Pastor Jack teaches from Nehemiah chapter 8 on how to receive God’s Word with joy rather than condemnation. When the law was read to the restored community, the people wept under guilt—but Nehemiah and Ezra redirected them to rejoice because the Word came to set them free, not condemn them. Pastor Jack emphasizes that God’s truth is given not to crush us with shame, but to lead us into liberty and strength through the joy of the Lord.
