Sukkot, Nehemiah, and Being Outdoors

Today was the last regular day of Sukkot (Tabernacles or Booths). We took down our tent and our Sukkah (booth) and came home. Now, I have tons to do before sundown when Shemini Atzeret starts, the 8th day, which is also a Sabbath (Yom Tov).

So, not wanting to leave you with nothing to read here on Messianic Jewish Musings, I’m doing what I sometimes do when I am pressed for time: I’m posting a sermon. I delivered this sermon Saturday morning at Stone Mountain Park where many of us camp together for the Feast. We had live music, dancing, a campfire, food, and rejoicing.

The message is tailored, of course, to my congregational audience, but I think other readers will get some thoughts worth thinking from it.
