Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    Awaken the Spirit    Christina walking past my door     The river of God… The Mississippi River John 7:38 He who believes in, out of his heart shall flow rivers of living water. The very next verse (John 7:39) explicitly identifies this river: "But this He spoke concerning the Spirit, whom those believing in Him would receive..."   John 4:14 a fountain of living water - the Holy Spirit     Why does the spirit dry up - how do we awaken the spirit?   1 Cor. 2:14 But people who aren't spiritual can't receive these truths from God's Spirit. It all sounds foolish to them and they can't understand it, for only those who are spiritual can understand what the Spirit means. 15 Those who are spiritual can evaluate all things, but they themselves cannot be evaluated by others. 16 For, “Who can know the Lord's thoughts?     Who knows enough to teach him?”[h] But we understand these things, for we have the mind of Christ.     **Here Paul talks about how the sinful man/unspiritual can't understand the spiritual realm.  BUT HE GOES ON IN CHAPTER 3… Stating that there are some Christians that cannot understand the spiritual realm due to living in their flesh.  Chapter 3 3 Dear brothers and sisters, when I was with you I couldn't talk to you as I would to spiritual people. I had to talk as though you belonged to this world or as though you were infants in Christ. 2 I had to feed you with milk, not with solid food, because you weren't ready for anything stronger. And you still aren't ready, 3 for you are still controlled by your sinful nature.      CONTROLLED BY THE FLESH…. VS. CONTROLLED BY THE HOLY SPIRIT  

We can expect to face temptation in the Christian life. But in this encouraging episode, Pastor Greg Laurie not only reminds us victory is possible—but shows us exactly how to obtain it. Today, we look to Jesus as our inspiration for overcoming temptation. Notes We belong to God 1 Cor 6:19–20 — “You are not your own, for you were bought with a price.” Temptation/testing can produce good James 1:12 — “God blesses those who patiently endure testing and temptation.” When does temptation often come? Frequently after great spiritual blessing (e.g., after Jesus’ baptism → wilderness temptation). Where does temptation come from? We play a key role in our own temptation. Where there is no desire on our part, there is no temptation. James 1:14–15 (NKJV) Temptation always starts in the realm of your mind. Best place to be when temptation comes? In the will of God. Primary weapon against temptation? The Word of God.

It's often said that “people hate change”. Perhaps, but one thing is for sure: we love the NEW. The smell of a new car, the bells and whistles of a new phone, the excitement of a new relationship, the hope and promise of a new year. And it's especially true when it comes to our spiritual lives: we delight in God's “new mercies every morning” (Lam 3:23); we respond by “sing[ing] unto the Lord a new song” (Ps 96:1); most of all, we rejoice that in Christ, we are “a new creation. The old has passed away; behold, the new has come!” (2 Cor 5:17). Join us for this sermon as we trace this theme of newness throughout the entire story of Scripture, praising the God who is “making all things new” (Rev 21:5).

Garth Heckman The David Alliance TDAgiantSlayer@Gmail.com    11,000     Paul says, “We fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen… what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.” (2 Cor. 4:18)     * Feelings are real—but they aren't final. Circumstances are loud—but they aren't lasting. HOWEVER * God's promises are unseen—but they are eternal.     **Eternal thinking stabilizes emotional living.**     Maybe the best question we can ask when at the crossroads of a decision is this “what is the eternal consequence of this?”     **The old saying “if consequences were immediate there would be very few bad decisions”.  One donut, 200 pounds One cigarette, cancer One charge, in debt beyond control One quiet time skipped, backslidden One temper tantrum, in prison One drink, alcoholism One drug, addiction    WARNING: The eternal is not immediate but the consequences are!     2 Your Life Is Short,  But It Is Not Small   **Scripture:** Psalm 90:12   Moses says, “Teach us to number our days.” Not to depress us—but to **focus us**.   22,116 days… that is how many days I have been alive!  So realistically I only have about 11K days left to live.      The Bible says life is:   * a mist * a vapor * a breath   But it never says life is meaningless.   Illustration: The Dash on the Tombstone   On every gravestone there's a birth date, a death date, and a dash in between.   That dash represents:   * your choices * your faithfulness * your obedience your love   THAT DASH EQUALS THE AMOUNT OF ETERNITY YOU HAVE SOWN YOUR LIFE INTO.    Short doesn't mean insignificant.   Application:   * Ordinary obedience has eternal weight.     **A short life lived for God becomes a long story in eternity.**

I WAS LOOKING AT THE FLEETING.      If eternity is real—and the Bible says it is—then living only for the moment- THE FLEETING is the most dangerous way to live.     1  Eternity Is More Real  Than the Moment   **Scripture:** 2 Corinthians 4:18   Paul doesn't say the visible world isn't real—he says it's **temporary**. Temporary doesn't mean unimportant. It means *not ultimate*… NOT THE PURPOSE   Going on a cruise in 2 weeks… my wife “what are you going to pack”. My wife packs for a month if we stay 3 days in a hotel…   Illustration: The Hotel Room   You treat a hotel room differently than your house. You don't remodel it. You don't get a bigger TV for it You don't hang family portraits. You don't panic if something breaks.   Why? Because you know **you're not staying long**.   Many of us are rearranging furniture in a world we were never meant to settle in.

Él los incluía entre aquellos que “nunca me vieron” (Col. 2:1). No obstante, Pablo les aseguró, como a los filipenses, que “siempre” daba gracias a Dios por ellos en sus oraciones. Lee Colosenses 1:3-8. ¿Por qué tres cosas agradece Pablo a Dios? Pablo reúne las tres virtudes que menciona en otros lugares: fe, esperanza y amor (ver 1 Cor. 13:13; 1 Tes. 1:3; 5:8). Nota que Pablo no atribuye estas virtudes a los colosenses, sino que da gracias al Padre por ellas, pues se cuentan entre las dádivas o dones “buenos y perfectos” que recibimos de él (Sant. 1:17). El amor que Dios siente por nosotros nos conduce a la fe en Cristo (Efe. 2:4-8) y a la esperanza del Cielo, que Pedro describe como “una herencia que nunca puede perecer, ni contaminarse, ni marchitarse, reservada en el cielo para ustedes” (1 Ped. 1:4). Pablo también subraya que el evangelio es digno de confianza porque se basa en “la palabra de verdad”, una expresión que Pablo utiliza en otros lugares para referirse a la palabra inspirada de Dios (ver 2 Cor. 6:7; 2 Tim. 2:15). A diferencia de “la palabra de los hombres”, aquella “actúa” eficazmente en quienes creen (1 Tes. 2:13) y cumple la voluntad de Dios (Isa. 55:11). Así, cuando se proclama el evangelio, el poder de Dios se manifiesta mediante la obra del Espíritu Santo en los corazones de quienes oyen y responden. El propio evangelio produce ese fruto porque es “palabra de vida” (Fil. 2:16). Quizá lo más asombroso sea la propagación del evangelio en un lapso tan breve. Unos treinta años después de la muerte y la resurrección de Cristo, Pablo ya podía decir que se había extendido “a todo el mundo” (Col. 1:6). Un poco más adelante, en el mismo capítulo, el apóstol dice que el evangelio “es predicado a toda criatura que está debajo del cielo” (Col. 1:23). La extensa red de carreteras romanas hizo posible la celeridad en la comunicación y los viajes rápidos, y así fue como las epístolas de Pablo pudieron circular tan amplia y velozmente. Sin embargo, el poder de Dios que actúa a través del mensaje de la verdad es lo que hace nacer la vida espiritual en las personas (Sant. 1:18; 1 Ped. 1:23) y las convierte en nuevas criaturas en Cristo (2 Cor. 5:17). En Colosenses 1:5, Pablo se refiere a “la esperanza que les está guardada en el cielo”. ¿Cómo interpretas esa esperanza y por qué se aplica a ti, aunque seas realmente indigno?

I understand that I have a few things in my life that motivate me and give me energy.

Matthew 3:1-6, 13-17; John 3:22-30; 4:1-3 John the Baptist was called by God to initiate a renewal movement within Israel, featuring repentance through baptism in water. Even though he had no sin, Jesus came to John to “fulfill all righteousness.” Jesus also baptized many, acting through his disciples. Luke 3:15-17; John 15:26; Luke 24:49; Acts 1:4-8; 2:1-4, 32-33 John's prophecy about Jesus was that he would baptize people with the holy spirit. Jesus reiterated this promise at the last supper and shortly before his ascension. On the day of Pentecost, Jesus poured out the spirit on those who believed. Acts 2:37-41; 8:12-13, 36-38; 9:18 (22:16); 10:44-48; 16:14-15, 33; 18:8; 19:1-7; 1 Cor 1:13-17 Baptizing new converts in water was standard operating procedure in the early church. Baptism in water went hand in hand with receiving the holy spirit as demonstrated by Peter's instruction on the day of Pentecost to (1) repent, (2) be baptized, and they would (3) receive the spirit. Romans 6:1-4; Colossians 2:12 Baptism is a symbolic ceremony that affords people a physical experience to identify with Christ's death and resurrection. They symbolically experience burial and resurrection. Although baptism is not necessary for salvation, it is a helpful opportunity for the repentant to make a public profession of faith and commitment. Sean Finnegan uses the Bible version NRSVUEThe post Baptism of Repentance first appeared on Living Hope.

Comment s'assoir à table, sortir d'une voiture avec élégance, engager la conversation, remercier ? Si ces questions semblent sortir d'un autre temps, les contenus consacrés aux bonnes manières cartonnent sur les plateformes TikTok ou Instagram. Preuve que le savoir-vivre n'est pas réservé qu'à une élite et que les « soft skills » constituent des passeports puissants pour naviguer d'une culture à une autre. Une manière de donner une bonne image de soi, de respecter l'autre et de lutter contre le déterminisme social, le tout dans la bonne humeur. Pour ceux qui ont déjà été dérangés par la conversation téléphonique d'un voisin hurlant dans les transports ou pour les autres qui peinent à rédiger correctement leurs e-mails, la mission est d'intérêt public. Mais en conditionnant les comportements, les bonnes manières assignent aussi les hommes et les femmes à un rôle bien précis. Vouloir faire des femmes, de parfaites hôtesses, bien habillées, maniant l'art de la conversation et de la discrétion est-il compatible avec leur émancipation hors du foyer ? Comment expliquer le succès des contenus consacrés à la bienséance ? Comment faire rentrer les bonnes manières dans le XIXe siècle ?   Avec : • Carmel Assa Kibambo,  juriste en droits des affaires, créatrice de contenus, connue sous le pseudonyme  @carmelassak sur les réseaux sociaux.

====================================================SUSCRIBETEhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCNpffyr-7_zP1x1lS89ByaQ?sub_confirmation=1==================================================== LECCIÓN DE ESCUELA SABÁTICA         I TRIMESTRE DEL 2026Narrado por: Eddie RodriguezDesde: Guatemala, GuatemalaUna cortesía de DR'Ministries y Canaan Seventh-Day Adventist ChurchLUNES 05 DE ENEROLOS PEDIDOS DE PABLO EN ORACIÓN Hace algunos años, un pastor hablaba de las oraciones que giran en torno a quien ora y sus necesidades o deseos. Las caracterizó acertadamente como “pequeñas oraciones egoístas”, ya que Dios tiene en mente cosas más grandes que esas para sus hijos. Lee la oración de Pablo en Filipenses 1:9-11. ¿En qué se centra y qué grandes peticiones incluye? ¿Qué te dice eso acerca de la oración? Esta oración solo tiene 43 palabras en griego, pero abarca todo lo que Pablo anhela que caracterice a los creyentes: amor, conocimiento, discernimiento, sinceridad, irreprochabilidad y justicia por medio de Jesucristo. En esta oración, así como en las anteriores expresiones de gratitud de Pablo, subyace un énfasis en la iglesia en su conjunto. La oración del apóstol está totalmente centrada en los demás, en el conjunto de los creyentes y en su bienestar. Veamos más detenidamente algunos de los elementos individuales de la oración: Amor. Pablo no solo pide más amor, sino un amor encaminado en una dirección específica: “En conocimiento verdadero y en todo discernimiento” (Fil. 1:9; LBLA). La referencia al conocimiento no se refiere a algo meramente intelectual, sino que implica una comprensión de las cosas espirituales que solo puede adquirirse mediante la comunión con Dios y el estudio de su Palabra (ver Efe. 1:17; 4:13; 1 Tim. 2:4). Discernimiento. Para Pablo, esto significa ser capaz de “aprobar lo mejor o excelente” (en contraste con lo moralmente perjudicial) y ser “sinceros y sin culpa”; es decir, irreprochables (Fil. 1:10). Sinceridad. La palabra griega así traducida significa “juzgado por la luz del sol” y se refiere a una intachable pureza de acción: “Todo cuanto hacen los cristianos debe ser transparente como la luz del Sol” (Elena de White, Reflejemos a Jesús [Boise, ID: Pacific Press, 1985], p. 63). Sin culpa. Esto significa no ser piedra de tropiezo, no decir ni hacer nada que haga más difícil que una persona crea. Justicia por medio de Jesucristo. Pablo se detiene largamente en esto en las epístolas de Romanos y Gálatas, y lo ampliará también en Filipenses 3. No tenemos justicia propia, sino solo la que recibimos por medio de Cristo. ¿Cómo puede nuestro amor “abundar aún más y más” (Fil. 1:9)? ¿Por qué es esto tan importante para la vida cristiana? (Ver también 1 Cor. 13:1-8).

In this episode of the Federal Help Center Podcast, Eric Coffie breaks down one of the most dangerous mistakes contractors make when bidding on government work: overpromising what they can't realistically deliver. From unrealistic response times and staffing promises to inflated delivery schedules and "state-of-the-art" claims that don't yet exist, Eric explains how desperation to win can quietly sabotage performance after award. He also unpacks how this behavior raises red flags for evaluators—especially in Lowest Price Technically Acceptable (LPTA) procurements—where honesty and compliance matter far more than flashy narratives. The conversation also dives into a second critical issue: misunderstanding the evaluation method. Eric explains why contractors often waste time and money submitting bloated, over-engineered proposals for LPTA contracts—only to lose to a lean, compliant bid with a lower price. If you want to protect your reputation, avoid performance failures, and bid smarter, this episode is a must-listen. Key Takeaways Overpromising creates performance risk — Unrealistic staffing, response times, or delivery schedules can lead to COR issues, contract discrepancies, or termination for default. Honesty beats hype in LPTA bids — Inflated claims don't earn extra credit; evaluators only care if you meet requirements at the lowest acceptable price. Match your proposal to the evaluation method — In LPTA, "acceptable is acceptable." A shorter compliant proposal will beat a bloated one every time if the price is lower.

The Lord’s Supper is not a mere ritual. Nor is it empty symbolism. It’s the “Gospel made visible,” as Gerhardus Vos once said. Consider these six elements: (1) The Lord's Supper proclaims the substitutionary atonement of Jesus Christ (1 Cor. 11:24-25); (2) it is given for our spiritual nourishment and growth and grace (John 6:35, 57); (3) it confirms our union and communion with Christ (John 15:4); (4) it renews our thankfulness and our commitment to God (Ps. 50:14); (5) it declares our love and fellowship with one another (1 Cor. 10:17); and; (6) it points us to the Second Coming of Christ (1 Cor. 11:26).

Esto no tiene absolutamente nada que ver con la práctica de la iglesia romana de canonizar a las personas como “santos”. También es interesante el paralelismo entre los saludos de estas dos epístolas. Pablo se refiere a “obispos (griego episkopos, literalmente: “supervisores”) y diáconos” (Fil. 1:1) en Filipos y a “hermanos santos y fieles en Cristo” (Col. 1:2) en Colosas. Cuando el Nuevo Testamento habla de “hermanos fieles”, se refiere a quienes tienen un ministerio específico en la iglesia (ver Efe. 6:21; Col. 4:7; 1 Ped. 5:12). Por lo tanto, parece que Pablo se está dirigiendo no solo a los miembros de la iglesia en estas ciudades, sino también a sus líderes. La referencia a cargos descritos más específicamente en otros lugares (por ejemplo, en 1 Tim. 3:1-12; Tito 1:5-9) da testimonio de la existencia y la importancia de la organización desde el período más temprano de la iglesia. Formar colaboradores como Timoteo y Epafras y proveer para el liderazgo de las iglesias locales era una prioridad para Pablo, pues ello le permitía extender su alcance evangelizador. En otras palabras, había un enfoque estratégico tanto para la evangelización como para la retención. Nuestros pioneros adventistas siguieron el modelo neotestamentario de organización eclesiástica, como muestran muchos artículos de la Review and Herald de la década de 1850. De hecho, Jaime White dijo: “El orden divino del Nuevo Testamento es suficiente para organizar la iglesia de Cristo. Si se necesitara más, habría sido provisto por inspiración” (“Gospel Order”, Review and Herald, 6 de diciembre de 1853, p. 173). Mucho antes de que Pablo escribiera a estas iglesias, los apóstoles ya habían comenzado a establecer oficiales en la iglesia de Jerusalén (ver Hech. 6:1-6; 11:30), la cual “debía servir de modelo para [...] las iglesias que se establecieran en muchos otros puntos donde los mensajeros de la verdad trabajasen para ganar conversos al evangelio” (Elena de White, Los hechos de los apóstoles [Florida: ACES, 2009] p. 76). Es bien sabido que Pablo utilizó a veces ayudantes literarios en la composición de sus epístolas. Timoteo es también mencionado como asistente editorial en otros lugares (ver, por ejemplo, 2 Cor. 1:1; File. 1:1). El hecho de que Pablo siguiera usando tácitamente el pronombre de primera persona singular (“yo”) en lugar de “nosotros” demuestra que su autoridad apostólica respaldaba estas epístolas.

In this episode of Remnant Radio, we debunk the“prophetic words” from Jeremiah Johnson. Joined by guest co-host JonMark Baker with the Minor Prophets Podcast and Michael Miller, we clarify up front that this is not a cessationist critique—everyone on the panel affirms and practices continuationist gifts, including prophecy. Our aim is to model biblical “testing and weighing” (1 Cor. 14:29; 1 Thess. 5:19–22) for the health of the church.We walk through multiple clips from Johnson's “2025” prophecy, assessing whether the claims are genuinely prophetic, testable, and rooted in sound exegesis—or whether they function as “words of obvious,” built from current events and broadly plausible predictions. We also address methodological red flags, including numerology-style reasoning, vague claims that cannot be meaningfully verified, and the way certain segments appear to preempt criticism by framing accusations as “Leviathan” twisting words. Along the way, we discuss the importance of judging not only the content of a prophetic word but also the prophet's credibility and fruit, especially when public prophecy has a track record of harm, manipulation, or failed predictions.How to Test Prophecy Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLMsjeViSScFHAxEWVUTMiJvLHWHF7hOE1 Join the conversation, test everything, and hold fast to what is good.00:00 Introduction02:15 Why charismatics must test prophecy04:30 How bad prophecy damages the church07:15 Trump as a “wartime president” prophecy10:05 Assassination warnings and predictable claims11:55 Israel conflict prophecy evaluated12:50 Candace Owens “Spirit of Jehu” prophecy14:40 Kanye West prophecy that backfired16:15 Mike Bickle and “passing the crown” prophecy19:05 Explaining “words of obvious”20:55 Can this be Googled?

God created trees. He made them for us: for home building, decoration, shade, construction of fences, tables, chairs, sheds, and so much more. Just because pagans might have carved up a tree to make an image of a false god to be worshipped does not mean that we can't use them to celebrate the birth of Jesus Christ, God's "indescribable gift" to us (2 Cor. 9:15).

Decía: "El tiempo se ha cumplido y ya está cerca el reino de Dios. Convertíos y creed en la buena noticia"» (Mar. 1: 14-15, LP).Según el Evangelio de Marcos, estas son las primeras palabras de la predicación pública de Jesús, contenedoras, sin duda, de la esencia de su mensaje. El término griego para decir «tiempo» en esta frase no es el clásico cronos, vocablo que describe el tiempo que se puede medir con nuestros instrumentos, como recuerda en español la palabra «cronómetro». El tiempo al que Jesús se refiere pertenece a otra categoría, para la que el evangelista, sin duda basado en la intención de la predicación original, ha escogido el término kairos, que significa un tiempo calificado como 'el momento propicio.De acuerdo con los designios de Dios, la venida de Jesús trae consigo a este mundo un nuevo tiempo, el del reino de Dios que se acerca, el de un evento transcendental que modifica el desarrollo de la historia, el tiempo de nuestros calendarios y el curso de nuestras vidas (Rom. 3: 26; 5: 6).Hablando de ese kairos, Dios había comprometido su palabra con una extraordinaria promesa: «Yo os visitaré [...]. Porque yo sé los pensamientos que tengo acerca de vosotros, dice Jehová, pensamientos de paz [...] para daros un porvenir y una esperanza. Entonces me invocaréis [...] y yo os escucharé. Me buscaréis y me hallaréis, porque me buscaréis de todo vuestro corazón» (Jer. 29: 10-13 RV1977).A partir de la venida de Jesús hay un «tiempo favorable» que es preciso aprovechar. La noción de kairos pone en el tiempo de nuestros relojes y de nuestras agendas una dimensión de urgencia: tenemos que tomar decisiones y actuar sin demora. El apóstol Pablo lo dirá con toda la claridad posible: «Ahora es el tiempo aceptable (kairos); ahora es el día de salvación» (2 Cor. 6: 2).¿Y si hoy fuera precisamente el kairos de nuestra vida? ¿Y si este fuera el momento adecuado, el tiempo propicio, y hasta urgente, para tomar una decisión importante, capaz de cambiar nuestra orientación vital, nuestro enfoque de trabajo, o algo esencial en nuestros proyectos? ¿Hay algún momento más favorable que hoy, al final de este año, para revisar nuestra relación con Dios y abrazar sus buenas noticias de salvación?El antiguo dicho rabínico formula la pregunta en estos términos: «Si tú no, ¿quién? Si ahora no, ¿cuándo?» (Pirke Avot 1: 14).

El primer caso registrado ocurrió en Filipos (Hech. 16:16-24). Más tarde fue encarcelado brevemente en Jerusalén antes de ser trasladado a la prisión de Cesarea. En otro texto, Pablo dice que estaba “en prisión” (File. 1:10, 13). Aunque estaba bajo arresto domiciliario en Roma, era allí acompañado por un soldado romano de elite. Ignacio de Antioquía, un cristiano de principios del siglo II que estuvo en una condición semejante, describió a los soldados romanos como “bestias salvajes […] que cuanto más amablemente se los trata peor se comportan” (Epístola a los Romanos 5.1). Lee 2 Corintios 4:7-12. ¿Qué revela este pasaje acerca de cómo pudo Pablo soportar las pruebas a las que se enfrentó? ¿Cuál era el centro de su vida? Por muy difícil que fuera su vida, Pablo era capaz de ver el lado bueno de las cosas, y eso le daba valor para soportar la tensión. A pesar de que Satanás lo hacía objeto de sus más feroces ataques, Pablo sabía que no estaba desamparado. Lee 2 Corintios 6:3-7. ¿De qué recursos espirituales disponía Pablo para afrontar estas dificultades? A menudo, podemos caer en la tentación de mirar nuestras circunstancias, nuestras debilidades o nuestros fracasos pasados, y desanimarnos. En momentos como esos necesitamos recordar los numerosos recursos que Dios ha provisto para nuestro éxito en la lucha contra el mal. Uno de los más importantes es la Biblia misma, “la palabra de verdad” (2 Tim. 2:15), porque en ella podemos aprender de los errores de otros y cómo estas personas obtuvieron la victoria. Además, el Espíritu Santo “hace eficaz lo que ha sido realizado por el Redentor del mundo. Por medio del Espíritu es purificado el corazón. El creyente llega a ser participante de la naturaleza divina a través del Espíritu. Cristo ha dado su Espíritu como poder divino para vencer todas las tendencias hacia el mal heredadas y cultivadas, y para imprimir su propio carácter en su iglesia” (Elena de White, El Deseado de todas las gentes [Florida: ACES, 2008], p. 625). ¿Cómo podemos presentarnos siempre “en todo como ministros de Dios” (2 Cor. 6:4)? ¿Qué significa esto? 

“Then the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain where Jesus had told them to go. When they saw him, they worshiped him; but some doubted. Then Jesus came to them and said, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age.” – Matt 28:16-20 NIV COMMISSION: • a formal written warrant granting the power to perform various acts or duties • an authorization or command to act in a prescribed manner or to perform prescribed acts • authority to act for, on behalf of, or in place of another • a task or matter entrusted to one as an agent for another Jesus led with his actions, often before ever preaching to people: Fed them (Matthew 14:13-21) Healed them (Matt 9:1-8) Served them (John 2:1-11, John 13:1-17) Spent time and broke bread with them (Matthew 9, Mark 2, Luke 5) Encouraged them (Matthew 11:28 and John 16:33) Defended them (John 8:1-11) Prayed for them (John 17:1-26)  “One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: “Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?” Jesus replied: “‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments.” – Matt 22:35-40 NIV Truth and accountability without a genuine relationship is transactional. It can appear critical and can cause defensiveness. Relationship without truth and accountability is superficial and temporal. It lacks real depth and can lead to the degradation of biblical values, having eternal consequences. “If I speak in the tongues of men or of angels, but do not have love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal.” – 1 Cor 13:1 NIV

AUDIO TRANSCRIPT Good morning, Harvest, and Happy New Year. Open your Bibles, please, to 1 Chronicles,chapter 13. It will be in the Old Testament, 1 Chronicles, chapter 13. If you want, youcan put a little bookmark at chapter 15, because we're going to be looking there briefly aswell. This morning, we're beginning a three-week series on worship. Of course, there are manyways that we worship, prayer, preaching, proclaiming the gospel. I think it's fair to say thatfor everyone who is a believer in Christ, whatever we do is worship. Everything we do shouldbe for the glory of God. There are right ways, and there are wrong ways to worship God. AtHarvest, we follow something known as the regulative principle. That simply means thatif a type of worship is not permitted in Scripture, we don't do it. We don't get to worship Godhowever we want to. We must worship Him in the way that He commands. You may wonder,"Why do we do the things we do here in worship every Sunday? Who makes that up?" Well, it'snot made up. We do what God's word says to. You'll notice that every Sunday, we meettogether. We preach God's word. We read God's word. We pray and we sing. Now, while thoseare ways in which we are commanded to worship, this three-week series is going to focus particularlyon worshiping through music and singing. Our starting point for all three of these messagesis John 4 verses 23 and 24. "But the hour is coming and is now here, when the true worshiperswill worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father is seeking such people to worshipHim. God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." Sowe see that from these verses, the right way to worship God is spirit and truth. In twoweeks, Pastor Taylor is going to cover why worshiping in spirit and truth through musicand song is so important. Next week, Pastor Jeff will take us through what it means toworship in spirit. And then this morning's message is about worshiping God in truth.So here's the point of this week's sermon. "The Lord God Almighty delights to be withus, but we must have regard for His holiness and worship Him according to His commands."You see, when we worship God that way, when we worship God in truth, it means the wordswe sing to and about Him are true. By singing true words about God, we're able to rememberlater what is true. And we learn sound doctrine. If you've ever memorized Scripture throughsinging or you've sung the old hymns that are just chock full of biblical truth, youknow what I mean. When we worship God in truth, the truth fills us with awe. We aremoved emotionally. We're moved physically by the truth that we sing. Now at Harvest,we don't use, you know, strobe lights, flashing lights, fog machines, loud music, and othertactics to manipulate you into thinking that you're worshiping just because you're experiencingone sensory overload after another. But if what we sing is true, then truth will fillus and flow out of us. When we worship God in truth, we recognize that singing His praisesis of the utmost importance to Him. He's worthy of our praises. He's worthy of all our songsabout Him. He commands our praises. He expects it. The Book of Psalms is proof of that. Andwe should therefore make every effort to worship Him the right way because that pleases andglorifies Him. Let's pray. Oh, most gracious God, sovereign of the universe, God most high,you are awesome and mighty, and you are worthy of all praise. You are worthy of all of ourattention. You are worthy of every thought. You are worthy of every song we can sing.Because Lord, you are holy and you dwell in the praises of your people. I pray this morningthat we would overflow in worshipful song because we know the truth. We know the tritetruth of who Jesus Christ is and what He has done for us and that He is in us. And it'sin His great name. We ask it. Amen.Now this morning's passage recounts when David wanted to bring the Ark of the Covenant,the Ark of God, to Jerusalem to be near him. The passage contrasts the wrong way to worshipGod with the right expression of awe and reverence for God Almighty. Before we dive into thismessage, I need to give you some background. We need to do a brief history lesson. So youprobably all know God chose and called the people of Israel out of Egypt so that he couldbe with them. And the primary way that he demonstrated his presence with the peopleof Israel was through a movable tabernacle. That's simply a large tent and it was surroundedby a big fabric courtyard and poles. But inside the tent there were two separate places. Therewas the holy place and that was furnished with the Ark of Incense and a table in which breadwas placed every week and a lamp, a gold lamp to give light. And then on the eastern sideof this tent was basically a cube-shaped area. It was about 15 by 15 by 15. It was a perfectcube and that was the most holy place, the Holy of Holies. And it contained the Arkof the Covenant. In other places in Scripture it's called the Ark of God or the Ark ofTestimony. Now in Exodus 25 God gave some very specific directions for the Ark's constructionand its significance. It was a wooden box. It was about 45 inches long, 27 inches high,27 inches wide. Not that big. And then the wood was overlaid with gold and then on topwas a solid gold lid. It was all hammered out of one piece of gold and there were twocherubim on the top. So this is just a very simple example of what it might look like.We can't really speak in detail now about what the Ark looked like but we have the descriptionin Scripture. Now this lid with the cherubim was also called the Mercy Seat and it wassignificant for several reasons. One, the Lord was said to be enthroned above the cherubim.And two, the Lord spoke to Moses from between the cherubim. And then a third reason is onthe annual day of atonement the high priest would enter the Holy of Holies and he wouldsprinkle blood on the lid to atone for the people's sins. And it's in this way that theLord tabernacled or dwelled between the two cherubim on the lid of the Ark. In this waythe Lord was present with his people and the people knew God was with them because in thedaytime there was a pillar of cloud over the tabernacle and at night it became a pillarof fire and whenever that pillar moved up and forward it was safe for the Levites, thepriests to go in, pack up the Ark, pack up the tabernacle and move it to wherever Godwas leading them. He took them wherever he wanted them to go. Now God also gave veryspecific instructions about how the Ark was to be moved and by whom. Only the Levitesand of the Levites a clan called the Coethites were allowed to carry the holy things includingthe Ark. Now this Ark was meant to be portable. It was carried on poles, passed through goldrings that those rings were attached to the feet of the Ark and in that way the Ark waslifted up over the priests heads when they carried it so all the people could see theArk was with them. Now these poles were never supposed to be removed from the Ark and beforethe Ark was moved it was supposed to be hidden. They put a big goat skin over it and thenthey covered it with a blue cloth and then that's they would pick it up and they wouldmove it. Now let's move ahead in time about 400 years to the end of the period of thejudges in 1 Samuel. At that time there was a man named Eli. He was the high priest andduring this time the Israelites fought a battle against their arch enemies the Philistinesand they were defeated. The Philistines walloped the Israelites and they were like, "Oh whatare we going to do? What are we going to do? Wait no, let's go bring the Ark of the testimonyto us. Let's bring it into the camp with us thinking this will bring us victory." Andthey were instead defeated in a very great slaughter. And Eli's two sons they were killedand the Ark was captured by the Philistines and taken away. When Eli heard his sons weredead and the Ark was captured he fell backwards over on his chair and broke his neck and hedied. This had to be a terribly bleak time for Israel. Their God, their God was captured.They had no priests, they had no prophets and as yet they had no king. Their whole identityas a people has been overthrown in a day. Now the Philistines they took the Ark to thecity of Ashtad and they put it in the temple of their God named Dagon. And the statue ofDagon fell face down in front of the Ark. So they picked him back up and set him upagain. They come in the next day and this time the God Dagon has fallen over again but thistime his head is busted off and his hands are broken off. And something else happens.The Lord begins terrifying the people of Ashtad with plague and tumors and death. So the Philistinesand Ashtad they take the Ark to Gath, another Philistine city. And the people there alsosuffered from plague and tumors and death. So they pick it up and they move it againto the city of Ekron and guess what happens? The people there experience plague, sickness,death. And they go, "Okay, enough of this. Enough of this." They decide to return theArk to Israel after seven months of being afflicted by God. So the Philistines, theysay, "What do we do with this?" They put the Ark on a brand new cart and they hitch it totwo milking cows. And the cows, instead of trying to go back to be with their calves,their babies, they instead they go straight up to a place in Israel called Beth Shemesh.The Israelites at Beth Shemesh, they rejoiced to see the Ark returned. But when some ofthe men of Beth Shemesh apparently looked into the Ark, the Lord struck down 70 of them.So the people of Beth Shemesh asked the people in another town called Keryth Jerem,"Come and get the Ark from us." Which they did. So the men of Keryth Jerem brought the Ark to thehouse of a man named Abinadab. They consecrated his son Eliezer to oversee it. And the Arkremained there, the Bible says, for some 20 years. Now after David becomes king, you know,this is a period of time Saul was king, he is dead, Jonathan is dead, David has become king,he is now established in Jerusalem as his capital. And David's got this idea, he wants to bring theArk of God from Keryth Jerem to Jerusalem. So David gets all the commanders, all the priests,and the Levites together to get their concurrence with his idea. And now we pick up at our accountin Chronicles chapter 13. "Then let us bring again the Ark of our God to us," David says."For we did not seek it in the days of Saul. All the people agreed to do so, for the thing wasright in the eyes of all the people." So David assembled all Israel from the Nile of Egypt toLebohamed to bring the Ark of God from Keryth Jerem. And David and all Israel went up to Bala,that is Keryth Jerem, that belongs to Judah, to bring up from there the Ark of God, which iscalled by the name of the Lord who sits enthroned above the cherubim. And they carried the Ark ofGod on a new cart from the house of Abinadab. And Uzzah and Ohio were driving the cart. And Davidand all Israel were celebrating before God with all their might, with song and liars and harpsand tambourines and symbols and trumpets. So this is quite a procession, quite a big celebration.It brings us to our first point. Good intentions and enthusiasm don't equal true worship.There are some huge red flags in this account. As king, actually David's a prince really,because the Lord is still the true king. You know the Bible calls David King David?He's really a prince of the true king. But as King David wants God's presence near him.The Lord has established David and Jerusalem over Israel and to have the Ark of the Covenantnearby would really cement the relationship between God and the house of David.It was a shrewd religious and political move on David's part.But notice in this account David doesn't seek God's counsel about moving the Ark.David knew what he wanted. And he apparently expected God to bless this plan. It's a goodthing, right? Bring the Ark up to Jerusalem. I mean, after all God had blessed David up to this point.So David just gathers counselors around him to agree with him and they go off and they do justwhatever it is they want to do. And you notice the phrase, "The thing was right in the eyes of allthe people." If you're familiar with the book of Judges, you know there's flashing red lights andwarning sirens going off all over the place. The leaders of Israel may have all agreed,but if something is wrong, widespread agreement doesn't make it right.Not one of the priests, Sir Levite, seemed to have suggested consulting the Lordor the Law of Moses before doing this thing. And then to move the Ark, what do they do?They put it on a cart. "Oh, but it was a new cart," you say. "Well, let's should please the Lord,right? Look, Lord, Lord, Lord, look at this fancy set of wheels we got for you. Aren't you impressed?Finest Cedar from Lebanon. The problem is they're copying the Philistinesrather than consulting God or the Law of Moses." So they got the Ark all loaded up.They got a big procession, almost 30,000 people. Can you imagine? 30,000 people. That's 12,000 morepeople than fit in PPG Paints Arena, just for perspective. 30,000 people with David,and they're celebrating with all their might, and they're singing and praising with lots ofinstruments, the liars, the harps, castanets, cymbals, trumpets. They have every intentionof worshiping the Lord, and they're super enthused. And this is just all quite a spectacle. It looksimpressive. It sounds good, but they're more interested in putting it on a show than worshipingGod. It was more about their worship experience. It was more about what David wanted than worshipingthe Lord. It was more about what they perceived God would approve without confirming than it wasabout worshiping God as he commanded. And that's the core problem here. They're not worshiping theLord the way he commanded. They're not worshiping in truth. They don't even seem to have the slightestinterest in truth. Where? Where was the counsel of the high priest in the Levites? Where was prayerin the simple request, Lord, what do you want? Where are the coethites and the poles to carry theark above the heads of the people? Where is the reverence and the awe due to the Lord?Now, you can manufacture enthusiasm while singing. You know, that's why so many churches, they usethe lights and the fog and the beautiful moving images and the sonic walls of ear-popping soundsand drums and squealing singers gesturing wildly. It looks worshipy. It sounds worshipy. It probablyeven feels worshipy. Therefore, I must be worshiping God. Have you ever heard people say, "Oh, worshiptoday was great." I had a great worship experience. Have you ever said that? Who was it that made itthe worship great? The sonic boom or the truth of God? Did you sing songs about yourself or songsthat praise God's character, mercy, grace, and love? Were you pleased with yourself or did youplease your God by worshiping Him in truth? Now, some of you hearing this are probably congratulatingyourself right now. That's right, Sprunk. That's right. I agree with everything you've said.All that exuberance, it's all fake. It's all performance. I just don't see what all the fussis about. Why? That's why when they're singing going on, I just keep my cool. I keep my reserve.Well, good. If you're thinking along those lines, that's good because this next point is just for youbecause just as good intentions and enthusiasm don't equal true worship, it is perilous to worshipGod carelessly. Look at verse 9. "And when they came to the threshing floor of Chaitan, Azza put outhis hand to take hold of the ark for the oxen stumbled, and the anger of the Lord was kindledagainst Azza, and he struck him down because he put his hand to the ark, and he died there before God.And David was angry because the Lord had broken out against Azza, and that place is called ParisAzza to this day. And David was afraid of God that day, and he said, 'How can I bring the ark of Godhome to me?' So David did not take the ark home into the city of David, but took it aside to thehouse of Obed Edom the Getite. And the ark of God remained with the household of Obed Edom in hishouse three months, and the Lord blessed the household of Obed Edom and all that he had.And we may be shocked that God struck down Azza for touching the ark.I mean, can you imagine this procession of 30,000 people and boom, Azza's dead?Well, that would take the wind out of the celebration, wouldn't it?Try to think what that might have looked like. Well, if you were in Butler on July 18, 2024,and there was an assassination attempt, you probably know what it felt like.If you saw Charlie Kirk murdered, that's what it was like.But God struck Azza down, and you may think, 'Well, what's the big deal? Why did he do that?They were worshiping.' Well, we've seen there were multiple things wrong with the way Davidand the Israelites treated the ark of God. Number one, they copied the Philistines.They're worshiping like pagans, and pagans don't know the truth. They treated the Holy Lord, GodMost High, the Holy Lord of Israel, shabbily. They treated God like baggage in a wooden cart.They were careless and unconcerned whether their worship obeyed the truth or expressed the truth.And we know Israel had a history of careless, half-hearted worship.We saw that in the Book of Judges, the people after they were settled in the land,they became idolatrous and careless in their worship. They served other gods, and they treated the arkas if it was some sort of good luck charm, a lucky rabbit's foot.They had no qualms about taking the ark from the Holy of Holies and carrying it around whereverthey liked. 'Take it down to the battle,' they said. 'God will fight for us,' they said.'You've got another thing coming,' God said. And everything was lost because of their insolence.The Philistines, they thought they had completely defeated the Israelites.'We've captured Israel's God,' they said.'We'll put him in the temple of our God, Dagon, and he'll worship our God,' they said.'You've got another thing coming,' God said. For their insolence, God busted up Dagon andafflicted the Philistines with sickness and death until they sent the ark back to Israelite territory.And after the ark returned to Israel's territory, the people of Beth Shemeshwanted to get a look at the most holy thing in the nation.They treated the ark like a curiosity, as something that they were consecrated and qualifiedto look at. 'Oh, God has returned to us,' they said. 'Let's sacrifice the cows and worship,' they said.'Let's look inside,' they said. 'You've got another thing coming,' God said.And seventy men of Beth Shemesh were struck down for their insolence.And then twenty years after the ark was moved to Curious Gerum, David proposes to bring the arkto Jerusalem. 'God's established me as king over Israel,' he said. 'It's right in our own eyes tobring the ark to Jerusalem,' they said. 'Let's put it on a new cart,' like the Philistines did,they said. 'Let's worship and celebrate with all our might and loud instruments,' they said.'You've got another thing coming,' God said. And as it was struck down for the people's insolence,you see, David and the priests and the Israelites treated God with contempt, and God said, 'Enough.'And David was rightly afraid of God, but no, he was also angry. But it was a self-pityinganger. David was angry because he didn't get his way. He was angry like Cain when God rejectedCain's act of self-centered worship. Angry like someone who knows he hasn't done his best,he hasn't done something right, but he wants approval anyway. But God is not mocked. God wasnot going to allow David and the priests to disobey his commands and still claim that they wereworshiping him properly. We should see that it is perilous to worship God carelessly.David had to learn, and although the text doesn't say, perhaps he repented of his irreverent worship.He was, after all, a man after God's own heart. And when he heard that Obed Edom was blessedby God, he realized it was possible to bring the ark to Jerusalem. But he had to do it the right way.So turn your head to 1 Chronicles 15. We're going to look at verses 11 through 15.Then David summoned the priests Zadok and Abayathar and the Levites, Uriel, Asiah, Joel,Shamiah, Eliel and Abinadab, and said to them, "You are the heads of the Father's houses of the Levites.Consecrate yourselves, you and your brothers, so that you may bring up the ark of the Lord,the God of Israel, to the place I have prepared for it. Because you did not carry it the first timethe Lord our God broke out against us, because we did not seek him according to the rule."So the priests and the Levites consecrated themselves to bring up the ark of the Lord,the God of Israel. And the Levites carried the ark of God on their shoulders with the poles,as Moses had commanded according to the word of the Lord.This time David does it the right way. The priests consecrate themselves. They preparethrough sacrifice and washing and abstaining from anything that would make them ritually unclean.Each one got himself ready for worship. They follow the Lord's command when they carry the ark.They lift up the ark and they revere the Lord as holy in the sight of all the people.In short, they now worship according to the word of the Lord. And the Lord showed he was pleasedwith their reverence by allowing David to finally bring the ark to Jerusalem.Likewise, when we worship the Lord in truth and according to his command, he is pleased.All right, so you've been listening intently to all of this. You've been maybe taking some notesand you understand good intentions and enthusiasm don't necessarily equal true worship.You recognize it's perilous to worship God carelessly. You may even be persuaded that you needto worship the Lord in truth. But how? How do we do this? And what does that even look like?Well, we worship in truth when we worship God who is with us.When I was preparing this sermon, I recall seeing a series of memes a few years ago thatcontrasted an event or thing that was brutal with another thing or event that was epic.So I asked some folks familiar with cutting edge technology, cutting edge social media,you know, like MySpace and Vine and Friendster. Did you guys remember those memes?And they're like, no, we I don't remember that at all. And I'm like, well, aren't you people onparlor? Well, anyway, anyway, I know, I know I did not imagine those memes that juxtapose brutaland epic themes. Now, have you have you ever encountered a brutal or brute factthat has set or altered your plans, perhaps altered the trajectory of your life?You know, brute facts are hard, unalterable truths and incurable illness being laid offand debilitating injury. Now, not all brute facts are so dramatic, but we have to reckonwith them. We must adapt and come to terms with them.When I was in 10th grade, I had the ambition to row in college. And one day, the University ofWashington's head coach visited our school. The University of Washington has one of the premierrowing programs, collegiate programs in the country. And their head coach came to our school afterour men's heavyweight four won the American Schoolboy Championship. Now, I wasn't in that boat,but I was pretty excited about this coach's visit. And I was standing in the hallway and he shook myhand and they nice to meet you. And the brute fact was brought home to me that his interest was inOrsman, who were five foot 10 and taller. I had to face the brute fact that I was too short to rowfor any college program. I still am. Now, now that might seem like a silly example, but our livesare filled with inalterable facts. They are the truths we must face. Our intellectual and physicalcharacteristics can only be changed so much. Some of our earlier poor choices in life may have hadconsequences for the rest of our life. Choices or decisions made by others may affect our careers,our health, our relationships. All of us must face a variety of inconsequential to life alteringbrutal facts. But there is one glorious fact so enormous in its scope, so epic in its immeasurableproportions that all the brute facts of our lives pale in comparison. There is an epic truth thatought to completely transform how we think, how we live, and yes, how we worship. It is quite simplythis. If you have trusted Jesus Christ for salvation, he abides in you. Christ in you is your hope ofglory. It is very simple. I repent, I believe in Jesus, and now I possess Jesus. Now, recall fromthe introduction of this message that when God wanted to dwell with his chosen people, he did sothrough the Ark of the Covenant. That simple box containing two tablets of the law and placed inthe most holy place was how God chose to tabernacle with and dwell with and be with his people.John chapter one verse 14 tells us the word became flesh and dwelt among us.The word translated dwelt there is literally tabernacle. Jesus tabernacled among us. Jesuswas the most holy place, the holy of holies in the flesh walking among his people.The world's religious systems have nothing like this. We understand God is absolute power,but yet he's personal. Islam has an absolute God in Allah, but he is in no way personal to his people.Zeus and the variety of Greek and Roman gods, they were personal. They looked very human,but not a single one of them had absolute power.Christianity is unique in the fact that the absolute sovereign of the universehumbly dwells with us in a personal way. There is no other religion, no other systemthat compares with, comes close to the way of Christ.Now you might say, well, he's not tabernacling or dwelling with us now, is he?I mean, even the most ardent followers of Christ can get a bit muddled in their thinking aboutJesus' present location. I mean, I thought he ascended to heaven. He's at the right hand ofGod the Father. Well, he did. He is there. But if you stop there, you may tend to think that Jesusis far away from us. You might think he's like a regional supervisor in a big corporation.He's given us a list of commands to follow. We got to check off our list to make sure we're good.And, you know, he checks in occasionally to see how we're doing. And, you know, he approves orcritiques our performance. We have weekly meetings, right? Every Sunday we have weekly meetings.We get a message from headquarters. We have a musical pep rally. And then we get on with our week.Well, if you think in any way like that about Jesus, you are mistaken. Jesus is not limitedby time or space or location. When you think that way about worshiping Jesus, you neglect this greattruth from John chapter 14 verses 16 through 18. Jesus told his disciples, "I will ask the Father,and he will give you another helper to be with you forever, even the spirit of truth whom the worldcannot receive because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, for he dwells with youand will be in you. I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you."So, where is Jesus? Yes, at the right hand of the Father and present in everyone who believes inhim through the Holy Spirit. First Corinthians reinforces this truth. Look at verse 16 inchapter 3. "Do you not know that you are God's temple and that God's spirit dwells in you?"And then chapter 6 verses 19 and 20. "Do you not know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spiritwithin you whom you have from God? You are not your own. You were bought with a price,so glorify God in your body." The Greek word translated as temple in these verses is naos,and AOS, naos. And it refers to the most holy place, the holy of holies, where the ark was kept.You see, beloved, we are living, breathing portable tabernacles, holy places in whom Christabides. And the law is now written on our hearts instead of stone tablets. We must embrace thistruth and worship in it and out of it and through it. The Spirit of Christ in youought to be calling out to the Father and worshiping him in truth. This awesome, glorious,almighty, inipotent Creator and Master of the heavens and earth humbly dwells with youand makes you his friend. Jesus promises to abide in us and he calls us to come and abide in him.What is your response? Maybe you're hearing this truth for the first time and you're overjoyedby this jaw-dropping reality and you're ready to praise him in song right now.Or maybe you've just considered this in passing, but you think that holy spirit stuff,isn't that for the charismatic? And I don't feel, I don't feel the Spirit of God dwelling in me.It's not about feeling. The Spirit of God in dwelling all believers is presented as a statementof fact. It is true of all believers. Look again at 1 Corinthians chapter 6, 19 and 20.Do you not know your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you, not outside of you?We don't have to ask him to come and visit us in this place. We don't have to ask him to fall onus or anything like that. He is always with us in us. You're not your own. You were bought with a price.So glorify God in your body. This is not some charismatic mumbo jumbo. You don't need a secondbaptism. You don't need an infilling of the Holy Spirit because when you heard the word of truth,the gospel of your salvation and you believed in Jesus, you were sealed with the promised HolySpirit. You have all the fullness of Christ in you right now. You have all of him that you couldever need. All of us together being built up into a holy temple have all the fullness of Christ in us.Everything that is his, his ours already, you don't need more of him. He simply wants more of you.Every day he calls you to abide more deeply in him. Here's the problem.Some, maybe many of you don't live in this truth and you don't worship out of it.Maybe it's because you're just learning about it. Maybe it's because you don't understand the scopeof this epic truth yet. But it would be really, really bad if you understood this truth.And up to this point in time, you've been careless about it.You know, it's okay if I'm habitually late to worship. I don't feel like singing anyway, you say.You hang out in the kitchen area and you chit chat with friends because fellowship is more importantthan singing, you say. When you are present, your hands are in your pockets, your arms are crossed,you won't open your mouth to sing. God knows I can't sing. He doesn't expect it, you say.It's my choice whether I sing, even if the Lord commands it, you say.You, you may have another thing coming. You treat God shabbily and carelessly. You don'tvalue or appreciate the truth that he dwells in you. Instead, you act like he's remote anddisinterested. Instead of deep calling out to deep, you quench the spirit and you instantlybehave in a way that's right in your own eyes with such worship. God is not pleased and you aretesting his patience. Repent, repent right now and every day this week for treating the Lord JesusChrist with contempt, repent and earnestly seek his face. Here is your assignment this week. Readand reread John 14 verses 15 through 23 and then get flat on your face and ask him to reveal bothin your heart and your mind the truth that he dwells with you. Ask him to help you to liveand praise out of the truth that you are his tabernacle. He delights to dwell with youand he delights to hear you sing his praises. Now the worship team is going to come back upand help us to worship the Lord in truth. Singing his praise is of the utmost importance to him.Right now, you have the opportunity to praise the Lord in truth. Right now, make every effort toget yourself to the throne of grace with your brothers and sisters and glorify your father andyour savior in truth. Because if you didn't know it before today, you do now. You were redeemedto worship and glorify him. It is your purpose and privilege to worship God who is with us.Our closing prayer this morning is from Psalm 98. Oh, sing to the Lord a new song for he has donemarvelous things. His right hand and his holy arm have worked salvation for him. The Lord has madeknown his salvation. He has revealed his righteousness in the sight of the nations. He has rememberedhis steadfast love and faithfulness to the house of Israel. All the ends of the earth have seenthe salvation of our God. Make a joyful noise to the Lord all the earth. Break forth into joya song and sing praises. Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre, with the lyre and the sound of melody,with trumpets and the sound of the horn. Make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord. Amen.
