Every Wednesday morning from 9 to 11, I attend our senior pastor’s meeting. In this meeting we discuss the message that would be delivered on Sunday. I enjoy this meeting because I get to interact, get impartation and wisdom from 14 other guys who are more experienced, seasoned and far better than me.

During Nehemiah’s time when the Scripture was preached it was prepared and executed in teams.
¶ Ezra opened the book. All the people could see him because he was standing above them; and as he opened it, the people all stood up. Nehemiah 8:5
The Levites — Jeshua, Bani, Sherebiah, Jamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Jozabad, Hanan and Pelaiah — instructed the people in the Law while the people were standing there. Nehemiah 8:7
They read from the Book of the Law of God, making it clear and giving the meaning so that the people could understand what was being read. Nehemiah 8:8
It goes to show that the more minds – the manier (revelations, truth, illustrations, stories, insights, depth)
