1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,500
You're welcome. 
We're here. 

2
00:00:06,900 --> 00:00:08,800
In the final part of second 
Samuel. 

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,900
But if chapter 6 of second 
Samuel, we've been in this 

4
00:00:11,900 --> 00:00:15,900
chapter for three weeks in a 
row, including this week. 

5
00:00:16,200 --> 00:00:20,100
And so meet me in second Samuel,
chapter 6 in your Bibles, And 

6
00:00:20,100 --> 00:00:24,400
where we will. 
Where we will start. 

7
00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:30,200
As in verse 16, second Samuel, 
chapter 6, verse 16. 

8
00:00:30,600 --> 00:00:32,800
And as you know, we've been 
doing this lately and it's been 

9
00:00:32,800 --> 00:00:34,300
edifying. 
I hope it's been a defying to 

10
00:00:34,308 --> 00:00:36,400
me. 
Want to read this section. 

11
00:00:36,400 --> 00:00:39,600
You're going to follow with me. 
And once I conclude, you will 

12
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:44,100
raise your hand and make some 
observations that you think are 

13
00:00:44,100 --> 00:00:48,100
important with the questions, 
the reflective questions that 

14
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:51,500
help us in any context to have a
deeper understanding of the word

15
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:53,000
of God. 
Are you with me? 

16
00:00:53,700 --> 00:00:56,500
6:13. 
Excuse me. 

17
00:00:56,500 --> 00:01:01,800
Verse 16. 
We read here as the Ark of the 

18
00:01:01,800 --> 00:01:05,099
Lord came into the city of David
Michal. 

19
00:01:05,099 --> 00:01:08,700
The daughter of Saul looked out 
of the window and saw King, 

20
00:01:08,700 --> 00:01:13,000
David, leaping and dancing 
before the Lord, and she 

21
00:01:13,000 --> 00:01:17,900
despised him in her heart and 
they brought in the ark of the 

22
00:01:17,900 --> 00:01:21,800
Lord and set it in its place. 
Inside the tent that David had 

23
00:01:21,800 --> 00:01:26,100
pitched for it, and David 
offered, burnt offerings and 

24
00:01:26,100 --> 00:01:30,300
peace offerings before the Lord.
And when David had finished, 

25
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:33,200
offering the burnt offerings and
the peace offerings. 

26
00:01:33,500 --> 00:01:37,500
He blessed the people in the 
name of the Lord of hosts and 

27
00:01:37,500 --> 00:01:40,500
distributed among all the 
people, the whole multitude of 

28
00:01:40,500 --> 00:01:45,400
Israel, both men and women, a 
cake of bread, a portion of meat

29
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,000
and a cake of raisins to each 
one. 

30
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:52,900
Then all the people departed 
each to his house and David 

31
00:01:52,900 --> 00:01:57,000
returned to bless his household.
But Michal the daughter of Saul 

32
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:01,200
came out to meet David and said 
How the king of Israel honored 

33
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:05,900
himself today uncovering himself
today before the eyes of his 

34
00:02:05,900 --> 00:02:11,500
servants female service. 
As one of the vulgar velos, 

35
00:02:11,500 --> 00:02:15,800
shamelessly uncovers himself, 
and David said to me Hall, it 

36
00:02:15,800 --> 00:02:20,000
was before the Lord who chose me
above your father and above all 

37
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:23,700
his house to appoint me as 
Prince over Israel. 

38
00:02:23,900 --> 00:02:27,700
The people of the Lord and I 
will celebrate before the Lord, 

39
00:02:28,100 --> 00:02:31,300
I will make myself yet more 
contemptible than this. 

40
00:02:31,300 --> 00:02:35,500
And I will be a based in your 
eyes, but by the female Servants

41
00:02:35,500 --> 00:02:38,800
of whom you have spoken by them,
I shall be held in honor. 

42
00:02:40,200 --> 00:02:45,000
Anyhow the daughter of Saul had 
no child to the day of her 

43
00:02:45,300 --> 00:02:48,200
death. 
Lord, we ask that you open our 

44
00:02:48,200 --> 00:02:51,100
eyes to this text help us 
sharpen. 

45
00:02:51,100 --> 00:02:55,400
One another help us leave here 
with our our affections warmed 

46
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,400
in our hearts, enlarged to love 
you. 

47
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,100
The way you deserve in Jesus 
name we pray. 

48
00:03:01,600 --> 00:03:05,200
Amen. 
Any observations, interesting 

49
00:03:05,200 --> 00:03:08,200
conclusion to this story. 
Anything that sticks out to you,

50
00:03:08,200 --> 00:03:10,200
anything that you think is 
valuable in terms of or maybe 

51
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:12,500
even a question that maybe might
answer later on. 

52
00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,900
Yes. 
Yeah, the macaws resentment 

53
00:03:18,900 --> 00:03:21,500
jealousy, that seems to stand 
out from this section of 

54
00:03:21,500 --> 00:03:23,800
scripture and has a lot to tell 
us. 

55
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:33,000
Yes, anything else. 
Yes. 

56
00:03:44,000 --> 00:04:06,100
Mmm. 
She's it, could it be? 

57
00:04:06,200 --> 00:04:09,400
What brother gorky's is saying? 
Because could it be that the 

58
00:04:09,800 --> 00:04:13,500
verbalization of her resentment,
it's due to the fact that she is

59
00:04:13,500 --> 00:04:16,500
just one of many wives and all 
these other wives, as we read in

60
00:04:16,500 --> 00:04:19,399
the past have had children. 
But he, or she is not given 

61
00:04:19,399 --> 00:04:24,000
children, perhaps, maybe David 
is withholding children from 

62
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,200
her, that's a possible 
interpretation. 

63
00:04:26,300 --> 00:04:30,400
What would Eat a reason for 
David not to have children with 

64
00:04:30,800 --> 00:04:36,600
McHale any idea. 
She is the what? 

65
00:04:39,800 --> 00:04:44,800
Yeah, so saw gave her to David 
as a wife, which means what 

66
00:04:47,300 --> 00:04:50,600
Succession line. 
So if she has a child with me, 

67
00:04:50,600 --> 00:04:54,900
Hal then that can potentially 
cause issues in the future of 

68
00:04:54,900 --> 00:04:58,100
their being division within the 
kingdom, because we saw what 

69
00:04:58,100 --> 00:05:01,200
happened with ishka Seth, right?
So, maybe David is thinking 

70
00:05:01,200 --> 00:05:03,800
strategically, as cruel as it is
to say, I'm not going to give 

71
00:05:03,800 --> 00:05:07,000
her my children because then we 
can have issues going down the 

72
00:05:07,008 --> 00:05:10,700
line where her children can say.
Well, we come from Saul and Saul

73
00:05:10,700 --> 00:05:13,500
is the one who deserves the 
throne and there can be some the

74
00:05:13,500 --> 00:05:15,200
conceived, be some problems in 
the future. 

75
00:05:15,600 --> 00:05:16,900
That could be a possible 
interpretation. 

76
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:30,800
Anything else? 
Yes. 

77
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:38,700
So that last first a majority 
would say this is God's judgment

78
00:05:38,700 --> 00:05:40,700
and divine intervention. 
Some would say this is David 

79
00:05:40,700 --> 00:05:44,500
actually pulling back from her. 
So there's debate around that 

80
00:05:44,900 --> 00:05:48,900
but the popular vote is that it 
was the Lord who had closed her 

81
00:05:48,900 --> 00:05:50,800
womb though. 
It doesn't explicitly say that 

82
00:05:50,900 --> 00:05:52,300
but that's a good observation as
well. 

83
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:59,400
Yes, very good. 
Isn't that interesting? 

84
00:06:00,100 --> 00:06:05,300
Why is she at home? 
When the entire nation is out at

85
00:06:05,300 --> 00:06:07,000
the parade? 
The national prayed for the 

86
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,600
presence of God coming into the 
political capital of Israel. 

87
00:06:10,600 --> 00:06:13,300
That's a very good observation. 
Yes. 

88
00:06:27,800 --> 00:06:30,900
Very good observation, David 
confess, and there's a 

89
00:06:30,907 --> 00:06:35,400
repetition of David doing what 
he was doing before the Lord. 

90
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,800
God knew that David knew that 
people with discernment would 

91
00:06:38,800 --> 00:06:42,000
have known that, but people who 
lack spiritual discernment. 

92
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:45,200
Like, his wife could not 
perceive that and then because 

93
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,500
of that had to judge of ulterior
motives, right? 

94
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:50,300
Yes, King. 
And then Tim god-king. 

95
00:06:59,900 --> 00:07:13,200
Yes. 
Amen. 

96
00:07:15,300 --> 00:07:16,900
We're going to talk about 
dancing tonight. 

97
00:07:17,700 --> 00:07:19,500
So I'm glad you brought that up,
he has to him. 

98
00:07:44,600 --> 00:08:15,200
Yeah. 
So you kind of say what brother 

99
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:17,500
Giza saying, there's like 
there's deeper issues here and 

100
00:08:17,500 --> 00:08:20,500
this is just the fruit of a root
issue of. 

101
00:08:20,500 --> 00:08:24,400
Maybe remember what happened to 
me, Hal after David was exiled, 

102
00:08:24,500 --> 00:08:26,300
did she end up getting married 
to somebody else? 

103
00:08:26,600 --> 00:08:29,400
And what did David do when he 
became a ruler? 

104
00:08:30,300 --> 00:08:35,500
You're my wife come here and so 
she removed him, removed her 

105
00:08:35,500 --> 00:08:38,700
from her other husband, right? 
Could that play into it? 

106
00:08:38,700 --> 00:08:40,100
I mean these are great 
observation. 

107
00:08:40,100 --> 00:08:42,000
Someone had their hand up here. 
Yes. 

108
00:08:47,300 --> 00:08:50,300
Yes. 
Yes, absolutely. 

109
00:08:50,300 --> 00:08:54,000
So it makes you wonder, where is
this Outburst coming from? 

110
00:08:54,100 --> 00:08:57,600
Is it is it surface level? 
Or is there a deeper thinking 

111
00:08:57,600 --> 00:09:00,400
here, maybe a couple more and 
then we'll move on? 

112
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:01,900
It's for the sake of time. 
Yes. 

113
00:09:13,700 --> 00:09:18,300
So, he fed the entire nation. 
He fed the entire nation, which 

114
00:09:18,300 --> 00:09:21,300
is pretty significant. 
Who did we relate David to, in 

115
00:09:21,300 --> 00:09:24,300
our last study Jesus? 
Yes. 

116
00:09:24,300 --> 00:09:27,500
But who specifically in light of
Jesus? 

117
00:09:27,500 --> 00:09:31,500
But a specific Ministry of Jesus
Melchizedek, right? 

118
00:09:31,500 --> 00:09:34,100
The priesthood of Melchizedek 
and we went back to Genesis to 

119
00:09:34,100 --> 00:09:38,700
show, how Melchizedek was the 
king of Salem where Salem 

120
00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:40,600
Jerusalem. 
Right. 

121
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:45,600
Here's David, who is acting As a
priest and King of the newly 

122
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:47,600
established capital of Israel 
Jerusalem. 

123
00:09:47,700 --> 00:09:51,800
But do you remember what else 
Melchizedek did to Abraham? 

124
00:09:53,200 --> 00:09:57,900
Did he give him something? 
He gave Abraham Bread and Wine 

125
00:09:58,200 --> 00:10:01,900
and then he blessed Abraham and 
we kind of see a parallel 

126
00:10:02,100 --> 00:10:05,500
activity here, right? 
We see David also blessing the 

127
00:10:05,500 --> 00:10:08,100
nation and giving them food to 
eat. 

128
00:10:08,300 --> 00:10:12,900
So it's very it's a very strong 
mirroring of what Melchizedek 

129
00:10:13,300 --> 00:10:15,500
did and we're given little 
information about him, so it's a

130
00:10:15,508 --> 00:10:17,500
very strong strong connection, 
okay? 

131
00:10:17,500 --> 00:10:19,000
Maybe one more and then we'll 
move on here. 

132
00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:27,500
Yes. 
Yeah. 

133
00:10:27,500 --> 00:10:30,000
So he's on his way to bless his 
household and me how comes out 

134
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:34,600
to meet him and you can tell she
was not very supportive. 

135
00:10:35,200 --> 00:10:37,900
We're going to find out why. 
But here's what's happening in 

136
00:10:37,900 --> 00:10:40,500
our text tonight. 
The mission of the Ark of the 

137
00:10:40,500 --> 00:10:44,600
Covenant coming into its 
rightful place has now reached 

138
00:10:44,600 --> 00:10:49,400
is its long-awaited finale, and 
we have hopefully learned a lot 

139
00:10:49,400 --> 00:10:52,800
of things up to this point. 
This one chapter, some things 

140
00:10:52,800 --> 00:10:55,200
were reminders for us. 
Other things were fresh 

141
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:59,700
practical and prophetic insight.
But if there is one theme among 

142
00:10:59,700 --> 00:11:05,900
many that really connects to our
text from verse one down to the 

143
00:11:05,900 --> 00:11:09,500
last verse, I believe it's not 
difficult to see that the 

144
00:11:09,600 --> 00:11:13,600
subject matter of worship is 
very dominant worship 

145
00:11:13,700 --> 00:11:16,400
appropriate. 
Worship inappropriate, worship, 

146
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,900
what pleases God, what doesn't 
please God and that theme is 

147
00:11:19,900 --> 00:11:24,000
going to continue to weave 
itself in the final moments of 

148
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:27,300
this snapshot of David's life 
and Ministry. 

149
00:11:27,700 --> 00:11:32,900
Worship worship. 
And when you see the stacks, and

150
00:11:32,900 --> 00:11:36,400
you consider the, the series of 
events, very in a very short 

151
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:39,500
period of time, we see David 
worshipping and the larger 

152
00:11:39,500 --> 00:11:41,500
context you can say with the 
people of God, with the 

153
00:11:41,500 --> 00:11:44,600
congregation of God. 
And when we see that his worship

154
00:11:44,600 --> 00:11:48,500
will only continue to smaller 
spheres, more intimate spheres 

155
00:11:48,500 --> 00:11:51,500
in his life which is important 
because that's a, that's a 

156
00:11:51,500 --> 00:11:53,600
principle. 
What true worship is. 

157
00:11:54,100 --> 00:11:56,800
So as you and I come to these 
last versus, we're going to see 

158
00:11:56,800 --> 00:12:00,500
that this is not an exhaustive 
study about what worship is. 

159
00:12:00,500 --> 00:12:03,300
But it's an Horton element to 
what worship is. 

160
00:12:03,300 --> 00:12:07,600
It's a, it's an instructional 
section of scripture one. 

161
00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,300
That provides illustration an 
example because you and I have 

162
00:12:11,300 --> 00:12:14,700
been created in the image of God
as the Pinnacle of God's 

163
00:12:14,700 --> 00:12:19,400
creation to do one specific 
thing and that's to worship. 

164
00:12:19,400 --> 00:12:23,000
We've been created to worship 
and when we step outside of that

165
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:25,800
order things go out of order in 
our lives. 

166
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:29,900
And so we have this High called 
this primary call to do what to 

167
00:12:31,100 --> 00:12:35,000
and accurately who God is what 
he's done to affirm that truth 

168
00:12:35,000 --> 00:12:38,100
with adoration within us. 
And then from that place 

169
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,600
outwardly through various means 
of expression to a to honor God 

170
00:12:42,600 --> 00:12:47,100
and to show him through worship 
that we do in fact, believe who 

171
00:12:47,100 --> 00:12:51,700
he is and a tribute to him all 
the glory that he deserves. 

172
00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:56,300
So let's look at these verses 
and consider some instructions. 

173
00:12:56,300 --> 00:13:00,000
Some ingredients about worship, 
true worship false worship, 

174
00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:01,900
controversial, aspects of 
worship. 

175
00:13:03,100 --> 00:13:06,900
Verse 16 as the Ark of the Lord 
came into the city of David 

176
00:13:06,900 --> 00:13:09,200
Michal, the daughter of Saul 
looked out of the window and saw

177
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:13,100
David King, David, leaping and 
dancing before the Lord and she 

178
00:13:13,100 --> 00:13:17,600
despised him in her heart. 
I wonder what that look like. 

179
00:13:18,800 --> 00:13:21,900
King David on the streets of 
Jerusalem, and leaping, and 

180
00:13:21,900 --> 00:13:25,800
dancing and twirling for the 
glory of God. 

181
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:33,800
And that Portrait of a man doing
such a thing has been a subject 

182
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:38,400
of much debate and people have 
strong feelings on either side 

183
00:13:38,900 --> 00:13:42,100
of what David is doing here. 
So you have some people who will

184
00:13:42,100 --> 00:13:51,200
say the idea of dancing. 
As act of worship, is totally 

185
00:13:51,200 --> 00:13:54,500
unrelated to the New Covenant 
Church just as much as offering 

186
00:13:54,500 --> 00:13:58,500
animal sacrifices is. 
And so the argument goes that 

187
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:02,900
Dancing for the Lord and unto 
the Lord is in the same category

188
00:14:02,900 --> 00:14:08,400
of cessation as giving Bulls on 
an altar and burning it up in 

189
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:10,900
the name of praise and adoration
Thanksgiving or a guilt 

190
00:14:10,900 --> 00:14:12,100
offering. 
Interesting. 

191
00:14:12,100 --> 00:14:14,900
Then you have others on the 
opposite end of the spectrum who

192
00:14:14,900 --> 00:14:18,200
will say No? 
In fact, if what David is doing 

193
00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:23,800
here, offers anything is the 
possibility of how the whole man

194
00:14:23,800 --> 00:14:28,300
can be engaged in loving God and
adoring God, right? 

195
00:14:28,300 --> 00:14:33,100
So now Not just the spirit, not 
just the soul, but now, my body 

196
00:14:33,100 --> 00:14:37,700
can exhibit Glory unto God. 
Right? 

197
00:14:38,300 --> 00:14:42,100
And so, this side would say, not
only should it not be 

198
00:14:42,100 --> 00:14:45,400
discouraged, it should be 
permitted, it should be 

199
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:51,300
permitted and then they would go
further from there and say to 

200
00:14:51,600 --> 00:14:56,000
despise such a thing or look 
down, or to limit or to cancel 

201
00:14:56,000 --> 00:15:00,600
that possibility wouldn't cure. 
The same condemnation that Mahal

202
00:15:00,600 --> 00:15:04,300
had here when she looked down on
David for doing the very same 

203
00:15:04,300 --> 00:15:06,100
thing, that people say we can't 
do. 

204
00:15:08,100 --> 00:15:10,100
And so we have to come here and 
ask. 

205
00:15:10,100 --> 00:15:12,000
What does the scripture say 
about this? 

206
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,900
What does the totality of God's 
word have to say about this? 

207
00:15:15,900 --> 00:15:18,000
Amy seems trivial seems silly. 
It's like, really, we're going 

208
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,800
to spend a few minutes to talk 
about what they're dancing unto.

209
00:15:20,800 --> 00:15:24,000
The Lord is something that 
relates to us as Christians, but

210
00:15:24,000 --> 00:15:27,600
here's the thing, if I'm a 
serious worshiper, then I want 

211
00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:29,900
to have Clarity on all aspects 
of worship. 

212
00:15:30,400 --> 00:15:32,900
I don't want to be, I don't have
one dark area in my life. 

213
00:15:32,900 --> 00:15:36,300
I don't want to just be able to 
have a debatable conversation. 

214
00:15:36,300 --> 00:15:40,000
I want to know if this is 
something that pleases God. 

215
00:15:41,100 --> 00:15:44,600
And so when you come to a verse 
like this I want you to make 

216
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,700
sure because there are a lot of 
things in the scriptures that 

217
00:15:46,700 --> 00:15:49,400
are not as didactic. 
Meaning, they're not, they're 

218
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:52,400
not as clear as do this. 
Don't do this, they're not as 

219
00:15:52,400 --> 00:15:55,500
black and white, and if we're 
not careful, we can allow our 

220
00:15:55,500 --> 00:16:00,400
convictions to be rooted in 
culture and not the Bible. so 

221
00:16:00,400 --> 00:16:03,800
culturally, we interpret things,
instead of letting the Bible 

222
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,900
interpret things because if I 
were to present this question in

223
00:16:06,900 --> 00:16:10,800
a church in the Caribbeans, I 
would get a totally different 

224
00:16:10,800 --> 00:16:13,700
reaction than if I would teach a
Bible study about this in the 

225
00:16:13,700 --> 00:16:15,600
church, I don't know. 
In the Netherlands. 

226
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:19,000
For example, I don't know. 
Or here in America. 

227
00:16:19,200 --> 00:16:20,500
I won't pick on any other 
Nation. 

228
00:16:21,900 --> 00:16:24,900
So when you come to a verse like
this and when you understand the

229
00:16:24,900 --> 00:16:31,100
possibility of dancing unto the 
Lord, Where do we go with that? 

230
00:16:31,700 --> 00:16:34,900
Some would say the conversation 
can go further than this. 

231
00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,400
Whatever is in a narrative. 
Does not mean it is normative. 

232
00:16:40,600 --> 00:16:43,800
You understand the argument 
there, just because something is

233
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:48,700
in a story in the Bible does not
mean that it is a code of 

234
00:16:48,700 --> 00:16:52,300
conduct that we must apply in 
our context. 

235
00:16:52,900 --> 00:16:55,400
And I think that's important in 
different ways of interpreting. 

236
00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:59,000
It's very dangerous to look at a
narrative and say this is 

237
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,500
normative because a lot of 
people take narratives and make 

238
00:17:02,500 --> 00:17:06,700
concrete doctrines out of things
that are not as clear as we 

239
00:17:06,700 --> 00:17:09,599
would like them to be. 
So just because it's recorded, 

240
00:17:09,599 --> 00:17:12,400
does it mean that? 
Are we are called to certain 

241
00:17:12,400 --> 00:17:15,200
behaviors or practices. 
I understand that, and I agree 

242
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,900
with that. 
But is this the only place where

243
00:17:17,900 --> 00:17:19,599
we see dancing unto the Lord in 
the Bible? 

244
00:17:20,700 --> 00:17:26,400
Okay, tell me of another place. 
Okay, Psalm Thirty, you have the

245
00:17:26,408 --> 00:17:33,600
exact reference You turned my 
mourning into what dancing? 

246
00:17:33,800 --> 00:17:38,000
Psalm 149. 
Verse 3, what is Psalm 149 verse

247
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:41,600
3, say, let them Praise His 
Name. 

248
00:17:42,100 --> 00:17:45,400
With what? 
What do you think, dancing, 

249
00:17:46,400 --> 00:17:50,000
making Melody to him with 
tambourine and liar, okay? 

250
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:54,100
You just have to go to the next 
chapter of Psalm to see verse 4 

251
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:57,700
and Psalm 150, praise him with 
tambourine. 

252
00:17:58,500 --> 00:18:03,200
And what dance, praise him with 
strings and pipe. 

253
00:18:04,500 --> 00:18:06,200
I'll tell you how some people 
interpret, those verses they 

254
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,600
don't mind the tambourines, they
don't mind the Liars, they don't

255
00:18:09,600 --> 00:18:13,700
mind the strings, they don't 
mind the pipe, but keep your 

256
00:18:13,700 --> 00:18:17,400
dancing shoes at home. 
You have something else. 

257
00:18:18,200 --> 00:18:21,800
That was it, right? 
Who else danced in the Old 

258
00:18:21,800 --> 00:18:25,500
Testament other than David? 
Think back to our study in the 

259
00:18:25,500 --> 00:18:29,900
book of Exodus Miriam, did she 
not dance and lead the woman in 

260
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:34,000
procession of dancing? 
so we have references that are 

261
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:38,400
not within the realm of 
narrative only, We have 

262
00:18:38,400 --> 00:18:43,800
different. instances of the 
mention of dancing as God, 

263
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,700
glorifying worship. 
Here's the thing. 

264
00:18:45,700 --> 00:18:48,400
Actually, if you really pay 
attention to the Bible, you will

265
00:18:48,400 --> 00:18:53,100
see that there are many, many 
instances, many pictures and 

266
00:18:53,100 --> 00:18:59,200
various physical postures as 
articulations of Honor unto God 

267
00:18:59,700 --> 00:19:01,900
okay. 
Its more common than you think. 

268
00:19:02,200 --> 00:19:04,500
So you read the early chapters 
of the Book of Revelation. 

269
00:19:04,500 --> 00:19:06,700
What do you find? 
You find these creatures in 

270
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:11,100
heaven and these 24 Elders that 
frequently did what they fell on

271
00:19:11,100 --> 00:19:16,100
their faces before God. 
That's that's a physical act 

272
00:19:16,500 --> 00:19:20,500
communicating something from the
heart that God never condemned. 

273
00:19:21,100 --> 00:19:24,100
You have different moments where
men of God like Moses men of God

274
00:19:24,100 --> 00:19:29,400
like Nehemiah Samuel different 
different men who bow down 

275
00:19:29,400 --> 00:19:35,100
before their maker? 
As a symbol of reverence unto 

276
00:19:35,100 --> 00:19:38,700
God sprinkled throughout the 
Psalms, and even different 

277
00:19:38,700 --> 00:19:44,600
narratives, you have even the 
call to lift up your hands to 

278
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:47,100
the Lord. 
Lifting up your hands to the 

279
00:19:47,100 --> 00:19:52,400
Lord, as it is, mingled with 
either intercession or singing 

280
00:19:52,800 --> 00:19:57,900
to visualize my desperation and 
my surrender unto God. 

281
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:03,600
So you see different positions 
here, different postures, that 

282
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:07,300
engage in exhibit. 
The body that the Bible speaks 

283
00:20:07,300 --> 00:20:11,700
about frequently And I know what
you might be thinking, listen, 

284
00:20:11,700 --> 00:20:13,200
brother. 
Lifting hands. 

285
00:20:13,300 --> 00:20:18,700
I'm okay with bowing down. 
You're pushing it dancing. 

286
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,500
I don't know about dancing. 
And I get it but let me say 

287
00:20:24,500 --> 00:20:30,000
this. 
It's very difficult. to convey 

288
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:32,900
from the Bible and make a 
Biblical case, pay attention or 

289
00:20:32,900 --> 00:20:43,200
about to say that stiff stoic 
statue like Worship is the 

290
00:20:43,200 --> 00:20:47,300
strict standard of how we most 
glorify God. 

291
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:50,100
And offering our adoration 
before him. 

292
00:20:52,000 --> 00:20:56,900
Like the burden of proof is on 
you to prove that because there 

293
00:20:56,900 --> 00:21:00,900
is a lot to say that sometimes 
the body is engaged in worship 

294
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:02,900
and it is the Overflow of the 
heart. 

295
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:07,200
I know again. 
What you may be thinking? 

296
00:21:07,200 --> 00:21:14,400
So the common genuine concern is
where do you draw the line? 

297
00:21:14,400 --> 00:21:20,900
Then where do you draw the line 
of our motions cannot be 

298
00:21:20,900 --> 00:21:25,400
distracting can and not actually
do the opposite of what we would

299
00:21:25,400 --> 00:21:27,800
want to happen. 
And remember, I'm not speaking 

300
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:29,200
about, let me clarify. 
I'm not speaking about what you 

301
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:30,300
do in your bedroom in your 
worship. 

302
00:21:30,300 --> 00:21:31,600
To God, you can do whatever you 
want there. 

303
00:21:31,700 --> 00:21:33,900
I mean, I whatever you want but 
you can do a lot. 

304
00:21:34,600 --> 00:21:38,700
In your room by yourself in the 
presence of God that you can't 

305
00:21:38,700 --> 00:21:42,200
do in a setting like this. 
And that is not, that is not my 

306
00:21:42,200 --> 00:21:46,000
rule, that's the Bible's rules. 
There are instructions of how 

307
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:51,400
you and I come together to 
worship God that all kind of 

308
00:21:51,400 --> 00:21:55,300
actions and activities must 
submit to in order to know the 

309
00:21:55,300 --> 00:21:58,900
most profitable and edifying 
experience of worship that we 

310
00:21:58,908 --> 00:22:01,300
can have with one another and 
more importantly before the 

311
00:22:01,300 --> 00:22:04,000
Lord. 
So instead of trying to nitpick 

312
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,300
Every single thing is this, 
right? 

313
00:22:06,300 --> 00:22:07,400
Is this the right? 
Is that right? 

314
00:22:07,400 --> 00:22:08,400
Is that right? 
Is that too far? 

315
00:22:08,400 --> 00:22:12,200
As that not enough meat, we meet
me in a book in the New 

316
00:22:12,200 --> 00:22:16,400
Testament about worship, at 
least this chapter is about 

317
00:22:16,400 --> 00:22:18,700
instructions of corporate 
worship. 

318
00:22:18,700 --> 00:22:20,200
Some of you are turning already,
you know, where I'm going? 

319
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:23,400
Who knows where I'm going. 
If you're just getting ready. 

320
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:29,300
First Corinthians chapter 14, 
First Corinthians chapter 14 and

321
00:22:29,300 --> 00:22:33,700
meet me in verse 26 because I 
think this will help this will 

322
00:22:33,700 --> 00:22:39,700
help Name our convictions about 
different expressions of 

323
00:22:39,700 --> 00:22:43,100
worship. 
First Corinthians Chapter 14. 

324
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:45,900
Verse 26. 
Here's what Paul is saying to 

325
00:22:45,900 --> 00:22:49,300
the New Testament Church, not 
just to the church in Corinth 

326
00:22:49,300 --> 00:22:52,400
but to all the churches as he 
says later on in this chapter he

327
00:22:52,400 --> 00:22:57,500
says, what then Brothers, when 
you come together, each one has 

328
00:22:57,500 --> 00:23:01,800
a him, a lesson, are Revelation 
a tongue or an interpretation. 

329
00:23:02,200 --> 00:23:06,500
Let all things be done. 
Done for building up. 

330
00:23:09,700 --> 00:23:15,000
Different regulations for how we
worship God in a congregation 

331
00:23:15,500 --> 00:23:20,900
then when you're alone 
consecrated by yourself. 

332
00:23:21,800 --> 00:23:23,600
And the rule is very clear, 
right? 

333
00:23:24,500 --> 00:23:28,300
There is a distinction to be 
made and Paul knew such a 

334
00:23:28,308 --> 00:23:31,000
distinction because in this in 
this actual context, he is 

335
00:23:31,000 --> 00:23:33,800
teaching about tongues. 
That's another Bible study for 

336
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,900
another time, but he's teaching 
about tongues and which she says

337
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:42,300
earlier, that that practice 
edifies yourself more than 

338
00:23:42,300 --> 00:23:45,100
anybody else. 
And if it's not carefully done 

339
00:23:45,100 --> 00:23:49,400
within the Gathering of the 
Brethren, it can have the 

340
00:23:49,400 --> 00:23:53,500
opposite effect. 
And so in order to harness this 

341
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,800
and to make the most of this, 
what you do in private is not 

342
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,200
going to be the same of what you
do in public. 

343
00:24:00,400 --> 00:24:04,200
And so we can apply any kind of 
practice to the same kind of 

344
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,700
rule that we see here. 
And here's the first rule, my 

345
00:24:07,900 --> 00:24:12,700
active presence in a meeting 
like this is completely outward 

346
00:24:12,700 --> 00:24:16,000
focused. 
Primarily. 

347
00:24:16,000 --> 00:24:19,800
Yes, I am coming to worship God 
but very close to that just like

348
00:24:19,800 --> 00:24:22,200
the first and second greatest 
commandment. 

349
00:24:23,000 --> 00:24:28,600
I am here to build up edify spur
on my brothers and sisters in 

350
00:24:28,600 --> 00:24:31,800
Christ. 
I do not come in a place like 

351
00:24:31,800 --> 00:24:35,600
this with the focus on me. 
I do not come in a place like 

352
00:24:35,600 --> 00:24:39,500
this to seek attention and 
gratification and blessing for 

353
00:24:39,500 --> 00:24:40,700
me. 
That's what Paul is saying. 

354
00:24:41,000 --> 00:24:44,900
When you come to church, you're 
coming to offer something. 

355
00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:48,300
When you come to the meeting, 
you have your brothers and 

356
00:24:48,300 --> 00:24:52,700
sisters in mind and you want to 
know how can I build them up? 

357
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:59,400
And that motive will really help
dictate behavior and action, and

358
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,200
expression. 
And so, here's the thing. 

359
00:25:02,200 --> 00:25:05,300
Your gifts, my gifts My Worship,
your worship are meant to 

360
00:25:05,300 --> 00:25:10,500
actually bless others. 
And the moment that my motive is

361
00:25:10,800 --> 00:25:14,700
centered around me, and me being
blessed me being edified or me, 

362
00:25:14,700 --> 00:25:17,400
receiving attention me, 
receiving Glory me receiving 

363
00:25:17,400 --> 00:25:19,200
praise. 
That's where you have to 

364
00:25:19,200 --> 00:25:22,300
reconsider what you're doing. 
Because what you have is people 

365
00:25:22,300 --> 00:25:27,000
saying this, well it's blessing 
me and I'm doing it unto God. 

366
00:25:27,300 --> 00:25:32,100
So what really matters is what 
God sees and what God wants, 

367
00:25:32,200 --> 00:25:34,000
doesn't matter what this person 
thinks, it doesn't matter what 

368
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:36,500
that person thinks. 
And Paul knew that when he was 

369
00:25:36,500 --> 00:25:38,800
teaching this when he was 
specifically talking about the 

370
00:25:38,808 --> 00:25:40,000
gift of tongues. 
So you know what? 

371
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:44,100
He says, go to verse 17 early 
on, look what he says. 

372
00:25:46,400 --> 00:25:49,700
Speaking about tongues, remember
he says, I'm tongues was a form 

373
00:25:49,700 --> 00:25:53,400
of worship. 
Praise prayer for you maybe 

374
00:25:53,400 --> 00:25:57,500
giving, thanks, well enough, but
the other person is not being 

375
00:25:57,500 --> 00:26:01,900
built up. 
Listen as much as you're being 

376
00:26:01,900 --> 00:26:05,400
blessed with what you're doing 
between you and God in this 

377
00:26:05,400 --> 00:26:07,200
context. 
If you're not building others 

378
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:10,200
up, then that doesn't make what 
you're doing legitimate no 

379
00:26:10,200 --> 00:26:14,400
matter how spiritual, maybe, no 
matter how much of a blessing, 

380
00:26:14,400 --> 00:26:18,000
it is to you saying, no, you 
have to consider others around 

381
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:19,900
you. 
As you are worshipping God 

382
00:26:19,900 --> 00:26:22,400
because you're not just doing 
this is not an individual thing.

383
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:25,500
That's not you and God time. 
That's what you do at home. 

384
00:26:25,700 --> 00:26:29,200
This is us and God time big 
difference. 

385
00:26:29,800 --> 00:26:32,800
And the second rule here is very
close to the first one. 

386
00:26:32,800 --> 00:26:35,500
You have to come down to verse 
40 of the same chapter to see 

387
00:26:35,800 --> 00:26:39,600
it, really sums up everything 
later on, Paul says, in verse 

388
00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:44,100
40, but all things, all things 
should be done decently and in 

389
00:26:44,100 --> 00:26:48,400
order decently and in order, no 
matter what your spiritual gift 

390
00:26:48,400 --> 00:26:51,400
is, no matter how much a blesses
you, no matter how much you 

391
00:26:51,408 --> 00:26:54,500
might think, it might bless 
others you and I do not have the

392
00:26:54,500 --> 00:26:57,900
right to exercise or manifest, 
anything. 

393
00:26:57,900 --> 00:27:00,500
Remember, this is all things. 
In a way that would be 

394
00:27:00,500 --> 00:27:05,800
destructive in a way that might 
be confusing in a way that might

395
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,900
be distracting. 
The moment what we're doing is 

396
00:27:09,900 --> 00:27:15,400
muddied and brings about things 
that do not bless is a moment, 

397
00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,700
but we have to stop no matter 
how much you ready for this. 

398
00:27:18,700 --> 00:27:23,500
You think you are being led by 
the spirit to do so, I remember 

399
00:27:23,500 --> 00:27:25,600
I met one guy never met him 
after that, it was literally for

400
00:27:25,600 --> 00:27:27,900
a few moments, I was at a 
conference and we bumped into 

401
00:27:27,900 --> 00:27:29,300
each other. 
So we just got talking while 

402
00:27:29,300 --> 00:27:32,200
we're walking to our destination
and he told me about his church 

403
00:27:32,700 --> 00:27:35,600
and he told me how Spirit-filled
his congregation was and I guess

404
00:27:35,600 --> 00:27:38,000
he wanted to explain how 
Spirit-filled his congregation 

405
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,400
was. 
So he told me, he says, art, our

406
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:43,500
congregation is so sensitive to 
the holy spirit that if the Lord

407
00:27:43,500 --> 00:27:46,000
were the tell somebody during a 
meeting to go and paint the wall

408
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,600
to go paint the wall. 
That's really interesting. 

409
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,900
I think Paul would have 
something to say about that. 

410
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:59,500
And so, you have to understand 
that a lot of Liberty has 

411
00:27:59,500 --> 00:28:05,200
license behind being led by the 
spirit. but you know what, the 

412
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:10,400
most spiritual thing to do is do
things decently and in order 

413
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:15,000
that's, Holy, Spirit, lead, when
there's chaos, if people are 

414
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,100
jumping from one Pew, to the 
next, if people are running 

415
00:28:17,100 --> 00:28:19,300
around the service and throwing 
things around, and it's not 

416
00:28:19,300 --> 00:28:23,400
decent or an order, Then it's 
disqualified. 

417
00:28:24,100 --> 00:28:26,700
It's disqualified. 
So keep that in mind when we 

418
00:28:26,708 --> 00:28:30,400
understand what David is doing 
here as well, because we have to

419
00:28:30,400 --> 00:28:34,200
understand that There are rules 
to our worship. 

420
00:28:34,400 --> 00:28:39,100
Our Praise there are boundaries,
there are limitations. 

421
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,700
But at the same time, if there's
anything that we can take out of

422
00:28:42,700 --> 00:28:48,500
David's story here, is that his 
enthusiasm offers us the 

423
00:28:48,500 --> 00:28:53,500
inspiration that in different 
occasions and different contexts

424
00:28:53,500 --> 00:28:56,900
and different moments will 
inspire different responses. 

425
00:28:57,900 --> 00:28:59,400
What? 
This will inspire different 

426
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,000
reactions to what God has done 
is doing? 

427
00:29:03,900 --> 00:29:07,200
So there are moments, right? 
Because David is not in a church

428
00:29:07,200 --> 00:29:10,500
with pews here, he's on the 
streets, he's in a procession, 

429
00:29:10,500 --> 00:29:13,200
the whole nation is there. 
There is a there is a huge 

430
00:29:13,200 --> 00:29:16,900
parade with instruments and Loud
song taking place. 

431
00:29:17,400 --> 00:29:21,400
And so it was appropriate in 
this context for him to leap and

432
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,900
to do whatever he was doing 
spiraling around. 

433
00:29:25,400 --> 00:29:28,400
We just overflowing with joy 
with Knowledge of the presence 

434
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:31,700
of God being in close proximity,
but it is no less of worship 

435
00:29:31,700 --> 00:29:36,500
that in some settings that this 
place be just completely silent.

436
00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,500
As we reflect on something 
solemn, something good 

437
00:29:41,500 --> 00:29:42,900
something. 
Holy I can't help. 

438
00:29:42,900 --> 00:29:47,000
But think of our Friday night 
services during Easter, it's a 

439
00:29:47,008 --> 00:29:49,700
very silent night. 
It's very quiet night because 

440
00:29:49,700 --> 00:29:52,700
reflecting about what our sin 
has done. 

441
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:57,500
What it costs, the son of God, I
don't think it would be to to 

442
00:29:57,500 --> 00:30:01,000
appropriate a setting like that 
to be leaping and jumping around

443
00:30:01,000 --> 00:30:05,600
and clapping cymbals together. 
But then there are other moments

444
00:30:05,900 --> 00:30:10,100
were God can intervene and 
interject with such a 

445
00:30:10,100 --> 00:30:13,100
supernatural sense of his glory 
and power, he can even perform a

446
00:30:13,100 --> 00:30:17,300
miracle where it would be. 
I would say appropriate that out

447
00:30:17,300 --> 00:30:20,700
of just sheer excitement to jump
up and down. 

448
00:30:21,400 --> 00:30:23,300
Look what God is doing in our 
midst. 

449
00:30:23,700 --> 00:30:25,300
Look at the look at the things 
that he is. 

450
00:30:25,300 --> 00:30:29,300
He Forming right before our eyes
and it would, in fact, be 

451
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,400
inappropriate to do anything 
less. 

452
00:30:34,800 --> 00:30:36,700
And so it's not as black and 
white, right? 

453
00:30:37,000 --> 00:30:39,000
It's not, it's not as do this, 
don't do this. 

454
00:30:39,100 --> 00:30:42,400
I think, as long as we take 
Paul's instructions and apply 

455
00:30:42,400 --> 00:30:47,000
them to our context and to our 
culture's, then we are the 

456
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:51,700
safest, then we are the safest. 
And if we're honest with this 

457
00:30:51,700 --> 00:30:56,000
tax, we must say that. 
There are physical acts of 

458
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,400
worship that are indeed 
permitted, not mandated, but 

459
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:03,600
permitted, as long as they build
others up, as long as they are 

460
00:31:03,600 --> 00:31:06,700
done decently. 
And in order, whatever we do may

461
00:31:06,700 --> 00:31:10,500
be done with a measure of wisdom
and with the law of love, so 

462
00:31:10,500 --> 00:31:12,000
that it can be a blessing, not 
just to God. 

463
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,800
But to those that God has called
us to respect and edify the same

464
00:31:15,800 --> 00:31:18,900
time. 
And some might say, well, maybe 

465
00:31:18,900 --> 00:31:22,100
David broke that rule because of
the reaction of his wife and 

466
00:31:22,100 --> 00:31:26,400
we'll get to that in a moment. 
But I don't think to be honest, 

467
00:31:26,400 --> 00:31:28,100
this is just a personal 
observation. 

468
00:31:28,100 --> 00:31:32,800
I don't think the issue. 
In our context and our culture 

469
00:31:33,300 --> 00:31:38,900
is too much enthusiasm. 
Would you agree with that? 

470
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,400
I don't think it's too much 
enthusiasm. 

471
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:41,600
I think there's a great lack of 
it. 

472
00:31:43,300 --> 00:31:46,800
You can put a Christian in 
almost any other setting, and 

473
00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:50,900
they can find a way to be very, 
very passionate, and not very 

474
00:31:50,900 --> 00:31:52,600
embarrassed to show their 
passion. 

475
00:31:52,600 --> 00:31:56,200
But for some reason, when you 
put them in a church service, 

476
00:31:56,800 --> 00:31:58,800
they're there as though Jesus 
didn't rise from the dead and 

477
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,500
it's like a funeral every week. 
I don't understand that. 

478
00:32:03,500 --> 00:32:05,000
I don't get it. 
That's just that's just me 

479
00:32:05,000 --> 00:32:07,400
personally. 
I think some Christians I love 

480
00:32:07,400 --> 00:32:08,500
them. 
They're going to make heaven but

481
00:32:08,500 --> 00:32:09,900
they might be very uncomfortable
in heaven. 

482
00:32:11,500 --> 00:32:13,000
Because it's going to be very 
loud. 

483
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,200
It's gonna be a lot of singing. 
You're going to see a lot of 

484
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:19,500
people creatures even bowing 
down before God. 

485
00:32:20,600 --> 00:32:23,600
Raising their voices to God. 
And sometimes. 

486
00:32:23,600 --> 00:32:25,800
Well, that's distracting. 
Well, not if it's done for the 

487
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:28,800
glory of God, not if it's 
authentic, none of its real, 

488
00:32:29,300 --> 00:32:30,600
not. 
If it's led by the spirit, not 

489
00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,200
of it is done with the, the 
order that Paul calls for, if 

490
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,200
anything it can demonstrate 
greater glory to God. 

491
00:32:38,300 --> 00:32:40,400
So, those are just my two cents 
in light of the word. 

492
00:32:40,800 --> 00:32:42,500
So, let's come back to this 
text, right? 

493
00:32:42,700 --> 00:32:47,500
Let's scroll down to verse 18. 
And when David had finished, 

494
00:32:47,500 --> 00:32:49,900
offering the burnt offerings and
the peace offerings. 

495
00:32:49,900 --> 00:32:53,300
He blessed the people in the 
name of the Lord of hosts and 

496
00:32:53,300 --> 00:32:55,800
distributed among all the 
people, the whole multitude of 

497
00:32:55,800 --> 00:32:58,400
Israel, both men and women, a 
cake of bread, a portion of me 

498
00:32:58,600 --> 00:33:00,300
and a cake of raisins to each 
one. 

499
00:33:00,500 --> 00:33:03,100
Then all the people departed 
each to his house. 

500
00:33:03,300 --> 00:33:06,000
So here's what's amazing. 
We can make the mistake of 

501
00:33:06,000 --> 00:33:10,300
measuring somebody's worship. 
Being real and sincere solely 

502
00:33:10,300 --> 00:33:13,000
upon the excitement. 
And the intensity of their 

503
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:16,000
praise that they display in a 
service or an event. 

504
00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:20,900
Enthusiasm is not. 
The be-all and end-all. 

505
00:33:21,700 --> 00:33:28,800
It's not it's a part of it and 
there should be enthusiasm in 

506
00:33:28,800 --> 00:33:32,600
our singing in are interceding. 
The Bible's clear about that, 

507
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:35,800
but David is going to show that 
worship goes beyond that sphere 

508
00:33:35,800 --> 00:33:38,400
of life, goes beyond the 
meeting. 

509
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:40,300
Place goes beyond the segment of
time. 

510
00:33:40,300 --> 00:33:43,000
During the week, that is 
designated for that focus. 

511
00:33:43,800 --> 00:33:47,800
And the way he's going to show 
it here is that as a worshipper 

512
00:33:48,900 --> 00:33:53,100
His his love for God. 
His acknowledgment of God is 

513
00:33:53,100 --> 00:33:56,500
going to spill over in the way 
he treats other people. 

514
00:33:57,800 --> 00:34:00,400
And the way he treats other 
people, as a rule, he felt the 

515
00:34:00,400 --> 00:34:05,600
great responsibility and need to
serve them in a very practical 

516
00:34:05,600 --> 00:34:10,600
way to extend Grace to extend 
help to extend Mercy with a 

517
00:34:10,607 --> 00:34:15,000
recognition of a need that's 
that's there and he want to meet

518
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,699
that need. 
That's how we came out of the 

519
00:34:17,699 --> 00:34:22,100
worship service, so to speak. 
So he who is not like many who 

520
00:34:22,100 --> 00:34:26,000
failed to make a connection 
between a vertical adoration and

521
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:29,699
a horizontal awareness. 
Some people make that disconnect

522
00:34:30,100 --> 00:34:33,199
there one thing vertically but 
horizontally, they're like a 

523
00:34:33,199 --> 00:34:36,900
completely different person and 
that, that doesn't make sense in

524
00:34:36,900 --> 00:34:39,699
light of how the Bible wants to 
frame our worship. 

525
00:34:40,199 --> 00:34:44,100
There should be if anything this
channel between us and God that 

526
00:34:44,100 --> 00:34:47,000
spills over and the way we 
minister to others. 

527
00:34:47,100 --> 00:34:50,100
And here's what's happening, you
have people who knows how far 

528
00:34:50,100 --> 00:34:53,600
they came to meet David and the 
Ark into Jerusalem. 

529
00:34:53,699 --> 00:34:55,199
Who knows what resources they 
set up. 

530
00:34:55,199 --> 00:34:57,300
Our who knows what kind of time 
they had to. 

531
00:34:57,300 --> 00:35:00,100
They had Set apart in order to 
come to this event and 

532
00:35:00,100 --> 00:35:02,200
acknowledge God. 
And David realized these people 

533
00:35:02,200 --> 00:35:04,500
have to go home. 
They have a long journey home, 

534
00:35:04,800 --> 00:35:07,800
they have a trip to make and 
your these little kids and he's 

535
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:10,000
people have to spend so much 
money that the sit in traffic 

536
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:12,100
all these things. 
And so he felt the need with the

537
00:35:12,100 --> 00:35:15,400
resources and the power that he 
had to be able to nourish them 

538
00:35:15,400 --> 00:35:18,300
and bless them and Supply 
whatever they needed. 

539
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:22,700
And so when I look at a verse I 
guess I realized that the the 

540
00:35:22,700 --> 00:35:26,900
sequence suggest this is what 
true worship looks like. 

541
00:35:28,800 --> 00:35:30,200
This is what true worship looks 
like in. 

542
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:33,500
A reminds me of a text. 
And first, John meet me in first

543
00:35:33,500 --> 00:35:42,200
John quickly, in chapter three. 
David is Young and he David is 

544
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:45,600
in his 30s here and he is 
already showing evidence of 

545
00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:51,400
mindfulness and tenderness for 
others, proving that his heart 

546
00:35:51,400 --> 00:35:55,400
was surely moved and influenced 
by serious revelation of the 

547
00:35:55,400 --> 00:35:57,800
love of God. 
First, John three sixteen. 

548
00:35:57,800 --> 00:36:03,800
Not John 3:16 first, John 3:16. 
By this, we know love that he 

549
00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:08,700
laid down his life for us and we
ought to lay down our lives for 

550
00:36:08,700 --> 00:36:10,900
the brothers. 
Okay? 

551
00:36:11,300 --> 00:36:13,400
When you hear, if you grew up in
the church, you've heard this. 

552
00:36:13,400 --> 00:36:17,300
When you hear the expression, 
the christ-centered Christ 

553
00:36:17,300 --> 00:36:22,000
focused expression, laying our 
lives down, four brothers, 

554
00:36:22,000 --> 00:36:24,000
laying our lives down for one 
another. 

555
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:25,300
What's the first thing that 
comes to mind? 

556
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:32,000
Be honest, what comes to mind? 
Can I tell you what comes to 

557
00:36:32,008 --> 00:36:34,500
mind? 
A heroic Act of martyrdom? 

558
00:36:36,200 --> 00:36:37,900
That's what comes to mind. 
The first thing that comes to 

559
00:36:37,908 --> 00:36:41,600
mind is laying your life down, 
because, I mean, it's related to

560
00:36:41,600 --> 00:36:45,500
Jesus, he laid down his life for
us, we ought to lay down our 

561
00:36:45,500 --> 00:36:48,600
lives for the brothers, so, 
that, if the opportunity should 

562
00:36:48,600 --> 00:36:53,000
arise, where I must give up my 
life in order to spare the life 

563
00:36:53,000 --> 00:36:58,100
of a brother, I should do it. 
I think that's part of it. 

564
00:36:58,700 --> 00:37:00,800
I don't even think that's 
necessarily what John is 

565
00:37:00,800 --> 00:37:05,000
implying in this teaching. 
Laying your life down. 

566
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:08,900
For the brothers, is clarified, 
in the next verse, look at verse

567
00:37:08,900 --> 00:37:12,200
17. 
But if anyone has the world's 

568
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:16,500
goods and sees his brother in 
need yet, closes his heart 

569
00:37:16,500 --> 00:37:19,000
against them. 
How does God's love abide in 

570
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:21,600
him? 
Do you see the relationship 

571
00:37:21,600 --> 00:37:25,700
here? 
Verse 17, a major aspect of what

572
00:37:25,700 --> 00:37:29,800
it means to lay down my life. 
For my brother is not so much 

573
00:37:30,000 --> 00:37:36,200
about sacrificial dying. 
It's more about sacrificial 

574
00:37:36,200 --> 00:37:41,600
living. 
I think the latter is harder 

575
00:37:41,600 --> 00:37:47,900
than the former because the 
latter sacrificial living to the

576
00:37:47,900 --> 00:37:51,300
flesh is a slow death, it's a 
slow death. 

577
00:37:52,000 --> 00:37:55,100
You're telling me if putting the
interests of others above mine, 

578
00:37:55,100 --> 00:37:58,400
you're telling me to lay aside, 
my desires and to steam others 

579
00:37:58,400 --> 00:38:03,100
more important as me. 
That's a slow torturous death to

580
00:38:03,100 --> 00:38:07,000
the flesh. 
Some would prefer they just be a

581
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:09,000
martyr and get it all over with,
and I want to get out of this 

582
00:38:09,000 --> 00:38:13,500
world anyway. 
But when I look at a text like 

583
00:38:13,500 --> 00:38:16,000
this, I understand that laying 
down our lives. 

584
00:38:16,000 --> 00:38:20,800
For others means that I have a 
consideration for consideration 

585
00:38:20,800 --> 00:38:25,400
for and a contribution to the 
interest of others even at the 

586
00:38:25,400 --> 00:38:29,000
cost of my own. 
We need the holy spirit's help. 

587
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,200
We need the holy spirit's help 
to live this way because if I 

588
00:38:33,200 --> 00:38:37,100
see a brother if I see a sister 
and there's a need in their life

589
00:38:37,400 --> 00:38:42,200
and my heart reaction is to be 
close to them to ignore it and 

590
00:38:42,200 --> 00:38:44,000
neglected to imagine it's not 
there. 

591
00:38:44,200 --> 00:38:48,000
Then then John says how can you 
claim that God's love is alive 

592
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:50,900
in you? 
The evidence that God's love it 

593
00:38:50,900 --> 00:38:53,600
is alive in you, is that when 
you see that need, when you see 

594
00:38:53,600 --> 00:38:56,700
that request, and when you see 
the opportunity, your heart 

595
00:38:56,700 --> 00:38:59,900
opens up. 
It says I'm willing to do what I

596
00:38:59,900 --> 00:39:03,700
need to do. 
And so we see that in David's 

597
00:39:03,700 --> 00:39:07,100
life to some degree, he's aware 
he sees it. 

598
00:39:07,100 --> 00:39:10,000
He's not just caught up in this 
personal experience with God. 

599
00:39:10,200 --> 00:39:13,300
It translate into the way he 
looked at people and his heart 

600
00:39:13,300 --> 00:39:17,800
opened up towards them. 
So true worship a true living 

601
00:39:17,800 --> 00:39:22,000
pure sacrifice unto God is able 
to act in such a way but it goes

602
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:25,100
beyond that go back to our main 
text before we go there, where 

603
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:28,000
does he go next? 
After he serves the nation. 

604
00:39:28,000 --> 00:39:30,400
Where did he go next? 
He goes home. 

605
00:39:32,300 --> 00:39:36,100
So David went from to from 
church, right? 

606
00:39:36,900 --> 00:39:41,200
The house of God, the big 
conference event and from there 

607
00:39:41,200 --> 00:39:43,700
he served the people came a 
little bit more to Earth and he 

608
00:39:43,700 --> 00:39:46,900
serve the people. 
And now in verse 20, we read in 

609
00:39:46,908 --> 00:39:51,600
the first few words, and David 
returned to bless his household 

610
00:39:52,300 --> 00:39:55,500
and David returned to bless his 
household. 

611
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:04,300
I believe that the home is the 
highest altar of worship. 

612
00:40:05,100 --> 00:40:09,300
I believe it is the primary 
place that God seeks incense 

613
00:40:09,300 --> 00:40:13,600
from He demonstrates what a true
worshiper. 

614
00:40:13,600 --> 00:40:17,300
Looks like when we are turned, 
when we returns home to bless 

615
00:40:17,300 --> 00:40:21,400
his home proving that he didn't 
leave his faith at the event, 

616
00:40:21,900 --> 00:40:24,900
but he brought it to his 
day-to-day life, he brought it 

617
00:40:24,900 --> 00:40:28,400
home. 
It breaks my heart because I 

618
00:40:28,400 --> 00:40:33,900
know that it is frequently the 
case where people leave that 

619
00:40:33,900 --> 00:40:36,800
Faith, leave that 
acknowledgement of God, right at

620
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:40,100
the door, no matter what they 
heard and sang about. 

621
00:40:40,100 --> 00:40:42,300
It's a sad. 
Commentary on many people's 

622
00:40:42,300 --> 00:40:47,100
lives. 
We see here that this man 

623
00:40:47,900 --> 00:40:52,200
realized that what happened 
there has to happen in my house.

624
00:40:52,200 --> 00:40:55,400
It will look different, but it 
will not be inconsistent. 

625
00:40:56,400 --> 00:41:00,200
And Paul, the Apostle seems to 
indicate even to us in the New 

626
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:03,800
Covenant. 
That if we are to demonstrate 

627
00:41:03,800 --> 00:41:09,300
our godliness primarily in any 
place, it has to be within the 

628
00:41:09,308 --> 00:41:12,000
confines of our home with our 
family. 

629
00:41:12,900 --> 00:41:15,900
Yes, with your parents, with 
your siblings with your spouse. 

630
00:41:18,300 --> 00:41:22,500
Household godliness. 
I want to show you where I get 

631
00:41:22,500 --> 00:41:25,200
that idea from it's an obscure 
passage of scripture that we 

632
00:41:25,200 --> 00:41:29,000
seem to ignore it's about widows
for those who are there. 

633
00:41:29,700 --> 00:41:31,800
Maybe a year and a half ago. 
We look through this and First 

634
00:41:31,800 --> 00:41:36,200
Timothy and chapter 5 but I want
you to see this because in this 

635
00:41:36,200 --> 00:41:39,800
one instruction, I think you 
have a principal for Universal 

636
00:41:39,800 --> 00:41:45,900
godliness to be applied in all 
aspects of Our Lives. 1st 

637
00:41:45,900 --> 00:41:52,800
Timothy 5 4. 
Look at Paul says, but if a 

638
00:41:52,800 --> 00:41:57,600
widow has children or 
grandchildren, let them first 

639
00:41:57,600 --> 00:42:02,100
learn to show, godliness to 
their own household. 

640
00:42:02,500 --> 00:42:06,000
Do you see that? 
And to make some return to their

641
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:08,400
parents? 
For this is pleasing in the 

642
00:42:08,408 --> 00:42:10,400
sight of God. 
What's pleasing in the sight of 

643
00:42:10,400 --> 00:42:16,500
God, that you would first learn 
to show godliness home 

644
00:42:19,500 --> 00:42:24,200
Unfortunately, I for some 
reason, it seems to be our 

645
00:42:24,200 --> 00:42:27,600
reflex to primarily Shore 
godliness in a setting like this

646
00:42:28,500 --> 00:42:32,700
and to even extend the fruit of 
the spirit to unbelieving 

647
00:42:32,700 --> 00:42:36,000
co-workers or friends. 
But when it comes to our 

648
00:42:36,600 --> 00:42:39,900
husband, our wives, our 
children, our brothers in the 

649
00:42:39,900 --> 00:42:46,100
flesh, our sisters and blood, we
seem to reserve those fruits And

650
00:42:46,100 --> 00:42:50,400
we seem to extend other things. 
We seem to extend more fruit of 

651
00:42:50,408 --> 00:42:52,800
the flesh than anything else. 
I don't know why that is. 

652
00:42:54,200 --> 00:42:58,300
But it's often the case. 
And Paul says, learn first to 

653
00:42:58,300 --> 00:43:01,300
show godliness at home, this is 
really pleasing in the sight of 

654
00:43:01,300 --> 00:43:04,100
God. 
In fact, he goes on to say that.

655
00:43:04,100 --> 00:43:09,800
If you don't know how to do that
then it really disqualifies your

656
00:43:09,800 --> 00:43:12,100
demonstration of spirituality in
any other context. 

657
00:43:12,100 --> 00:43:14,500
Remember what he says later on 
that if someone does not know 

658
00:43:14,500 --> 00:43:16,900
how to provide for his own 
relatives, he's worse than an 

659
00:43:16,900 --> 00:43:21,600
unbeliever and has denied the 
faith consider that let's 

660
00:43:21,600 --> 00:43:26,100
consider the magnitude of that 
if you fail to give the 

661
00:43:26,100 --> 00:43:31,500
appropriate recognition, And 
fulfill your responsibilities. 

662
00:43:32,800 --> 00:43:36,200
As a brother or sister, or 
child, or parent in humanity, 

663
00:43:36,200 --> 00:43:44,500
then your faith is null. and no 
matter what you do, and I think 

664
00:43:44,500 --> 00:43:48,100
that, Paul here provides another
insight. 

665
00:43:49,900 --> 00:43:53,300
What happens among relatives 
affects the health of the 

666
00:43:53,300 --> 00:43:58,100
church? 
In many context, what happens in

667
00:43:58,100 --> 00:44:03,700
the home, has a connection to 
the strength of the church. 

668
00:44:04,700 --> 00:44:09,400
Go to verse 16 to prove it. 
If any believing woman has 

669
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:13,100
relatives, who are widows, let 
her care for them, let the 

670
00:44:13,100 --> 00:44:18,400
church not be burdened. 
So that it may care for those 

671
00:44:18,400 --> 00:44:26,000
who are truly widows. 
Don't burden the church, what is

672
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:27,900
he applying their? 
What's that Vernon's financial 

673
00:44:27,900 --> 00:44:30,000
burden? 
Which tells me another thing? 

674
00:44:30,000 --> 00:44:33,000
Listen, hey, as Christians, it 
doesn't mean that we just give 

675
00:44:33,100 --> 00:44:36,200
anything to anybody who asks, 
never forget that, this is not 

676
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:38,600
the point of the Bible study, 
just because you're a Christian,

677
00:44:38,600 --> 00:44:40,600
just because your call to 
generosity and sacrificial 

678
00:44:40,600 --> 00:44:44,000
living, the Bible doesn't want 
you to blindly, extend. 

679
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:46,100
Help to anybody who asks for 
help. 

680
00:44:46,600 --> 00:44:49,900
I know that seems controversial 
read 1st, Timothy 5 and you'll 

681
00:44:49,900 --> 00:44:52,600
get what I'm saying. 
There's actually Criterion, 

682
00:44:52,700 --> 00:44:56,700
there's actually a list of 
requirements in many settings 

683
00:44:56,700 --> 00:45:00,900
before assistance is made known.
I think there are a lot of 

684
00:45:00,900 --> 00:45:04,300
Christians who are not wise in 
this area and they get hurt more

685
00:45:04,300 --> 00:45:06,900
than blessed by just blindly 
helping people. 

686
00:45:07,900 --> 00:45:09,800
If you have more questions about
that, see me after the Bible 

687
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:14,000
study, but notice what he says 
here, the family is in 

688
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:19,900
partnership with the church. 
Hey, homes those in this place 

689
00:45:20,300 --> 00:45:23,700
where you have Believers within 
the household, you have a job to

690
00:45:23,700 --> 00:45:25,200
do that. 
The church is not supposed to 

691
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:28,900
do, the church is not the 
primary reactor to everything. 

692
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:32,700
They're not that they are not 
the 911 to all problems homes. 

693
00:45:32,700 --> 00:45:35,600
You have a job to do. 
Fathers. 

694
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,400
You have a job do Mother's you. 
Siblings have a job to do. 

695
00:45:38,600 --> 00:45:41,200
If you have a widow in your home
you got to take care of that 

696
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:44,800
before we do. 
And this burden here specific is

697
00:45:44,800 --> 00:45:46,600
speaking about financial burden,
right? 

698
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:51,000
But it applies across the board,
consider the cycle that God has 

699
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,700
established that when you and I 
leave this place just like David

700
00:45:54,700 --> 00:45:58,300
left that event. 
We are to go and and be fueled 

701
00:45:58,300 --> 00:46:00,800
to bless our homes even more, 
right? 

702
00:46:00,800 --> 00:46:03,600
But just like what Paul is 
explaining here, what happens in

703
00:46:03,600 --> 00:46:07,500
the home, can either be a burden
to the church or blessing to the

704
00:46:07,508 --> 00:46:10,600
church? 
And so this cycle must be 

705
00:46:10,600 --> 00:46:13,100
honored must be recognized. 
Those are not two separate 

706
00:46:13,100 --> 00:46:15,100
entities. 
This Ministries built upon the 

707
00:46:15,100 --> 00:46:19,400
foundation of Godly homes, and 
if the homes are struggling, if 

708
00:46:19,400 --> 00:46:24,300
marriages are struggling this 
ministry, will struggle And I 

709
00:46:24,308 --> 00:46:26,400
think that's important for us to
understand to because the church

710
00:46:26,400 --> 00:46:31,100
is not the savior of families. 
Either it's not the youth group 

711
00:46:31,100 --> 00:46:33,300
that we're planning to have is 
not going to save the you that 

712
00:46:33,300 --> 00:46:35,400
might help. 
It might supplement, but what 

713
00:46:35,400 --> 00:46:42,000
goes on at home is crucial and I
know it's not as easy as what 

714
00:46:42,000 --> 00:46:44,800
I'm presenting because there are
nuances, right? 

715
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:46,600
There are complications. 
What if the spouse is not a 

716
00:46:46,607 --> 00:46:48,200
Godly? 
What if the Omni only believer? 

717
00:46:48,200 --> 00:46:49,400
I get it. 
That's where the church comes in

718
00:46:49,400 --> 00:46:52,100
now. 
So the church knows when to come

719
00:46:52,100 --> 00:46:55,400
in the church know I want to be 
the primary help and the church 

720
00:46:55,400 --> 00:46:56,900
knows when to be the secondary 
help. 

721
00:46:58,100 --> 00:47:00,900
And in David's case, it was not 
easy because we heard it, right?

722
00:47:00,900 --> 00:47:04,600
He's in a go home and he's 
Shiri, he's filled with joy. 

723
00:47:04,900 --> 00:47:08,900
He's on a spiritual High, he's 
skipping and dancing home. 

724
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:14,600
Only to meet a wife. 
That's not exactly supportive. 

725
00:47:15,000 --> 00:47:17,900
Right? 
So let's go back to that texts. 

726
00:47:17,900 --> 00:47:20,700
Many of you mentioned an 
observed about me, house, 

727
00:47:20,700 --> 00:47:23,200
behavior and words. 
Let's, let's try to understand 

728
00:47:23,200 --> 00:47:24,600
why she's doing, what she's 
doing. 

729
00:47:28,200 --> 00:47:31,400
First 20, David returned to 
bless his household but Michal 

730
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:33,200
the daughter of Saul came out to
me. 

731
00:47:33,200 --> 00:47:36,700
David pause what stands out to 
you from that one sentence or 

732
00:47:36,707 --> 00:47:42,500
one phrase. 
I saw your mouth moving. 

733
00:47:43,800 --> 00:47:45,800
Yes, very good. 
Do you notice how the Holy 

734
00:47:45,800 --> 00:47:50,600
Spirit refers to Mahal? 
Is it, is it mija all the wife 

735
00:47:50,600 --> 00:47:54,000
of David should be, shouldn't 
it? 

736
00:47:57,500 --> 00:48:01,000
so when somebody finds a spouse,
they should leave their father 

737
00:48:01,000 --> 00:48:03,500
and mother That's some of the 
holy spirit. 

738
00:48:03,500 --> 00:48:05,500
Says the holy spirit says Michal
the daughter of Saul. 

739
00:48:05,500 --> 00:48:10,100
Why do you think that is? 
Because she's going to look and 

740
00:48:10,100 --> 00:48:14,400
sound a lot like Saul. 
And what we're about to read, 

741
00:48:15,200 --> 00:48:19,100
she's going to resemble her 
father Saul and she is going to 

742
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:25,900
show a great lack of what David 
has and his heart towards God. 

743
00:48:26,700 --> 00:48:28,800
So she Reigns on his parade, 
right? 

744
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:33,500
And she Reigns on David's, 
personal parade with sarcasm and

745
00:48:33,500 --> 00:48:36,700
slander. 
She makes allegations she makes 

746
00:48:36,700 --> 00:48:42,000
accusations and so vicious and 
impatient was her confrontation 

747
00:48:42,100 --> 00:48:44,300
that we David the same again to 
the front door. 

748
00:48:44,900 --> 00:48:48,500
She sees him from the window 
presumably and she runs out of 

749
00:48:48,508 --> 00:48:51,000
the front door to meet him as 
early as possible. 

750
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:56,500
Like she is foaming out of the 
mouth via manly upset and 

751
00:48:56,500 --> 00:48:59,100
irritated about what she saw 
early on in that day. 

752
00:48:59,900 --> 00:49:05,000
And I look at this and I think 
to myself, What's her criticism 

753
00:49:05,000 --> 00:49:08,100
Justified? 
And the way to answer that is to

754
00:49:08,100 --> 00:49:11,700
look into biblically because the
Temptation is to psychoanalyze. 

755
00:49:11,700 --> 00:49:14,900
Why she's doing this. 
The Temptation is say, well, you

756
00:49:14,900 --> 00:49:17,200
know, she had a rough pass and 
she might have been treated this

757
00:49:17,200 --> 00:49:19,100
way. 
We're tempted to do that, but I 

758
00:49:19,100 --> 00:49:22,300
want to stay within the bounds 
of scripture and I do a study on

759
00:49:22,300 --> 00:49:25,400
whom Michal was I'm not 
introduced Earth for the first 

760
00:49:25,400 --> 00:49:28,700
time here. 
I know who she is, you know, who

761
00:49:28,700 --> 00:49:32,500
she is. 
So maybe who she is, is all that

762
00:49:32,500 --> 00:49:35,500
we need to understand for this 
kind of behavior and 

763
00:49:35,500 --> 00:49:38,400
confrontation. 
So first thing she does write 

764
00:49:38,400 --> 00:49:40,200
it. 
She says how the king of Israel 

765
00:49:40,200 --> 00:49:43,000
honored himself honored himself 
today. 

766
00:49:43,800 --> 00:49:47,300
She's being sarcastic, 
uncovering himself today, before

767
00:49:47,300 --> 00:49:51,700
the eyes of this of his servants
female servants, question, who 

768
00:49:51,700 --> 00:49:54,000
here believes that David was 
half naked when he was dancing. 

769
00:49:55,100 --> 00:49:57,900
because many people believe that
many people have that depiction 

770
00:49:57,900 --> 00:50:05,400
of David, Was David just 
shirtless and wearing Priestly, 

771
00:50:05,400 --> 00:50:10,900
trousers is some belief. 
No, we learned that he was 

772
00:50:10,900 --> 00:50:13,100
wearing a linen, ephod. 
And we learned that he was 

773
00:50:13,100 --> 00:50:15,600
closed, just like the levitical 
priests were clothes. 

774
00:50:17,300 --> 00:50:22,000
And so many people take what 
Mahal is saying and take it to 

775
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:23,600
heart. 
And literally and say, well, I 

776
00:50:23,600 --> 00:50:26,000
can see why she's kind of upset 
because if my husband was 

777
00:50:26,500 --> 00:50:29,500
dancing around barely clothed I 
would I would be up no matter 

778
00:50:29,500 --> 00:50:32,500
what he's doing, right? 
Goes back to Pauls rules, it 

779
00:50:32,500 --> 00:50:34,700
doesn't matter how sincere you 
are, you got to put on some 

780
00:50:34,700 --> 00:50:37,800
clothes, right? 
But that's not what's happening 

781
00:50:37,800 --> 00:50:40,900
here because we know that David 
was closed, just like the 

782
00:50:40,900 --> 00:50:45,800
Levites were clothed. 
So why is she criticizing his 

783
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:50,500
articles of clothing? 
Think about it. 

784
00:50:51,100 --> 00:50:55,500
What did he need to do in order 
to wear the linen ephod and to 

785
00:50:55,500 --> 00:51:01,000
be recognized for ruining 
wearing the linen ephod very 

786
00:51:01,000 --> 00:51:04,000
good. 
He had to remove his Royal 

787
00:51:04,000 --> 00:51:07,500
attire. 
He had to remove that which 

788
00:51:07,500 --> 00:51:10,900
distinguished him from the rest 
of the commoners. 

789
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:17,000
And that is what upset me, Hal. 
Humility was not a virtue to 

790
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:21,900
her. 
And she put a premium, she sure 

791
00:51:21,900 --> 00:51:28,400
identity was caught up, just 
like her dad caught up and honor

792
00:51:28,500 --> 00:51:33,200
and high profile status and 
David in this, in this display 

793
00:51:33,200 --> 00:51:36,500
of humility, says, I'm not the 
king of Israel. 

794
00:51:36,800 --> 00:51:40,700
God is, here's his are coming to
the throne. 

795
00:51:40,700 --> 00:51:44,200
And so I will blend in with the 
rest of the nation and there's 

796
00:51:44,200 --> 00:51:49,800
Michal In her a little Palace 
looking down with disgust. 

797
00:51:50,700 --> 00:51:56,000
How could you make yourself so 
low in the eyes of men? 

798
00:51:57,100 --> 00:52:00,400
Because that ultimately offended
her to some degree. 

799
00:52:02,100 --> 00:52:05,400
And so she looks at this and she
realizes, I don't understand how

800
00:52:05,400 --> 00:52:07,500
you can do this, but it's more 
than that. 

801
00:52:07,800 --> 00:52:10,000
It wasn't just his humility that
she could understand. 

802
00:52:10,100 --> 00:52:16,100
She could not register this, 
passionate display of worship So

803
00:52:16,200 --> 00:52:18,300
because we read it early on 
right and verse 16. 

804
00:52:18,300 --> 00:52:21,900
That when she saw King, David 
leaping and dancing before the 

805
00:52:21,900 --> 00:52:24,600
Lord, she despised him in her 
heart. 

806
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,900
This is like a deep content. 
This was like a bitterness and 

807
00:52:29,900 --> 00:52:35,100
she looked at him dancing and 
leaping and she goes, that is so

808
00:52:35,100 --> 00:52:41,400
strange, that's actually ugly. 
For what reason? 

809
00:52:44,900 --> 00:52:49,400
Was mija spiritual. 
Now, we can say no based on 

810
00:52:49,400 --> 00:52:50,400
this. 
But how do you know she's not 

811
00:52:50,400 --> 00:52:54,800
spiritual from our previous 
studies Was she a woman who had 

812
00:52:54,800 --> 00:52:57,000
the sermon? 
Was she a woman who had genuine 

813
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:04,900
love for God. 
Think about think about how we 

814
00:53:04,900 --> 00:53:08,700
have Clues throughout her life. 
That indicate that on a 

815
00:53:08,707 --> 00:53:18,200
foundational level, she maybe 
even didn't know God, Yes. 

816
00:53:22,000 --> 00:53:24,900
Kill me, she threatened me 
remember when the initial move 

817
00:53:24,900 --> 00:53:28,700
of Saul came against David and 
he escapes and me how lies to 

818
00:53:28,700 --> 00:53:30,800
her dad? 
Says look, I had I was left with

819
00:53:30,800 --> 00:53:32,700
no option. 
He wanted to hurt me but 

820
00:53:32,700 --> 00:53:34,300
there's, that's right. 
But there's something even 

821
00:53:34,300 --> 00:53:44,600
before that. 
Very good. 

822
00:53:44,600 --> 00:53:49,200
Did you hear that? 
And first Samuel 1913 we took, 

823
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:53,500
we read here that Miguel took an
image and laid it on the bed and

824
00:53:53,500 --> 00:53:57,000
put a pillow of goats hair at 
its head and covered it with the

825
00:53:57,000 --> 00:53:58,400
clothes. 
This was not even like a 

826
00:53:58,400 --> 00:54:03,400
pocket-sized idol that we see in
different parts of scripture. 

827
00:54:03,400 --> 00:54:06,800
Like our sister just said, this 
is like a life-sized one in 

828
00:54:06,800 --> 00:54:11,300
their home and she tucks it into
bed, puts a blanket over. 

829
00:54:11,300 --> 00:54:14,500
It put some goats hair. 
With the hope that when the men 

830
00:54:14,500 --> 00:54:17,800
come Salzman come, it would 
delay them when they realize 

831
00:54:17,800 --> 00:54:19,100
that. 
This is not really David. 

832
00:54:19,600 --> 00:54:21,700
What's an idol doing in your 
house. 

833
00:54:22,300 --> 00:54:25,000
What's a false god doing in your
living room? 

834
00:54:27,800 --> 00:54:31,800
So we have we have great Clues 
to see that this woman even 

835
00:54:31,800 --> 00:54:35,200
early on her life early on in 
her marriage was not a 

836
00:54:35,200 --> 00:54:38,100
God-fearing woman. 
So why would she marry a man? 

837
00:54:38,100 --> 00:54:39,700
Like David? 
David was a man after God's 

838
00:54:39,700 --> 00:54:44,600
heart But was that all David 
was? 

839
00:54:46,800 --> 00:54:50,700
He was famous. 
He was respected in the nation. 

840
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:54,900
He was a military Warrior. 
He was loved. 

841
00:54:55,300 --> 00:54:59,200
He was honored. 
He was good looking handsome, 

842
00:54:59,400 --> 00:55:00,800
right? 
We're told that he was ready 

843
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:04,600
Country Boy. 
Physically fit. 

844
00:55:06,100 --> 00:55:08,300
And she considered all of those 
things. 

845
00:55:10,400 --> 00:55:13,200
And convinced herself to a 
degree, I can tolerate his 

846
00:55:13,200 --> 00:55:24,400
spirituality. so, she thought, 
Let me make this point because 

847
00:55:24,400 --> 00:55:28,400
eventually her lack of regard, 
for the things of God, would 

848
00:55:28,400 --> 00:55:32,900
develop into a lack of respect 
for the man of God, her lack of 

849
00:55:32,900 --> 00:55:35,300
regard, for the things of God, 
would eventually develop into a 

850
00:55:35,300 --> 00:55:37,100
lack of respect for the man of 
God. 

851
00:55:37,800 --> 00:55:41,000
So many of you had a critical 
point in your lives. 

852
00:55:42,100 --> 00:55:44,300
Where you will make the second 
most important decision. 

853
00:55:45,400 --> 00:55:49,600
After choosing to follow Jesus 
Christ as Lord, and it is to 

854
00:55:49,600 --> 00:55:51,700
find a spouse that you can walk 
with. 

855
00:55:52,900 --> 00:55:57,100
And if you want to establish a 
definite path of suffering in 

856
00:55:57,200 --> 00:55:59,000
your life, can I tell you what 
to do? 

857
00:55:59,200 --> 00:56:02,900
So you don't do it. 
Marry someone who does not share

858
00:56:02,900 --> 00:56:04,800
your joy and Delight in the 
things of God. 

859
00:56:07,800 --> 00:56:12,400
Marry somebody who does not 
share your Delight or joy in the

860
00:56:12,400 --> 00:56:15,200
things of God. 
Because I'm telling you right 

861
00:56:15,200 --> 00:56:20,900
now, they might tolerate what 
you have. because of other 

862
00:56:20,900 --> 00:56:24,100
things that they admire about 
you, but when those other things

863
00:56:24,100 --> 00:56:28,200
Fade to have its compelling 
power and they will even though 

864
00:56:28,200 --> 00:56:35,300
if they are looks You're going 
to have a struggle. 

865
00:56:36,900 --> 00:56:43,500
And it's it's a real struggle. 
I know of a story of a man who 

866
00:56:43,500 --> 00:56:47,200
was lukewarm for a great season 
and in his lukewarm season of 

867
00:56:47,200 --> 00:56:51,600
life, he chose to got married. 
Only for his heart to be 

868
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:55,500
rekindled and for him to be 
passionate about God, but guess 

869
00:56:55,500 --> 00:56:56,900
what? 
It didn't happen to the woman 

870
00:56:56,900 --> 00:57:00,200
that he married. 
There's a lot of struggle there.

871
00:57:01,100 --> 00:57:05,400
It's difficult. now that won't 
pain you if you're lukewarm and 

872
00:57:05,400 --> 00:57:07,400
you marry somebody else's 
lukewarm if your nominal 

873
00:57:07,400 --> 00:57:09,700
Christian or somebody else and 
somebody else has a nominal 

874
00:57:09,700 --> 00:57:12,000
Christian but if you're devoted 
to the advancement of the 

875
00:57:12,008 --> 00:57:15,500
kingdom of God, if you actually 
take delight and pleasure and 

876
00:57:15,500 --> 00:57:18,000
worshiping the Lord being with 
God's people being here on a 

877
00:57:18,008 --> 00:57:22,900
Friday night and you choose to 
yoke yourself with someone who's

878
00:57:22,900 --> 00:57:28,200
willing to just tolerate that 
and doesn't share in that. 

879
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,600
Why would you enter into that 
kind of a covenant? 

880
00:57:32,300 --> 00:57:34,400
Why would you even entertain 
that thought? 

881
00:57:36,700 --> 00:57:40,500
But David and he called me an 
example to you because in verse 

882
00:57:40,500 --> 00:57:43,500
22, I see I see a lesson. 
That's I don't think it's a 

883
00:57:43,500 --> 00:57:46,800
direct lesson, but I think 
there's something there in 

884
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,400
relationship to my point. 
Notice what he says in verse 22,

885
00:57:49,600 --> 00:57:52,800
I'll make myself yet more 
contemptible than this and I 

886
00:57:52,800 --> 00:57:56,500
will be a base in your eyes but 
by the female servers, mm whom 

887
00:57:56,500 --> 00:57:59,300
you have spoken by them. 
I shall be held in honor. 

888
00:58:00,100 --> 00:58:01,800
So we have an argument. 
Here we have a husband and wife 

889
00:58:01,800 --> 00:58:05,000
arguing, right? 
And notice what he says, he goes

890
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,200
yes, since you brought the 
female servants, right? 

891
00:58:07,200 --> 00:58:11,100
The lowliest positions in the 
Kingdom, since you brought them 

892
00:58:11,100 --> 00:58:14,800
up, let me put it this way. 
You might despise me because I'm

893
00:58:14,800 --> 00:58:18,400
not changing, but I'm going to 
be held in honor in their eyes. 

894
00:58:18,400 --> 00:58:23,200
And here's the point that I make
better to be with someone who is

895
00:58:23,500 --> 00:58:28,800
low in society, a based 
despised. 

896
00:58:29,500 --> 00:58:34,000
Not famous, not successful, but 
who has an understanding of the 

897
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,800
things of God and to be with a 
queen who is cold and heart 

898
00:58:37,800 --> 00:58:41,400
towards the things of God. 
These female servants they're 

899
00:58:41,400 --> 00:58:43,600
going to honoree because they 
honor God in Me. 

900
00:58:43,600 --> 00:58:48,700
And through me, you you're not, 
I take that to say, okay, then 

901
00:58:48,900 --> 00:58:52,600
who cares who she is? 
Who cares what she can offer you

902
00:58:52,600 --> 00:58:56,700
in the flesh, better to be with 
those who are servants, but who 

903
00:58:56,700 --> 00:59:00,900
love God and serve God, and 
those who have status in Beauty 

904
00:59:00,900 --> 00:59:05,300
and success. 
An intellect, but stink in their

905
00:59:05,300 --> 00:59:08,400
spirituality. 
I hope you take that to heart. 

906
00:59:09,500 --> 00:59:13,900
You know what, the best way to 
deal with slander to Shield your

907
00:59:13,900 --> 00:59:16,900
heart from pain that comes from 
false allegations. 

908
00:59:16,900 --> 00:59:20,000
Look at verse 21 and David said 
to me haul, it was before the 

909
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:22,900
Lord. 
It was before God, I didn't do 

910
00:59:22,900 --> 00:59:26,600
it for what you think. 
I did it men will judge your 

911
00:59:26,600 --> 00:59:31,600
motives you want to serve God. 
Men will judge your motives, 

912
00:59:31,900 --> 00:59:34,400
which is a something that no 
Christian should do no matter 

913
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,200
how tempted you are to. 
Look at someone judge their 

914
00:59:36,200 --> 00:59:38,000
motives. 
The Bible says, don't you dare 

915
00:59:38,000 --> 00:59:39,200
do it. 
He will do it. 

916
00:59:39,200 --> 00:59:42,000
That's his job. 
But if you want to guard your 

917
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:45,800
heart from the slashes of 
slander, just be convinced of 

918
00:59:45,800 --> 00:59:47,600
what you're doing and who you're
doing it for. 

919
00:59:48,300 --> 00:59:50,800
That's it. 
I know I did it before God. 

920
00:59:50,800 --> 00:59:53,400
I know I'm Doing it for God. 
So it doesn't matter what you 

921
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:57,900
think, doesn't matter what your 
opinion is and also be Resolute.

922
00:59:57,900 --> 01:00:02,800
Be Concrete in your conviction, 
that no matter what, criticism 

923
01:00:02,800 --> 01:00:06,200
you have, coming your way, no 
matter what kind of persecution 

924
01:00:06,200 --> 01:00:08,400
arises? 
No matter who says what, look, 

925
01:00:08,400 --> 01:00:10,300
what David says that the last 
part of verse 21? 

926
01:00:10,500 --> 01:00:12,500
I will celebrate before the 
Lord. 

927
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:16,700
I ain't changing. 
If anything, I'm on the way to 

928
01:00:16,700 --> 01:00:21,100
greater greater love for him. 
Be immovable. 

929
01:00:23,300 --> 01:00:27,500
Sometimes, sometimes I drive. 
Or sometimes I watch something 

930
01:00:27,500 --> 01:00:30,100
and I see like a stadium filled 
with people and I look at 

931
01:00:30,100 --> 01:00:33,500
different news things and I see 
this crowd of people and I think

932
01:00:33,500 --> 01:00:36,500
to myself as much as we are 
created in the image of God, 

933
01:00:36,600 --> 01:00:43,000
these are all Jars of Clay like 
they're all just particles of 

934
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:47,100
dust gathered together 
beautifully but in a moment and 

935
01:00:47,100 --> 01:00:50,300
it just one final breath. 
They go back to the very dust 

936
01:00:50,300 --> 01:00:52,400
that they were made from and I 
care about these people's 

937
01:00:52,400 --> 01:00:55,900
opinions. 
This is who I am afraid of 

938
01:00:56,300 --> 01:01:01,400
disappointing in my Pursuit Of 
God may it never be, may it 

939
01:01:01,400 --> 01:01:04,400
never be. 
We're just a bunch of creative 

940
01:01:04,400 --> 01:01:08,800
being stuffed in a Celestial 
ball and I'm more worried about 

941
01:01:09,100 --> 01:01:12,400
what they have to say more than 
the one who created all things 

942
01:01:12,400 --> 01:01:14,900
with his breath. 
Let me break. 

943
01:01:15,600 --> 01:01:18,000
May God give us a Sanctified 
view of who he is and who we 

944
01:01:18,000 --> 01:01:20,600
are. 
So what happens? 

945
01:01:21,200 --> 01:01:24,300
They get into an argument. 
And interestingly, as we brought

946
01:01:24,300 --> 01:01:28,700
up in verse 23 and Michal the 
daughter of Saul had no child to

947
01:01:28,707 --> 01:01:32,200
the day of her death, you heard 
me say it earlier can be 

948
01:01:32,200 --> 01:01:36,500
interpreted one or two ways that
God was the source, the divine 

949
01:01:36,500 --> 01:01:40,100
intervention, that judged her, 
by sealing her womb, or this was

950
01:01:40,100 --> 01:01:42,100
David saying, I refrained 
myself. 

951
01:01:42,700 --> 01:01:44,900
I'm not going to be intimate 
with somebody like you and he 

952
01:01:44,900 --> 01:01:47,900
could have had a strategic 
perspective on that. 

953
01:01:48,800 --> 01:01:52,700
Which based on this I can see 
why like he looks at me. 

954
01:01:52,700 --> 01:01:55,300
Ha and the way she responds she 
was, I've seen this before. 

955
01:01:56,400 --> 01:02:00,800
Saul. 
Like like father like daughter, 

956
01:02:00,800 --> 01:02:02,800
I just like it didn't change. 
You're not the person that I 

957
01:02:02,800 --> 01:02:05,300
thought you were you're just 
you're spitting image of who he 

958
01:02:05,300 --> 01:02:07,300
is. 
I don't want to spawn that. 

959
01:02:07,300 --> 01:02:10,500
I don't want to reproduce that, 
just going to be headache. 

960
01:02:11,300 --> 01:02:16,500
And so he Reserves. 
His participation and what can 

961
01:02:16,500 --> 01:02:20,900
make reproduction possible 
regardless of where you stand? 

962
01:02:20,900 --> 01:02:22,700
I think a spiritual lesson from 
this truth. 

963
01:02:23,700 --> 01:02:26,600
Here it is Michal. 
The daughter of Saul had no 

964
01:02:26,600 --> 01:02:31,900
child to the day of her death, 
those who Have the character of 

965
01:02:31,900 --> 01:02:34,600
me, call will experience. 
What? 

966
01:02:34,600 --> 01:02:37,900
Me call experience physically on
a spiritual level? 

967
01:02:37,900 --> 01:02:42,200
They will become fruitless. 
They will become fruitless. 

968
01:02:43,800 --> 01:02:45,900
When you don't have an 
understanding of what true 

969
01:02:45,900 --> 01:02:50,000
worship is, when you'd have no 
priority about pursuing worship 

970
01:02:50,000 --> 01:02:53,400
of living in that kind of 
worship, you will have nothing 

971
01:02:53,400 --> 01:02:57,400
to offer God and you will have 
nothing to offer your fellow 

972
01:02:57,400 --> 01:03:03,400
man. 
So I'm very concerned about 

973
01:03:03,400 --> 01:03:08,500
those who are gifted in the 
ability to criticize and condemn

974
01:03:08,500 --> 01:03:13,800
others. 
And I don't ever want to come to

975
01:03:13,800 --> 01:03:15,300
the place. 
I know it may cause an extreme 

976
01:03:15,300 --> 01:03:18,200
example because she despised the
concept of Passion worship 

977
01:03:18,200 --> 01:03:22,300
altogether but she clearly 
lacked fervency and Zeal and 

978
01:03:22,300 --> 01:03:24,900
passion and there was a 
connection between that and her 

979
01:03:24,900 --> 01:03:27,600
not being able to have a child. 
There's a connection between 

980
01:03:27,600 --> 01:03:31,400
that kind of an attitude and not
being able to Bear good genuine,

981
01:03:31,600 --> 01:03:37,000
eternally rewarded fruit. 
I don't want to be fruitless I 

982
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:42,000
don't want something in me to 
stop the reality of Life 

983
01:03:42,100 --> 01:03:46,300
spiritual life issuing from me. 
I hope you feel the same way. 

984
01:03:46,800 --> 01:04:12,800
Let's pray. 
Lord, we We know that we don't 

985
01:04:12,800 --> 01:04:15,700
give you the praise and worship 
that you always deserve. 

986
01:04:16,700 --> 01:04:20,600
But we want to be worshippers 
not just when something 

987
01:04:20,600 --> 01:04:26,200
spectacular happens from the 
heavens into our own world, the 

988
01:04:26,200 --> 01:04:27,500
lord. 
When we look out to our fellow 

989
01:04:27,500 --> 01:04:32,200
man, help us be worshippers help
us be a Living Sacrifice and 

990
01:04:32,200 --> 01:04:35,800
then we go home. 
Lord may we learn how to First 

991
01:04:35,800 --> 01:04:41,500
be Godly in our households? 
We know it's not easy. 

992
01:04:41,500 --> 01:04:43,100
Lord. 
We know that we are guard is 

993
01:04:43,100 --> 01:04:47,800
down at homes. 
Lord, we know that we're tired. 

994
01:04:47,800 --> 01:04:54,300
When we go home, we know that. 
It's much easier to fool others 

995
01:04:54,300 --> 01:04:57,000
than to fool those that are 
closest to us. 

996
01:04:57,000 --> 01:05:01,300
But, oh God, it's possible. 
And we pray that if Maranatha 

997
01:05:01,300 --> 01:05:05,200
Bible Church has any role to 
play that it would be a 

998
01:05:05,200 --> 01:05:09,500
contribution to the joy and love
for you that would bring 

999
01:05:09,500 --> 01:05:14,700
something of blessing to our 
homes and we pray that the homes

1000
01:05:14,700 --> 01:05:19,100
that are represented here with a
various circumstances that they 

1001
01:05:19,100 --> 01:05:22,900
each represent. 
Would return that blessing to 

1002
01:05:22,900 --> 01:05:27,400
this ministry as a collection of
families to honor and glorify 

1003
01:05:27,400 --> 01:05:32,400
you. 
Lord, may we be true worshipers 

1004
01:05:33,900 --> 01:05:39,400
with our bodies with our singing
with our serving. with our 

1005
01:05:39,400 --> 01:05:48,200
reactions with our pre-emptive 
plans, Lord just Cover us with 

1006
01:05:48,200 --> 01:05:51,100
the holy spirit's help. 
Empower we love you. 

1007
01:05:51,100 --> 01:05:55,900
Lord. 
And we want to be the passionate

1008
01:05:55,900 --> 01:05:59,500
worshippers that you've called 
us to be, if David could be so 

1009
01:05:59,500 --> 01:06:03,800
passionate and the old Covenant,
how much more us in a more 

1010
01:06:03,800 --> 01:06:08,400
glorious Covenant law, we give 
you all that praise tonight. 

1011
01:06:08,700 --> 01:06:09,600
In Jesus name,
