Scripture: Nehemiah 12:1-47

1. Why is it such a great sin to not give thanks to God? How do you express your gratitude to Him for all that He has done for you?

2. What role does joy have to play in your witnessing? Is your joy in God evident to the world?

3. How are great sacrifices related to great joy? How are they related in this text? How are they related in your life?
