What do you make of this?  How does this apply to us?
  • Do you question the safety of confessing to God?  To others?  If you do, why?
