Sunday Service #79 1 Chronicles 14-16 By Josh Monday

few things, so i'll show you guys on camera. Obviously, those that are listening on audio aren't gonna be able to see it until my YouTube comes out. But I got this. I don't know if you guys can see this. I got this Tripad tripod. It's very hard to see because I got the blue the green screen. I got this brand new tripod from That's y. I also got a fast charger hub for an Insta three sixty camera.

I also got a SD card two hundred and fifty six gigabytes, so I'll be able to record your sun for seventeen hours when I do though, And I also got this. I got an extra battery and also I got this very hard to see. It might be upside down. You can kind of see it though. This is actually

a power bank. So what I'll do is I'll charge this thing up fully and when it's charged all the way, I'll be able to hook up the camera to this so that way it keeps it charged for you know, it should be about seventeen eighteen hours worth of charge so and the battery will last about an hour and a half on the camera. So this should be good enough for me to run the camera for seventeen hours because I'm trying to film the sun when I'm in Atmitting, Canada,

and also put the arenas for twenty four hours. But let me just do so. Had to grab this other thing I got, which really it's really easy to see through back here, but this is a also got a it's a military compass, so I got that as well. I used that money for that too. And this is really cool, man. This is a Insta three sixty camera, right, So this is actually a Insta three sixty. I think it's called the Insta three sixty times four. And I got this donated to me Pastor Will Duffy. He did

the final experiment. He saw that I was going on the trip. I had a budget obviously, because I started gofund me, and he actually donated this camera to me. He gave it to me. He sent it to me in the mail, which is such a blessing. I was like, man, So I was basically saying, I was balling on a budget. I needed I needed equipment, and through the GoFundMe that we have so far, which was raised eight hundred and eighty five dollars, I bought all that, all the accessories,

and I got the camera sent to me. So Pastor will Duffy is someone that he's a glober obviously, and he took all those guys on the final experiment and he bought two cameras for the final Experiment one trip, one or two of them for the Antarctica trip. So he said, I don't need to so he actually sent me one in the mail, which is a super which

is a blessing. I was like wow. So I talked to him and he said that the best thing to film with would be that three sixty camera because if not, you're gonna have to have a camera that's gonna be able to follow the sun. So this three sixty camera, I could face east to west, put it on my tripod and hook up the power to it, and I'll

be able to film the sun for seventeen hours. So that way we could see exactly what the sun does in the north at fifty three degrees north, and then we're gonna be able to see exactly what the sun does at fifty three degrees south. And what it's supposed to do is it's supposed to rise in the southeast, in the south, and it's supposed to set in the southwest. So that's going to be crazy. I don't know if exactly that's what it does. That's not what the flat

Earth calls for. So that's what I'm trying to go see. That's the reason why I'm doing it, So I have to go fund me up. It's it's if you go to my YouTube, Josh Monday Music and Podcasts, you're going to be able to see the link below. I can't put it the link below here obviously because this is not my podcast. This is a Cult of Conspiracies podcast. But if you want to donate to the link, it's cool.

I'm trying to raise twenty five hundred dollars. It's six hundred and fifty dollars for the trip to Edmonton including airfare and the trip and then to Puta Arenas it's fifteen hundred dollars just to fly there, and it costs about two eighty or something or two fifty I think for the rooms, so plus the all the accessories that I got, So twenty five hundred is what I'm trying to raise, and I'm all the way up to eight

eighty five or ready, which is amazing. So I'm taking that money as it's coming in from GoFundMe, and I'm trying to buy accessories and things that I need for the trip, you know. So anyways, let's go ahead and shout out those last week that went ahead and commented. So on Sunday Service episode seventy eight, we had ten comments, which is amazing. We had MDMP twenty two.

And then I'm going to also go to Thailand next year and I'm gonna do the same exact thing. It's going to be basically about ten degrees I think it's ten degrees north, so I'll be right there on the equator, so I'll be able to film the Sun from there

see exactly what the Sun is doing. And we'll be able to get information from Antarctica, if you guys believe the twenty four sun or not Antarctica. We're gonna have information from the north the Arctic, which you've already we already have that recorded. Then we're gonna have information from fifty three degres north, fifty three degears south, and then I'm gonna try to get information on the equator, which

is about ten degrees off the equator. So that way we kind of see what the sun is doing and it'll be interesting. So looking forward to doing that. So pulling up on the screen now, I'm pulling up First Chronicles and I'll pull up chapter fourteen. Perfect, there we go. So let's go ahead and kick this off now. So we'll just go ahead, go with the intro to First Chronicles fourteen, and every single listener that listens to the show, from the bottom of my heart, thank you, I appreciate you. Okay.

Chapter fourteen of First Chronicles in the Brand Standard Bible follows the journey of King David as he establishes his reign in Jerusalem. With the blessings and help of King Hiram of Tyree, David constructs his palace and solidifies his power. This chapter portrays David's trust and divine guidance, his victories over the Philistines and establishment of his family in Jerusalem. Excuse me told you, guys, still trying to get over this cold Hiram, which means my brother is exalted, hinting

at a friendly ruler, lifted up in cooperation. And then David, just so you guys know, means beloved. Okay, David means beloved. I do not want to get bit by you, So sorry, I don't know if that was a mosquito or not look like one. There we go. Let me just go and go down to my teaching points. Here David favor with God and man. Okay, so let's go ahead and start first. Chronicles fourteen, Chapter one. Now, Hiram, king of Tyree, sent messages messengers to David and cedar trees with masons

and carpenters to build him a house. So David knew that the Lord had established him as king over Israel, for his kingdom has highly exalted for the sake of his people Israel. Then David took more wives in Jerusalem, and David begot more sons and daughters. And these are the names of his children whom he had in Jerusalem. It's Shamuah, Shobab, Nathan, Solomon, ibhar Ilishua, uh El, Noga, Niga, Uh, Nigag. Looks like it's no, it's not Nigog. It's Niga and Noga.

I guess you'd call Noga, n O, g a h Uh, Nephag, Jaffia, Elishama, Ballidia and Eli flat. All right, So I got some notes real quick to kind of go over with the with what just what we just read. So David's favor with God and man uh So in First Chronicles fourteen one, Hiram, king of Tyree, sent messengers to David, along with cedar trees, stonemasons, and carpenters, to build a palace for him. David's favor favor with Hiram signifies God's blessing and the importance of God.

The alliances excuse me. So. David, the son of Jesse is one of the most prominent figures in the Bible, known for his deep relationship with God and his significant impact on the history of Israel. His favor in both God and Man is reoccurring theme throughout the biblical narrative, highlighting his unique role as a shepherd, warrior, king, and

man after God's own heart atoning in early favor. Favor with God is first evident when the prophet Samuel annoys him as king while he is still a young shepherd boy. God instruct Samuel, saying, do not consider his appearance for his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not see as man sees, for man sees the outward appearance,

but the Lord sees the heart. The divine selection underscores God's recognition of David's heart and character, setting him apart from his brother's and establishing his favor in God's eyes. Favor in the royal court, David's favor extends to his

interactions with King Saul and the royal court. After his anointing, David enters all serve as a musician to sue the king's troubled spirit, which is in Samuel sixteen, verse twenty three says wherever the spirit from God came upon Saul, whenever the spirit of God came upon Saul, David would take his heart and play, and relief would come to Saul. He would feel better and the evil spirit will leave him.

David's musical talent and spiritual present earn him favor with Saul alabe I'll bet temporarily as Saul's jealousy later turns to enmity. Victory over Goliath and public acclaim. David's favor with the people of Israel is solidified through his victory over Goliath, the Philistine giant. This act of faith encouraged Noli. He demonstrates his trust in God, but also earns him widespread acclaim. This is in Fir Samuel eighteen, verse seven, as they dance, the women saying out Saul has slain

his thousands and David his tens of thousands. This public recognition marks the beginning of Saul's rise and popularity and influence among the Israelites, and also that kind of created the rise of Saul's jealousy. Okay. Friendship with Jonathan. David's favor is evident in his deep friendship with Jonathan, Saul's son.

Despite the potential threat David poses to Jonathan's succession, Jonathan loves David at his own soul and makes a covenant with him in First Samuel eighteen, verses one through three. This bond exemplifies the favor David finds with individuals who recognize his integrity and God's hand upon his life, kingdom, and leadership As king. David's favor with God is continually affirmed through his military successes, administrative wisdom, and the establishment

of Jerusalem as the political spiritual center of Israel. And David became greater and greater for the Lord God hosts was with him. That's Tewod Samuel five, verse ten. His friendship is marked by a commitment to justice and righteousness, earning him respect and loyalty of his people covenant with God. God's favor towards David is most profoundly expressed in the Dividic Covenant, where God promises to establish David's throne forever your house. This is a Tewod Samuel seven, verse sixteen.

Your house and kingdom will endure forever before me, and your throne will be established forever. This covenant not only secures David's legacy, but also points to the future messiah, Jesus Christ, who is often referred to as the son of david repentance and restoration. Despite his sins, including the incident with Bathsheba, David's favor with God is evident, and his sincere repentance in God's willingness to forgive and restore him.

Psalm's fifty one captures David's contrite heart and desire for renewal. Psalms fifty one to ten says create in me a clean heart, o God, and renew a right spirit within me. His ability to seek God's mercy and his subsequent restoration highlight in the enduring nature of God's favor legacy. David's favor with God and man is a testament to his faith, leadership, and heart for God. His life serves as a model of divine favor, illustrating the blessings and responsibilities that come

with being chosen by God. David's account is a powerful reminder of the impact one individual can have when they walk in obedience and humility before the Lord. So very very interesting information. And then in Psalms fourteen two, I said, so David knew the Lord had to establish The Lord Yahweh has established him as king over Israel. For his kingdom is highly exalted. For the sake of his people Israel.

So this is the recognition of God's establishment and first Chronicles fourteen two, and it said David acknowledges that his kingship is for a benefit of God's people, not personal gain. And then we also have David's family growth in verses three through seven. Verses three through seven detailed David's growing family in Jerusalem, emphasizing the importance of family and legacy

in God's plan. David, the second King of Israel, is a central figure of the Biblical narrative, known for his profound military relationship with God, his military conquest, and his complex family dynamics. His family growth is documented primarily in the Books of Samuel, Kings and Chronicles, providing insight into his personal life the broader implications for the nation of

Israel our early family life. David was the youngest son of Jesse of Bethelite Bethelmite, and was anointed by the prophet Samuel to be king while Saul was still reigning. Marriage and children, David's family began to expand during his time as a fugitive from Saul. He married several women, which was customary for kings of that era, both for personal and political reasons. One is Mike Hall. David's first

wife was Michael, the daughter of Saul. Their marriage was initially a political alliance, but it was marked by love and later tension. My call helped David escape from Saul, but their relationship deteriorated over time. This is in First Samuel eighteen twenty seven, teen eleven through seventeen, and Sewod Samuel six, verses sixteen through twenty three. Uh. This is

Ahinome of Jezreel. While fleeing from Saul, David married Ahinom, who bore him his first son, Amnon first Samuel twenty five, verse forty three and Second Samuel three, verse two, and then he married Abigail. David's marriage to Abigail, the widow of the Baal, was both a personal and strategic alliance. Abigail is noted for her wisdom and beauty, and she bore David a son named chilieb also called Daniel in First Samuel twenty five, verse thirty nine through forty two

and for Samuel three, verse three. Then he married Makaw. David's marriage to Macaw, the daughter of Telmai, king of Jashir. She bore him, Absalom and Tamar, both of whom played significant roles in their later narrative of David's reign, and then Hageth, Abatall and Iglaw. These wives bore David additional sons, ad On Nija, shep Tia, and Ithrium, respectively. In Second Samuel three verses four through five and then number six is Bathsheba, perhaps well the most well known of David's wives.

Bathsheba was initially the wife of Uriah the Hittite. David's adultery with her and the subsequent murder of Uriah marked a turning point in his life. Bathsheba boor David a son who died shortly after birth, but later she gave birth to Solomon, who succeeded David as king. Second Samuel eleven, verses one through twenty seven explains, I think the hit Tite Uriah, the Hittite and Bathsheba and David story, and then twelve fifteen through twenty four is also another one.

So legacy David's family growth and the associated narratives highlight the complexities of his personal life and the broader implications for the Kingdom of Israel. His lineage despite his challenges has integral was integral fulfillment of God's covenant promises, ultimately leading to the birth of Jesus Christ, the Messiah from the line of David, and he had some pretty crazy family dynamics. David's family life was fraught with turmoil and tragedy.

Much was steamed from his own sins and resulting from divine judgment. The prophet Nathan foretold that the sword shall never depart from your house Second Samuel twelve, verse ten, a prophecy then enfolded in the following events Amnon and Tomorrow. Amnon, David's firstborn, committed a grievous sin against his half sister Tomorrow, leading to familial discord and eventual murder by Absalom. Second Samuel thirteen, verses one through twenty nine explains that story.

Then Absalom's rebellion. Absalom, Tomor's full brother, harbored resentment against David for not punishing Amnon. This led to Absalom's rebellion against David, a conflict that ended with Absalom's death. This is in Second Samuel fifteen, verse through eighteen. Then Ada Nijah's Amber as David's health decline at a Nijah, another son, attempted to seize the throne. This was thwarted by the actions of Basheva and the prophet Nathan, ensuring Solomon's succession

in First Kings One, verses five through fifty three. So that's where that's filmed. So it's good to kind of go over that stuff so that you guys kind of have a we revisit it just in case there's new listeners to the show, and also just in case, you know, so that we kind of renew go back and kind of renew the stories that we kind of already read. So let's go ahead and give you a brief description of what we just read. And verses one through seven.

First Chronicles fourteen one through seven focuses on the establishment of David's kingdom in Jerusalem, highlightings God's blessing through his secure palace built by Hiram of Tiree and the growth of David's family. It signifies the formalizing of David's reign as king over Israel, supported by neighboring nations and a large household, establishing establishment of sovereignty. Iiram, king of Tyree, sent materials and craftsmen to build David a house, a palace,

signaling international recognition and divine confirmation of his kingship. Family growth in Verses three through seven list David's wives and children, demonstrating the expansion of his household and the blessing of a numerous issue which added to his honor a purpose of prosperity, David understood his kingdom was raised on high now from his own glory, but from the sake of

the people of Israel. The context of success, this passage serves as a bridge between David's failure to bring the arc in chapter thirteen and his eventual success in chapter fifteen, showing that even during a period of personal indulgence taking more wives, God continued to strengthen his position, confirmation, establishing the security in David's throne, divine favor, God's blessings on David's house and lineage, expansion and growth, increase in family,

and by extension, strength, recognition, international validation of David's power by King Hiram. Those are all synonyms and related themes. The usage of examples sermons on stewardship used to illustrate the power and wealth are provided by God for the benefit of others. Studies on leadership, highlighting the need for a leader to have a firm foundation, the palace and a stable legacy. The children discussion on God's grace, highlighting

how God can strengthen a leader's position despite human imperfections. Okay, so now let's go ahead and jump down to verse eight. The Philistines defeated first Chronicles fourteen. Verse eight says, now, when the Philistines learned that David had been annointed king over all Israel, all the Philistines went up to search for David, and David heard of it and went up against them. Then the Philistines went and made a raid

of the value of Rapayim. All right. We already know Rafayeim is the value of giants, all right, and Rapayim means a giant tribe here, okay. And David inquired of God, saying, shall I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them in my hand? And the Lord Yahweh said to him, go up, for I will deliver them into your hand. So they went to bail Parizemee, and David defeated them there. Then David said, God has broken through my enemies by

my hand like a breakthrough of water. Therefore they called the name of that palace bail Parizeine. And when they left their gods there, David gave a commandment and they were burned with fire. Then the Philistines once again made a raid on the valley. Therefore David inquired again of God, and God said to him, you shall not go up after them, circle around them, and come upon them in

front of the molberry trees. And it shall be when you hear a sound of marching in the tops of the molberry trees, then you shall go out to battle, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines. So David did as God commanded him, and they drove back the army of the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gazir. Then the fame of David went out into the all the lands, and the Lord

Yahweh brought the fear of him upon all nations. You see, this is a very important example here, because as you see David here not all the time, but here he's going to God and he's asking him what shall I do. He's inquiring to God, and God is responding to him. Then the Lord said to him, go up, and I will deliver them into your hands. And what does David have?

David has faith. Doesn't matter if you're going to the Valley of Raphaim, the value of giants, you're going to go against Goliath, You're going to go against all these Amorites or whatever you're going to go against. You know, you know that the Philistines, you know, these guys are strong guys, strong army. God tells you the Lord Yahweh says,

go up, for I will deliver them into your hand. Now, for some people, they just think, oh, well, you know, David just ended up going up there and God delivered them. That's not it's not about that. It's not only about that. It is about that, but it's not only about that. It's about David having the faith to go up there and go against these giants and and and the Philistines you know, are going to this valley, and he has faith, you know. So that's what's awesome. And it's awesome that

he's inquiring even though he's a king. Now and you might start getting a little prideful, like, hey, I'm a king. Someone's billing me in palace. Let's go I got the money, I got these wives, I got these children. My dynasty's strong. But you see, he's not doing like those other kings that we read about in the other chapters in Kings, right, what does he do? He inquires to the Lord, He waits for an answer, and then when the when the

Lord answers him, he reacts. And then also, you know a little further down, when God asked him again, uh, if he should if he should go, God gave him ah what he wanted to, you know, the way that God wanted him to handle it, you know, militarily, and he listened because God said, for God has gone out before you to strike the camp of the Philistines. So God probably used his angels to go down and strike him, or God did one of the two. I don't know how he worked that, but obviously God has an army

as well, He has a host in heaven. Probably had them come handle business. So David did as God commanded, and they drove back the army of the Philistines from Gibeon as far as Gazir. Then the fame of David went into all lands, and the Lord Yahweh brought the fear upon all nations. You see it's God using the evil of the Philistines and the good of David. Right, So God's turning evil into good. You know, all the raphaim and all these different giant tribes, all that evil,

will God turn it into good. That's how he made a name for David. That's every time they defeated the giants, any of the Israelites, what does that do? That builds more faith and shows that God has their back, and God's able to take out these giants even though they're like there's big get cedars and they're scared and they're afraid. Well, when God is there with you, you can handle anything. You know, you can do anything through Christ who strengthens you. Right,

It's just it's amazing. So all right, so we finished that chapter. But let me just go over a few notes I have here. One of them is seeking God's guidance in battle, which I'd kind of just talked about. So David inquired to God, should I go up against the Philistines, will you deliver them into my hand? The Lord Yahweh replied, go, for I would deliver them into your hand. That's first Chronicles fourteen ten. David's inquiry shows his dependence on God for strategic decisions. That's what I

meant to say earlier strategic decision. But I just you know, I can pull the word. In the Biblical narrative, seeking God's guidance in battle is a reoccurring theme that underscores the importance of divine direction and reliance on God's wisdom and strength. Throughout the Old Testament, Various leaders in kings sought the Lord's council before engaging in warfare, demonstrate and a profound dependence on God for victory and protection. The

example of King David. King David is quintessential example of a leader who constantly sought God's guidance in battle. Before engaging with the Philistines, David inquired to the Lord asking whether he should go up against them, and Second Samuel five, verse nineteen, it's recorded so David inquired of the Lord, should I go up against the Philistines? Will you deliver them into my hand? The Lord rep I go, I

will surely deliver the Philistines into your hand. David's practice of seeking divining counsel before battle highlights his reliance on God's direction rather than his own military prowess. The role of priest and prophets, and ancient Israel, priests and prophets often played a crucial role in conveying God's guidance to the leaders. The room and thumb him. Sacred lots used by the high priests were one means by which God

will which God's will was discerned. In one Samuel fourteen thirty seven, Sow inquired of God through the priests, shall I go down after the Philistines, will deliver them into the hand of Israel. However, God did not answer him that day, illustrating that divine guidance was not always granted, especially when sin or disobedient was present. The importance of obedience and faith. Seeking God's guidance in battle was not

merely a ritualistic act, but required obedience and faith. In Joshua six, the Iselites were instructed to march around the city of Jericho for seven days as part of God's strategy for victory. Their obedience to the unconcovenential plan demonstrated their trust in God's wisdom over human understanding, and Hebrews eleven, verse thirty reflects on this event, stating by faith, the walls of Jericho fell after the people had marched around

them for seven days. The consequences of neglecting God's guidance. The Bible also records instances where neglecting to seek God's guidance led to disastrous outcomes. And Joshua nine, the Israelites failed to consult the Lord when approached by the Gibeonites, who into making a treaty. This oversight resulted in untended consequences and serves as a cautionary tale about the dangers

of relying solely on human judgment. The assurance of God's presence When God's guidance was sought and followed, his presence and assurance accompanied the Agilites in battle. In Deuteronomy twenty verse one, Moses instructs the people, when you go out to war against your enemies and see horses and chariots and an army larger than yours, do not be afraid of them, for the Lord Yahweh, your God, who brought you out of the land of Egypt, is with you.

This promise of divine presence provided courage and confidence, reinforcing the belief that victory ultimately dependent on God's intervention. The New Testament perspective, while the New Testament does not focus on physical battles. The principle of seeking God's guidance remains

relevant in spiritual warfare. Of Phesian six Versus eighteen through ten exhorts believers to put on the full armor of God and pray and the spirit on all occasions, emphasising the need for divine strength and guidance in the spiritual battles faced by Christians. Also, you know, we wrestle not against flesh and blood or principalities of evil, you know, dark forces and also principalities in heavenly places. All right.

That means that there's spiritual battles happening between earth and heaven. All right. That's really interesting. And then it says in summary, the biblical accounts of seeking God's guidance and battle reveal a pattern of dependence on divine wisdom, the necessity of obedience, and the assurance of God's presence. These principles continue to resonate with believers today, encouraging a reliance on God in all aspects of life, including spiritual conflicts. All right. So

that's that's aimed at us right now. I don't know if you guys are going to be soldiers going into any physical battles. Who knows right now, right, we have some craziness going on, so you know, we may need God's guidance as well and actual war, you know, with the how this is going, I don't know if they're going to I don't know if they're going to. They might like the thing is sticky, you're gonna put some water down. I don't know if we're going to be

going to war boots on the ground. I'm not saying that I'm going. Already served and I don't know. I'm forty two now, so I don't know if I'm gonna be going. But I'm just saying there might be some people that are listening that might be going. So you might need to see God's guidance in battle as well. Okay, so next we have obedience in Victory First Chronicles fourteen,

verse sixteen. You see that he was victorious, so David did as God commanded him, and they struck down the Philistine army from Gibeon to Gazer, First Chronicles fourteen, verse sixteen. Obedience to God's instruction leads to victory. All right, so let's check out obedience in Victory obedience in the Biblical context we first act of submitting to the commands, laws, and will of God. It is a central theme throughout the scriptures, emphasizing the imhortance of aligning one's actions and

heart with God's directives. The Bible presents obedience as a demonstration of faith and love towards God, often resulting in blessings and favor, and the Old Testament obedience is closely tied to the covenant relationship between God and his people. For instance, Deuteronomy eleven twenty six through twenty eight, God sets before the Israelites a choice between a blessing and a curse. See today, I am setting before you a blessing and a curse. A blessing if you obey the

commandments of the Lord. YEAHWEH your God, will that I am giving you today, but a curse if you disobey the commandments of the Lord. YEAHWEH your God, and turn a sign for the path I command you today by following other gods which you have not known to see their stipulations to some of these things that God sets up. Fourth, the account of Abraham is a profound example of obedience. In Genesis twenty two. God tests Abraham by asking him

to sacrifice his son Isaac. Abraham's willingness to obey even in such a difficult command, even even in such a difficult command, demonstrates his deep faith and trust in God. As a result, God provides a ram as a substitute and reaffirms his covenant with Abraham, promising blessings and numerous descendants.

In the New Testament, Jesus Christ exemplifies perfect obedience Philippines Philippines Philippians two, verse eight states, and being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death, even death on a cross. Jesus, obedience to the Father, even unto death, is a foundation to the Father, even unto death, is the foundation of salvation for humanity. Believers are called to emulate Christ's obedience as a mark

of true discipleship. So Paul emphasizes the importance of obedience in the life of a believer. In Roman six, verse sixteen, he writes, do you not know when you offer yourselves as obedient slaves? You are slaves to the one you obey, Whether you are slaves to sin leading to death, or to obedience leading to righteousness. Obedience to God leads to righteousness and sactification, setting believers apart for his purpose. Now,

let's talk about victory. Victory in the Bible biblical sense is often associated with triumph over sin, evil, and the challenges of life through faith in God. It is not merely a physical, temporal success, but a spiritual conquest that reflects God's power and sovereignty. In the Old Testament, victory is frequently depicted in the context of battles and deliverance. The account of David and Goliath and First Samuel seventeen

illustrates how faith and reliance on God lead to victory. David, a young shepherd, defeats the giant Goliath, not by his own strength, but by trusting in the Lord Yahweh. In First Samuel seventeen, verse forty seven, the Israelites conquest in Jericho, which we talked about earlier, is another example of victory through obedience and faith, where God instructs Joshua to have

the people march around the city for seven days. On the seventh day, the walls of Jericho fall, and the New Testament, victory is primarily spiritual, achieved through Jesus Christ one Corinthians fifteen fifty seven proclaims, but thanks b to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through his death and resurrection, Jesus conquers sin and death,

granting believers victory over their spiritual forces of darkness. The apostle John writes in First John five to four, for everyone born of God overcomes the world, and this is the victory that overcome the world. Our faith, faith in Jesus Christ, is the means by which believers experience victory over the trials and temptations of the world. And Revelation, the ultimate victory is depicted in the final defeat of

Satan and the established of God's eternal kingdom. Revelation twelve ten declares, then I heard a loud voice in heaven saying, now have come the salvation and the power of the kingdom of our God and the authority of His Christ. For the accusers of his brothers has been thrown down he who accuses them day and night before our God. Thus, obedience and victory are intricately linked in biblical narrative. In the Biblical narrative, with obedience to God leading to spiritual

victory and the fulfillment of his promises. All right, So I just thought i'd go over that very important stuff. And then God's fame and fear among nations in First Chronicles fourteen, verse seventeen, where it says, and the fame of David went out into the lands, and the Lord Yahweh caused all nations to fear him. God's work through David brings reverence and recognition among the nations. So we'll

look a little deeper into that. The theme of God's fame and fear of him among the nations is the rear carrying motif throughout the Bible, illustrating his sovereignty, power, and the universal recognition of his divine authority. This concept is deeply rooted in the narrative of Israel's history in God's interactions with other nations. In the Old Testament, God's fame is often linked to his mighty acts and the deliverance of his people. The exodus up from Egypt is

a seminal event establishes God's reputation among the nations. Exodus nine sixteen, God declares to Pharaoh, but I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might display my power in you, and my name might be proclaimed on all the earth. His proclamation underscores the attention behind God's miraculous interventions to make his name known in the realm, in this realm, or globally, or however you want to say it. The conquest of Canaan further amplifies this theme.

In Joshua two nine through eleven, Rahab, a resident of Jericho, acknowledges the fear that has fallen upon her people due to the Israelites approach, saying, I know that the Lord Yahweh has given you this land, and that a great fear of You has fallen on us, so that all who live in this country are melting in fear because of you. This fear directly attributed to the reports of God's mighty works, such as parting the Red Sea and

the defeat of the Amorite kings. So throughout scripture, the fame and fear of God among the nations serve as a testament to his unparalyzed power, parallel power, and the ultimate fulfillment of his redemptive plan. This theme underscores the universal scope of God's authority and the inevitable recognition of his glory by all peoples. Okay, so there we go. That's a nice little explanation of that. So let's go over a brief description of what we just read. That

would we get details of that first. Chronicles fourteen eight through seventeen details David's victory over the Philistines, highlighting the abhorreance of relying on divine guidance over personal strength. David sought God for strategy in both battles, winning with God's help using different tactics, and subsequently gained national renowns, cementing his role as king. Expect resistance. Even when God grants peace in advancement, Spiritual opposition often flows follows. Seek seek

God constantly. David did not rely on past successes, but required of God for each new battle divine strategy. Victory came through obedience to specific, sometimes unconventional instructions. The sound of marching in the tops of the mulberry trees God's power, not man's. David recognized God as the breaker who broke through enemy lines total victory. David destroyed the idols of

the Philistines, demonstrating a comitment to removing false worship. This passage highlights that true success comes from relying on God's timing and methods rather than human strength. All right, so now we're done with chapter fourteen. Let's go over some practical applications real quick, seek God's guidance. Like David, we should seek God's direction in our decisions, trusting his wisdom

over our own understanding. Acknowledge God's role and success. Recognize that our achievements are not established by God for his purposes, not merely for personal advancement. Sorry, he says, Recognize that our achievements are established by God for his purposes, not merely for personal advancement. The next one is value godly relationships. Cultivate relationships that honor God and contribute to his work,

as seen in David's alliance with Hiram. Obey God's commands, follow God's instructions faithfully, knowing that obedience leads to his blood and victories. So let's go ahead and jump up here to additional scriptures that connect Proverbs three verses five through six. Trust in the Lord Yahweh with all your heart, and lean on on your own understanding in all your ways. Acknowledge Him, and He will make your path straight. Next,

we have Psalms thirty seven, verse twenty three. The steps of a man are ordered by the Lord Yahweh, who takes delight in his journey. James one five. If any of you lacks wisdom, he should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and will be given to him. Right. That's James one five. So there you go. That is chapter fourteen. We're complete there. Now, let me

just read the introduction to chapter fifteen. Okay, so we have first Chronicles fifteen is a chapter of celebration, obedience, and reflection on this sanctity of God's commandments. It outlines King David's elaborate preparations and grand procession for the transportation of the Arc of the Covenant to the City of David, following God's precise directives. The chapter concludes with a moment of personal criticism David faces from his wife McCall, further

emphasizing the contrast between public rejoicing and private conflict. Okay, so we have Let me just get down to my teaching points here and then we're gonna jump to chapter fifteen on the screen. Oh man, what happened to me? Oh wow? That sucks. All these little what is it called bulba got stuck to the bottom. There we go. I don't want the bulba to come in this trow because it makes me have to chew, and I don't want to chew while I'm talking to you guys. So

let's go ahead and do this. So first Chronicles fifteen, verse one, the Ark brought to Jerusalem. So David built houses for himself in the city of David, and he prepared a place for the Ark of God and pitched a tent for it. Then David said, no one may carry the Ark of God but the Levites, for the Lord Yahweh has chosen them to carry the Ark of

God and to minister before him forever. And David gathered all Israel together at Jerusalem to bring up the Ark of the Lord Yahweh to its place which he had

prepared for it. Then David assembled the children of Aaron and the Levites of the sons of Cohath Yuriel the Chief, and one hundred and twenty of his brethren of the sons of MARRORII Asiah the Chief, and two hundred and twenty of his brethren of the sons of Jersham Joel the Chief and thirty of his brethren of the sons of Eliza fan Shemaiah the Chief, and two hundred of his brethren of the sons of Hebron, Eliel the Chief, and eighty of his brethren of the sons of yu

Zeal and Aminidab the Chief, in one hundred and twelve of his brethren, and David called Zaduk and Abbathar the priest and for the Levites, for Yuriel, Asiah, Joel, Shamaiah, Eliel, and Aminadab, and said to them, you are the heads of your father's houses of the Levites, sanctify yourselves, you and your brethren, that you may bring up the ark of the Lord Yahweh, God, of the Ark of the Lord Yahweh, God of Israel, in the place I have

prepared for it. For because you did not do it the first time, the Lord Yahweh, our God, broke out against us because he did not, because we did not consult him about the proper order. So the priests and the Levites sanctified themselves to bring up the Ark of the Lord Yahweh, God of Israel, and the children of the Levites bore the Ark of God on their shoulders by its polls, as Moses had commanded, according to the word of the Lord. Now let's stop here real quick.

So first of all, I don't know if you guys have every been in the military and you've ever carried this massive flag. And I won the Soldier of the Year competition. It was like the NCO of the Year competition. When I was in the Army, it's a Sergeant of the Year. NCO means sergeant, so a sergeant of the Year for my battalion and then for my brigade. And then also I went and competed in this for the State of California Sergeant of the Year. So it was

like a big deal in the Army National Guard. It was like I got chosen by the sergeant majors to do this, and I had to go through these competitions to you know, go you know, make it from one level to the next level and then eventually go to state.

And since I became n c O the year for the battalion of the brigade, we did this company run with like I mean, we had the whole entire I don't know if it was the whole I think it was the whole fortieth cab running on this doing this run, and I'm holding this since I was the n c O of the year, I'm holding this flag and I'm running and uh, our command sergeant major was running with us,

you know. All we had all these these people running, and then our lieutenant colonel was also running in the front with me, and I had to be in the front of everybody. And what he said was, I need you to take that flag, and I want you to run all the way around the whole formation and then run all the way back up and catch up to me. And I'm already like, oh my goodness, I'm already huffing just carrying this flag. So I'm like, all right, So I got a run and I got a hold flag.

And the whole reason why I'm bringing this up is because these guys have the Arc of the Covenant on their shoulders and it's by poles, so they're probably walking this thing and they're probably you know, there's a lot of pressure on them, and it was a lot of pressure on me when I was holding this flag. I didn't run all around the whole formation, and we're all the way to the front, and our lieutenant colonel is a runner he has no problem. He's got these long legs,

he's tall. I'm a lot shorter than him. I'm like, oh my goodness, how many catch up to this guy? And I'm running with this big old flag. So anyways, it's a lot of pressure because that flag is very important to everybody in that and that I can't let that drop on the floor. And I also can't fall out because I'm the souldier of the year. I better do it. So I kind of can tell the pressure that these guys have on them, you know, putting this

thing on their shoulder. You got to sometimes I try to put myself in their place, like, dang, they're carrying this thing on their shoulder. It's probably, you know, a little heavy, and it starts to get heavy as you walk in, you know. So it's really interesting. But let's just let me just go over some notes real quick that I have with the first verse. Okay, we're stopping at chapter verse sixteen, just so you guys know. But

so it says David's preparation. David prepared a place for the ark of God and pins to ten for it. First Chronicles fifteen, verse one. This shows the importance of preparing our hearts and lives to welcome God's presence. So David, the youngest son of Jesse, is one of the most prominent figures in the Bible. Let's see where music skills defeating Like, yeah, you know what, I'm not going to go over that, because David's preparation is not really going

over the ark of the covenant preparation. It's going over everything we already went through on the last one I read, so I don't want to read through that again for you guys, Let's look up the Levites role. David gathered the descendants of Aaron and the Levites to carry the arc, as they were chosen by God for this sacred duty First Chronicles fifteen, verse two. This highlights the importance of respecting God's appointed roles and we responsibilities, And we'll go

over the Levites role. Levites hold a significant position within the Biblical narrative, serving as a distinct tribe set apart for religious duties in service to God. Their role is deeply rooted in the covenantial relationship between God and Israel, as outlined in the Old Testament. The Levites, descendant of Levi, one of the twelve sons of Jacob. Their selection for

religious services linked to their zealous actions. During the incident of the Golden Calf, as recorded in Exodus thirty two, Moses himself, a Levite, called for those who were on the Lord's side, and the sons of Levi responded, executing judgment on the idolators Exodus twenty are thirty two, twenty six through twenty nine. This act of loyalty set them

apart for service to God, duties and responsibilities. The primary role of the Levites was to assist the priests, who were also from the tribe of Levi, specifically from the line of Aaron. The Levites were responsible for the care and transportation of the tabernacle and its furnishings. During the Israelites' wilderness wanderings, they were charged with setting up, taking down,

and carrying the sacred tent and its implements. In the Promised Land, the Levites continued their service by maintaining the sanctuary and assisting in various offerings and sacrifices. They were also tasked with teaching the law to the people, as seen in Deuteronomy thirty three, verse ten. You shall teach your ordinances to Jacob and your law to Israel inheritance of provision. Unlike the other tribes, the Levites did not

receive a territorial inheritance. Instead, their inheritance was from the Lord himself, as stated in Deuteronomy eighteen, verses one through two. Role in music and worship, The Leevites played a crucial role in the musical aspect of worship. Under King David, they were organized into groups to provide music for the

temple services first Chronicles fifteen sixteen through twenty two. This included singing, playing instruments, and leading the congregation in worship, of a tradition that continued into the time of the Second Temple. Judicial and administration administrative functions. Beyond their religious duties, the Levites also served in judicial and ad administrative capacities.

They acted as judges and officials, helping Tom maintain justice and order within the community Deuteronomy seventeen eight through nine. Their presence and the cities of refuge, as was outlined in numbers thirty five, further underscores their rolling upholding justice and mercy. Spiritual significance. The Levites symbolized dedication and service to God, embodying the principle of holiness and separation for divine purposes. Their unique role underscores the importance of worship, teaching,

and justice within the covenant community. As intermediaries between God and people, the Levites highlight the necessity of faithful service and obedience to God's commands. So and then in verse fourteen, the priests and the Livites sanctified themselves to bring the ark of the Lord God of Israel, the Lord Yahweh, God of Israel. So the Levites consecrated themselves to bring the ark of the Lord Yahweh one Chronicles fifteen fourteen. This act of consecration signifies the need for purity and

holiness in approaching God. So let's see what consecration is. Consecration is a significant significant Biblical concept that denotes the act of setting apart a person, place, or object for the service and worship of God. This act is deeply rooted in the understanding of holiness and dedication to the divine purpose. Throughout the scriptures, consecration is betrayed are portrayed as both a divine initiative and a human response, reflecting

the covenant relationship between God and his people. Okay, consecration is not limited to specific rituals or ceremonies, but is continuous aspect of worship and daily living. Believers are encourag to consecrate their hearts and actions to God, seeking to align their lives and His will. As spoken about in two Timothy two twenty one, Paul writes, if a man cleanses himself with the latter, he will be an instrument for noble purposes, made holy, useful to the Master, and

prepared to do any good work. This pasts underscores the importance of personal holiness and readiness for God's service, and then in the Old Testament, consecration is often associated with the priesthood, the tabernacle on the temple. The Hebrew word for consecration is qwadesh implpies make implies making something holy or setting it apart for sacred use. The consecration of Aaron and his sons as priests is a prominent example,

and exos is twenty nine to one. God commands Moses, this is what you are to do to consecrate them so they may serve me as priests. This process involves sacrifices, watching, anointing, and wearing of sacred garments. Symbolizing purification and dedication to

God's service. The consecration of the tabernacle and its furnishing is another key aspect and Exodus forty, verse nine, God instructs Moses take the annoyting oil and anoit the tabernacle and everything in it, consecrate it all the furnishings, that it will be holy. This act signified the Tabernacle was set apart as a dwelling place for God's presence among his people. In the New Testament, the concept of consecration

extends to the life of every believer. Through the sacrificial work of Jesus Christ, Believers are called to live consecrated lives. Romans twelve to one exhorts Therefore, I urge you, brothers, on account of God's mercy, to offer your bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. This verse highlights the call for Christians to dedicate their entire being to God, living in a manner that reflects His holiness. The consecration of Jesus

himself as central theme in the New Testament. In John seventeen, verse nineteen, Jesus praise for them, I sanctify myself so that they too may be sanctified by the truth. Here Jesus sets himself apart for the purpose of redeeming humanity, demonstrating the ultimate consecration. So the symbolism of consecration is

rich throughout the Bible. It often involves elements such as anoiting oil, sacrifices, and the laying on of hands, each representing aspects of purification, dedication, and empowerment by the Holy Spirit. The anoitting oil, for instance, is a symbol of the Holy Spirit's presence and the setting apart of individuals for divine purposes. Consecration is a profound expression of the believer's relationship with God, reflecting a commitment to live according to

his statutes and purposes. It is both a privilege and a responsibility, calling for a life marked by holiness, obedience, and devotion to the Lord. I wanted to make sure I went over that for everybody. And then first Chronicles fifteen, obedience to God's instructions, David instructed the Levites to carry the arc of the shoulders with poles, as God had commanded through Moses Verse Chronicles fifteen fifteen. This demonstrates the

importance of adhering to God's specific instructions and worship. We'll look a little deeper into that before we read verse sixteen. Obedience to God's instructions is a fundamental aspect of the Christian faith, reflecting a believer's submission and the commitment to God's will. In this act of aligning one's actions, thoughts, and intentions with the commands and teachings found in scripture, obedience is not merely a legalistic adherence to rules, but

a heartfelt response to God's love and authority. The Bible consistently emphasized the importance of obedience as a demonstration of faith and love for God, and the Old Testament, obedience is es central to the covenant relationship between God and his people. Duteronomy eleven, verse one states you shall therefore love the Lord Yahweh, your God, and always keep his charge,

his statutes, his ordinances, and his commandments. This verse underscores the connection between love for God and obedience to his commands. In the New Testament, Jesus exemplifies perfect obedience, and Philippians two, verse eight describes Jesus as being found in appearance as a man, he helped himself and became obedient to death, even death on the cross. Christ's obedience is the model for believers, demonstrating that true obedience often involved sacrifice and

submission to God's greater plan. What's the role of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit plays a crucial role in enabling believers to obey God's instruction. Ezekiel thirty six twenty seven promises, and I will put my spirit within you and cause you to walk in my statutes and carefully observe my ordinances. The in dwelling of the Holy Spirit empowers Christians to live in accordance with God's will, transfer their hearts and minds to desire what God desires obedience

and faith. Obedience is entrance intrinsically linked to faith. Hebrews eleven, often referred to as the Faith Hall of Fame, highlights numerous individuals whose faith was demonstrated through their obedience to God's commands. Hebrews eleven eight notes by faith, Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place he would later receive as an inheritance. Consequences of obedience and disobedience scripture outlines both the blessings and obedience and

the consequences of disobedience. In Deuteronomy twenty eight, God presents a series of blessings for obedience, including prosperity, protection, and favor. Conversely, disobedience leads to curses and hardships. That dichotomy illustrates the principle that obedience brings life and blessings, while disobedience results in separation from God's favor and in the New Testament, in James one twenty two, obedience for God's instruction is not limited to grand jesture, but is reflected in daily

life choices. James one t two exhorts believers be doers of the word and not hears only deceiving yourselves. This called the action, emphasizes that true obedience involves applying God's word in every aspect of life, from personal conduct to interactions with others. While obedience to God God's instruction is a lifelong journey, it is essential for spiritual growth and

intimacy with God. Through the guidance of the Holy Spirit, the example of Christ, and the support of the Christian community, believers are equipped to live obediently, reflecting God's love and holiness to the world. Let's go ahead and jump right back to oops. Hopefully that okay, let's jump right back

to verse sixteen. So first Chronicles fifteen, verse sixteen. Now, then David spoke to the leaders of the Levites to appoint their brethren to be the singers, accompanied by instruments of music, string instruments, harps, and symbols, by raising the

voice with resounding joy. So the Levites appointed he Man the son of Joel, and his brethren, Asaf the son of Berachiah, and their brethren the sons of Marrariah, Ethan the son of Kushiah, and with them their brethren of the second rank Zachariah, ben Jazil, shamirmth Jahil ni Iliab, Beniah, Massiah, not Messiah but Massiah, matt Tatiya, elf Law, Mickniah, obed

Edom and Gea the gatekeepers. The singers he Man, A, Saff and Ethan were to sound the symbols of Bronze, Zachariah, a, zeal U, shim Mirimoth, Jaheel, ooney ilieb Masssiah, and Benaiah with strings. According to Alamoth Mattathiah, h lit Law Aliphile Mcneah, oh Uh obed Edom, Geu and Asiah to direct the harps on the uh shith wait shim and Ah. Janaiah, leader of the Levites, was instructed in charge in charge

of the music because he was skillful. Bereykiah and Elkanah were doorkeepers of the arc uh she Benaiah, Joseph at Nothanel neth was It nethanel A, massk Guy, Zachariah, ben and Aiah, and Eliezer. The priests were to blow the trumpets before the ark of God and obed Edom and Janiah doorkeepers for the ark. So David, the elders of Israel and the captains over thousands went to bring up the ark of the Covenant to the Lord Yahweh from

the house of obed Edam with joy. And so it was when God helped the lee bites who bore the ark of the Covenant of the Lord Yahweh, they offered seven bulls and seven rams. David was closed with the robe of fine linen, as were all the lee bites who bore the ark, the singers, the Chennanaiah, the music

master with the singers. David also wore a linen ephod thus all Israel brought up the ark of the Covenant of the Lord Yahweh was shouting and with the sound of the horn, with trumpets and with cymbals, making music with string instruments and harps. And it happened as the ark of the Covenant of the Lord Yahweh came to the Yahweh came to the city of David. That McCall Saul's daughter looked through a window and saw King David whirling and playing music, and she despised him in her heart.

All right, So not the right wife to be with if she's despising you for playing music to the Lord. Right, joyful music, Let's look at that. We have some joyful worship. The procession was marked by music singing in great joy first Chronicles fifteen, verses sixteen, and then also twenty five through twenty eight. Worship should be a joyful expression of love and reverence for God. Joyful worship is a expression of reverence and adoration towards God, characterized by joy and gladness.

It is a vital aspect of Christian life, reflecting the believer's gratitude, love, and the awe for the Creator. Joyful worship is not merely an emotional response, but a profound acknowledgment of God's majesty, goodness, and faithfulness. Biblical foundation, the Bible frequently emphasizes the aphorreance of joy in worship. In the Old Testament, the Psalms were replete with calls to worship God joyfully. Psalms one hundred, verses one through two

exhorts shout for joy to the Lord Yahweh. All the earth serve the Lord Yahweh with gladness, come into his presence with joyful songs. This passage highlights the communal and exuberant nature of worship, inviting all creation to participate in joyful praise. In the New Testament, joyful worship is further exemplified in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ. The Early Church has ascribed in Acts often gathered with glad and sincere hearts, praising God Acts two forty six through

forty seven. The Apostle Paul also encourages believers to rejoice in the Lord always Philippian four to four, underscoring the perpetual nature of joy in Christian life expressions and joyful worship. Joyful worship can be expressed in various forms, including singing, dancing, clapping,

and playing musical instruments. Psalms one fifty, verse four encourages worship worshippers to praise him with tambourine and dancing, praise him with strings and flu These expressions are not limited to personal worship, but are often part of corporate gatherings, where the collective joy of the congregation magnifies the worship experience. Theological implications, joyful worship is rooted in the understanding of

God's character and his redemptive work through Jesus Christ. It is response to the recognition of God's sovereignty, love, and grace. The joy experience in worship is a foretaste of the eternal joy promised to believers, as seen in Revelation nineteen verses six through seven, where the multitude and He exclaims, Hallelujah for the Lord. Yahweh our God the Almighty reigns. Let us rejoice and be glad and give him the glory.

Challenges and considerations. While joyful worship is a biblical mandate, it can be challenging for some believers due to personal circumstances, cultural differences of worship styles. It is essential to recognize that joy in worship is not dependent on eternal external conditions, but is the fruit of the spirit Galatians five, twenty two. Believers are encouraged to cultivate a heart of gratitude and

focus on God's unchanging nature, which transcends temporal trials. Conclusion, joyful worship is an integral part of the Christian faith, reflecting a deep seated joy that arises from a relationship with God. It is both a personal and communal expression of adoration rooted in biblical teachings, and a transformative power of the Holy Spirit. Through joyful worship, believers experience a profound connection with God, celebrating his presence and anticipating the

eternal joy of his kingdom. All right, So I thought i'd go over that with you, guys. So we finished chapter fifteen. So let's go ahead and go over a brief description of what we read. And this is going to be a brief description of chapter fifteen versus one

all the way through twenty nine. So in First Chronicles fifteen one through twenty nine describes King David bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem with proper reverence, utilizing levites for transport and celebrating them with music and dancing. It highlights the correction of previous mistakes following God's instructions and highlights the joy of honoring God's presence despite McCall's disapproval key themes and meanings correcting mistakes at Uzah's death.

During the first attempt to move the arc, David ensures the Levi follow the exact instruction from the Book of Numbers, carrying it on their shoulders rather than a court preparation and sanctification. David commands the priest to purify sanctify themselves before transporting the arc, emphasizing the need for holiness and careful reverend action when dealing with God's presence, worship and celebration.

The occasion is marked by immense joy, with worshipers singing, playing instruments, and dancing, demonstrating that presence of God should be met with public enthusiastic celebration. David's humility despite being king, David wore a simple linen ephod a garment worn by priest instead of royal robes, showing he viewed himself as a servant to God. McCall's contempt in Versus fifteen, Verse

twenty nine. The passage concludes with Saul's daughter McCall despising David for his passionate worship, which highlights the contrast between true worshipers and those who focus on rigid outward appearances USTA's examples. This passage is commonly used in studies discussing the order of worship, proper handling of the Holy learning from past failures, and enthusiastic prayer praise synonyms related terms procession, procession, consecration, reverence, worship, sanctify, leevites,

ark of the Covenant, epod, rejoicing, Tabernacle of David. All right, so pretty cool stuff. Let's go over some practical applications for chapter fifteen. Prepare your heart. Just as David prepared a place for the arc, we should prepare our hearts to receive God's presence through prayer and reflection. Number two, Respect God's order. Recognize and respect the roles and responsibilities of God God has established within the church and community.

Pursue holiness. Like the Levites, we should strive for holiness and purity in our lives, setting ourselves apart for God's purposes. Number four, follow God's instructions. Ensure that our worship and service aligned with God's word, following his instructions with diligence and care. Number five worship with joy. Approach worship with a heart full of joy and gratitude, celebrating God's presence

and blessings in our lives. Let's go out to go with some additional scriptures that connect Exodus twenty five, verse fourteen, instructions for carrying the arc, emphasizing obedience to God's commands. Psalms twenty four, verses seven through ten, a Psalm of David celebrating the entrance of the King of Glory, reflecting the joy and reverence in worship. Hebrews twelve, verse twenty eight through twenty nine, encouragement to worship God with reverence

and all recognizing his holiness. Then we have Romans twelve, verse one, a call to present our bodies as living sacrifices, holy and pleasing to God as an act of spiritual worship. Oops. Oh jeez, jeez, give me one second. Yeah, I had a clog toilet upstairs. So even though you guys don't really recognize that, it'll had to be gone for just a minute and ran up there real quick. So let's go ahead and jump to chapter sixteen. Now, So yeah, we're in chapter sixteen, verse one, the arc placed in

the tabernacle. So first Chronicle sixteen, let's go ahead and read a brief intro real quick before we start. Almost forgot the intro. I don't want to forget that. So we have first Chronicles sixteen recounts the joy the joyous arrival of the Ark of the Covenant to the tent of David in Jerusalem. This chapter is a symphony of celebration, showcasing in nation's reverence and worship. It captures David's song of Thanksgiving, which underlines the divine majesty, covenantial faithfulness, and

the universal reign of God. So let me jump down to my teaching points so I can start the chapter. So, the Ark of the Covenant, this is what we're going to be talking about. Here, I get some water. Here we go, all right, First Chronicle sixteen, verse one. So they brought the Ark of God and said it in the midst of the tabernacle that David had erected for it. Then they offer burn offerings and peace offerings, before God.

And when David had finished offering the burn offerings and the peace brings, he blessed the people in the name of the Lord Yahweh. Then he distributed to everyone of Israel, both man and woman, to everyone a loaf of bread, a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. And he appointed some of the levites to minister before the Ark of the Lord, to commemorate, to think and to

praise the Lord Yahweh, God of Israel. Asaf the Chief, and next to him Zachariah, then Jeal, Shamir, Moth, Jahel, mattahyah Iliab ben Andiah, and obed Edam and Jeal with stringed instruments and harps, but ass Of made music with symbols Benaniah and Jehaziel. The priests regularly blew the trumpets before the ark of the Covenant of God. Okay, so that's ending verse six. What's the significance of the Ark

of the Covenant. I've gone over this many times, but you know, for those that are new need didn't understand. The Covenant represented God's presence among his people. David's efforts to bring it to Jerusalem highlight the centrality of God's presence in the life of Israel. So the arc as described in the Bible holds profound theological and historical significance. It's primarily reference in two distinct contexts. The Ark of

Noah and the Ark of the Covenant. Each serves as a pivotal symbol of God's interaction with humanity, his covenantial promises, and his divine presence. Let's talk about the Ark of Noah first. The Ark of Noah is introduced in Genesis six' nine in response to the persuasive wickedness of. Humanity But god decides to bring a flood to cleanse the. Earth, however he Instructs, noah a righteous, man to build an arc to preserve the family and pairs of every living creature.

Creature the arc therefore becomes a vessel of salvation and a testament To god's grace and. Judgement genesis six fourteen through sixteen provides specific instructions on the construction of the. Arc make yourself an arc of gopher, wood make rooms in the, ark and code it with pitch inside and. Out and this is how you are to build. It the arc is to be three hundred cubits. Long fifty cubits wide and thirty cubits. High the detailed instruction underscores

the importance of obedience To god's. Commands, theologically the ark of The covenant Symbolizes god's provision and. Protection it prefigures the salvation offered Through Jesus, christ as noted in Verse peter, three verse twenty through twenty, one which draws a parallel between the waters of the flood and the waters of, baptism signifying a new beginning and. Redemption now let's talk about The arc of The. Covenant The arc of The covenant is a sacred chest described In exodus twenty, Five

verses ten through twenty. Two it was constructed under the direction Of moses Following god's command and housed the tablets of The Ten, Commandments aaron's, rod and a pot of. Manna the ark was placed in The holy Of holies within The tabernacle and later The, temple Signifying god's dwelling among his. People exodus twenty five twenty two, states AND i will meet with you there above the mercy seat between the two, cherubim that over the ark of the.

TESTIMONY i will speak with you about all THAT i command you regarding The. Israelites this highlights the arc as the focal point of divine communications and communication and. Presence the ark of the coven also played a central role In israel's religious and national. Life it was carried into, battle Symbolizing god's leadership and, power as seen In joshua Six during the conquests Of. Jericho the ark's presence assured

victory and divine, favor reinforcing the covenantial relationship Between god And. Israel, moreover the arcs signific extends to its role in The day Of atonement, rituals where the high priests would sprinkle blood on the mercy se to atone for the sins of the People leviticus, sixteen verses fourteen through. Fifteen this act foreshadows the ultimate atonement through The christ Through christ's,

sacrifice as described In hebrews, nine verse eleven through. Twelve symbolism and, legacy both arcs serve as a profound symbols Of god's covenantial faithfulness and his desire to dwell with his. People The ark Of noah represents deliverance from, judgment while The ark of The covenant Signifies god's, law presence and the means of. Atonement, together they encapsulate the narratives of

redemption and the unfolding Of God's salvidic. Plan throughout, scripture the ARC's legacy continues to inspire theological reflection and artistic, representation reminding believers Of god's unchanging promises and his im intimate in in. History in The history Of, salvation, okay very. Interesting and then in verses four through, six we have a unified active. Worship david appointed levites to minister before The, arc emphasizing the communal aspect of worship and the importance

of dedicated service To. GOD a unified active worship refers to the collective and harm harmonious expression of, reverence, adoration and the devotion To god by a group of. Believers this concept is deeply rooted in The biblical, narrative where communal worship is often depicted is powerful and transformative. Experience The bible provides numerous examples and teachings that highlight the significance of unity and, worship emphasizing the imhortance of coming

together as one body to Honor. God in The Old. Testament The Old testament lays the groundwork for understanding and unified worship through various instances where The israelites gathered to Worship god. Collectively one of the earliest examples is found in The book Of, exodus where The, israelites having been delivered From, egypt saying a song of praise to The Lord. Yahweh Then moses and The israelites sang this song to The.

LORD i will sing to The Lord, yahweh for he has highly exalted the horse and rider he has thrown into the. Sea this act communal singing reflects the unity of the people in Acknowledging god's mighty. Acts the construction and dedication of the tabernacle on later of the temple also underscores the importance of unified worship And Second chronicles five verses thirteen through, fourteen during the dedication Of Solomon's, temple The levites and musician musicians came together in unison

to praise The Lord. Yahweh the trumpeters and singers joined together to praise and thank The Lord yahweh with one. Voice they lifted up their voices accompanied by, trumpets, symbols and musical instruments in praise to The Lord. Yahweh for You Lord, yahweh for he is, good his devotion endures. Forever then the house of The Lord yahweh was filled with a. Cloud this passage illustrates how unified worship can lead to the profound manifestation Of god's. Presence let's check

out Some New testament. Examples in The New, testament The New testament continues to emphasize the importance of unity in, worship particularly within The Early Christian. Church communities And acts, two verse forty two through forty. Seven the Early church is described as being devoted to the, apostles, teaching, fellowship breaking of, bread and. Prayer this passage highlights the communal

aspect of, worship where believers gathered regularly to express their. Faith, collectively they devoted themselves to the, apostles teaching and to the, fellowship to the breaking of, bread and to. Prayer acts, two verse forty. Two the Apostle paul and his letters frequently addressed the theme of unity within the body Of. Christ In ephesians, four verses three through, six he urges believers to maintain the unity of The. Spirit make every effort to keep the unity of The spirit through the

bond of. Peace there is one body and one, spirit just as you were called to one, hope when you were called One, lord one, faith one, baptism One god And father of, all who is over all and through all and in. All this passage underscores the theological foundation of unified, worship rooted in oneness Of god and the shared faith of. Believers the unified act of worship is not merely about physical, gathering but involves a spiritual unity

that transcends individual. Differences it reflects The biblical vision of The church as the body Of, christ where each member contributes to the. Whole In One corinthians, twelve verses twelve through, Fourteen paul, explains for just as the body is one and has many, parts and all the parts of the, body through many are one, body so also Is. Christ for in one spirit we were baptized into one. Body Whether jews Or, greeks slave or, free we were all

given one spirit to. Drink the metaphor of the body highlights the intercessions of believers and the necessity of unity and worship in Contemporary christian. PRACTICE a unified active worship can take various, forms including corporal corporate, singing communal, prayer the celebration of The Lord's, supper and the reading and teaching of. Scripture these acts are often accompanied by the sense of shared purposes and mutual, edification as described In colossians,

three verse. Sixteen let The word Of christ richly dwell within you as you teach and admonish one another with all, wisdom as you sing, psalms, hymns and spiritual, songs with gratitude in your hearts To. God the practice of unified worship calls for intentional efforts to foster, inclusivity, reconciliation and love among, believers reflecting the diverse yet harmonius nature of

The body Of. Christ there we. Go, now let's go ahead and give you a brief description of what we just read in verses one through, six and then we'll start with verse. Seven In First chronicles, sixteen verses one through six Describes King david bringing The ark of The covenant Into jerusalem and place it into a, tent marking

a new era of, centralized joyful. Worship david offers, sacrifices blesses the, people and Appoints levites to lead musical, praise Highlighting god's presence as central To israel's life centrality of.

Praise this passage serves as a model for Celebrating god's, goodness leading with, generosity and ensuring worship

is a central part of a community. Life now we're gonna, go and we're gonna Read verses seventeen through thirty, six seven through thirty, Six sorry on that Day david first delivered this psalm into the hand of aesof and his brethren to thank The. Lord, oh give thanks to The Lord. Yeahweh call upon his, Name make known his deeds among the. Peoples sing to, him sing songs to. Him talk to all his wondrous. Works talk of all his wondrous, works glory and his holy. Name let the hearts of those

yahweh Our. God his judgments are in all the. Earth remember his covenant for the word which he commanded for thousands of, generations the covenant which he had made With abraham and his oath To isaac and confirmed it To jacob for a statute To israel for an everlasting, covenant saying to, YOU i will give the land Of canaan as the atonement of the. Inheritance when you were few in, number indeed very, few and strangers in, it when you

went from one nation to, another and from one kingdom to. Another, people he permitted no man to do with them. Wrong he permitted no man to do them. Wrong, yes he rebuked kings for their, sakes, saying do not touch my anointed, ones and do my prophets no. Harm sing to The Lord, yahweh all the, earth proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to. Day declare his glory among the, nations his wonders among all. Peoples for The lord Is yahweh as great and greatly to be prayed. For he

Him, oh worship The Lord, yahweh and beauty and holiness tremble before him all the. Earth the world also is firmly. Established it

shall not be. Moved let's, See i'm gonna stop the real. Quick so this is like one of the verses that we Use First chronicles, sixteen verse thirty with the biblical. Cosmology but you see how that. FLOWED i don't think that it was talking about the world like the. Earth right here it, says tremble before him all the. Earth the world also is from the, established so it should

not be. Moved it's an interesting. One But i'm kind of noticing a few things When i'm reading through The bible instead of just cherry picking, verses just letting he ys. Know let the heavens, rejoice and let the earth be, Glad and let them say among the nations The lord. Reigns let the see roar and all its. Fullness let the field rejoice and all that is in. It then the trees of the woods shall rejoice before The, lord

for he is coming to judge the. Earth, oh give thanks to The, lord for he is, good for his mercy endures. Forever and, say save, us Oh god of our, salvation gather us together and deliver us from the. Gentiles to give thanks to your holy, name to triumph in your. Praise blessed be The Lord, Yahweh god Of. Israel from everlasting to, everlasting and all the people, Said, amen praise The. Lord yahweh very interesting. Stuff let me check out WHAT

i have. Here my whole point to What i'm saying there is when you're reading through, this it's not Like david's trying to explain cosmology, here And i've pulled these verses LIKE i have so many different verses WHEN i do biblical, cosmology But i'm going through each one WHENEVER

i read through The. Bible and it's just, LIKE i don't think that he's, saying bring an, offering come before, Him, oh worship The lord in beauty and, holiness tremble before, him speaking of The lord all the earth, saying everybody tremble Before. God the world also is firmly established and shall not be. Moved so we want to find out what the world means. There that's something we need to find. Out but that's going to be another. Episode that's gonna

be more biblical. Cosmology let's continue with what we're reading. Here David's song Of, thanksgiving a song rec recorded in verse eight through thirty, six is a rich expression of, gratitude Recounting god's wondrous deeds and his covenant. Faithfulness it serves as a model for our own prayers and. Praises let's look that up real, Quick let's look a little deeper into. That David's song Of thanksgiving is a profound expression of gratitude and praise To. God found in Two

samuel twenty two and paralleled In psalms. Eighteen this song is attributed To King, david who composed it in response To god's deliverance from his enemies and from the hand Of. Saul it is a rich tapestry of theological, themes Including god's, sovereignty, deliverance and. Faithfulness the song is situated within the narrative Of david's, life specifically after he has been delivered from his. Adversaries it serves as a retrospective reflection On god's intervention

and protection throughout his tumultuous journey to. Kingship the structure of the song can be divided into several key. Sections an introduction of, praise a recounting Of god's, deliverance a declaration Of god's, attributes and concluding vow of continued. Praise themes and Theology god As deliverer central to the song as the depiction Of god as a mighty. Deliverer david begins by, proclaiming The Lord yahweh is my, rock my,

fortress and my Deliverer Second samuel twenty, two verse. Two the imagery Of god as a rock and fortress underscores his strength and Reliability divine. Intervention david vividly Describes god's intervention in his life using dramatic poetic. Language he recounts How god parted the heavens and came Down Second samuel twenty to, ten thundering From Heaven Second samuel twenty two, fourteen illustrating the power and majesty Of god's actions on

his bealf righteousness and. Reward the song emphasizes the relationship between righteousness and divine. Reward david, asserts The lord has rewarded me according to my. Righteousness The Lord yahweh has rewarded me according to my. Righteousness Second samuel twenty, two verse twenty. One this reflects the biblical principle That god honors those who walk in his, ways though it is understood within the broader context Of god's grace and covenant.

Faithfulness god's, Faithfulness david Extols god's unwavering, faithfulness declaring as For, god his way is. Perfect the word of The Lord yahweh is Flawless Second samuel twenty, two thirty. One this account Of god's perfect nature and trustworthy word is a cornerstone Of god's faith and a source of his, confidence praise and. Worship the song is both a personal and

communal call to. Worship david's, vow, THEREFORE i will praise, YOU O, lord among the Nations Second samuel twenty, two verse, fifty highlights his commitment to Glorifying god, publicly serving as an example for the people Of israel and for future. Generations literacy and historical, Significance David's song Of thanksgiving is not only a personal, testimony but also a piece that has Been it's a literary piece that has been used

Mercy though it's vivid language or profound, themes it continues to inspire, worship, inspire and inspire worship and devotion among The, okay so that was in verses eight through thirty six a call to remember and. Proclaim david urges the people to Remember god's marvelous works and proclaim his deeds among the, nations highlighting the evangelistic

nature of. Worship the concept of remembering and proclaiming is deeply embedded in The biblical, narrative serving as a vital aspect of the faith journey for. Believers this theme is woven throughout, scripture emphasizing the importance of Recalling god's mighty acts and sharing his truths with. Others all, right SO i just want to go over. That let me go back down on my teaching. Points we'll go over a brief description of what we just read in verses seven

through thirty. Six, okay so let me just do that real. Quick and Then god's covenant. Faithfulness that's another one that's In First chronicles sixteen fifteen through, eighteen which we read okay BEFORE i go over a brief, description where we just READ i got to go over. This the song Emphasizes god's covenant With, Abraham, isaac And, jacob reminding us of his unchanging promises and faithfulness throughout. Generations god's covenant.

Faithfulness let's read about that real. Quick god's covenant faithfulness is a central theme throughout The, bible reflecting his unwavering commitment to his promises and his. People the concept is rooted in A hebrew word has, said often translated as steadfast, love, mercy or loving. Kindness it Signifies god's loyal love and faithfulness to his covenantial. Commitments Old testament. Foundation the idea of covenant faithfulness is first introduced in the context Of

god's relationship with the. Patriarchs In genesis, twelve verses one through. Three god makes a covenant With, aber him promising to make him a great nation and to bless all the families of the earth through. Him despite human, Failures god's faithfulness remains. Steadfast genesis fifteen six Highlights abraham's belief In god's. Promises abram believed The Lord, yahweh and it was credited to him as. Righteousness The covenant With israel At sinai

further Exemplifies god's. Faithfulness In exodus nineteen five through, Six god, declares, NOW i will indeed. Obey, now if you indeed obey my voice and keep my, covenant you will be my treasured possession out of all the, Nations for the whole earth is. Mine Despite israel's repeated, Disobedience god remains faithful to his, covenant as seen in his continued guidance and

provision throughout their. History The Davidic covenant and Two samuel seven verses twelve through sixteen is another testament Of god's. Faithfulness god's promise To david that his throne will be established, forever a promise ultimately fulfilled In Jesus, christ The son Of David psalms eighty, nine thirty three through thirty four underscores this. Commitment BUT i will not draw my loving

devotion from, him nor ever betray my. FAITHFULNESS i will not violate my covenant or alter the utterance of my. Lips the prophetic frequently Reminds the prophets frequently Reminded israel Of god's covenant, faithfulness even in the face of impeding. Judgment jeremiah thirty one thirty one through thirty four speaks of a new covenant Where god promises to write his law on the hearts of his, people ensuring a, deeper more intimate. Relationship this new covenant is a continuation and

fulfillment Of god's steadfast love and. Faithfulness In isaiah fifty, Four verse ten provides comfort with the assurance though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be, shaken my loving devotion will not depart from, you and my covenant of peace will not be, broken says The Lord, yahweh who who has compassion on. You this promise highlights the unshakable nature Of god's covenant. Love in The New, Testament god's covenant faithfulness is most fully realized in the

person and work Of Jesus. Christ jesus is the mediator of The New, covenant as described In hebrews nine point. Fifteen, Therefore christ is the mediator of a new, covenant so that those who are called may receive the promise eternal inheritance now That he has, died to redeem them from

Off to celebrate the arcs it's. ASoft i shouldn't say ass off asoff as wait a. SOFT i

GUESS i don't KNOW i would say.

Six The psalm ends with a prayer for salvation and a call to worship in, holiness to which all the people Said amen and praise The. Lord this marks a turning point In israel's, worship transitioning from a period where The ark was away to a, new established and joyful public. Worship this passage acts as a model for modern, worship blending theological depth with personal and communal. Praise all, right so we got about ten minutes, left so let's go
