Temple Baptist Church - 10-10-20212 Samuel 6:1-11; 6:12-23� Introduction:� � A.� We have preached� for a couple of weeks on the life of David: the only man in the Bible that God said was a man after His own heart.� When God makes a statement like that, it behooves us to look closely at the character and life of this man that made him so described.� � We understand that David was a man of contentment and character which make for attributes of greatness in the sight of the Lord.� B.� This morning,� I want to look at David in the light of his worship of God.� Worship is of the utmost importance in God's people.� Worship is the missing ingredient in the lives of many and is reflected in the lack of biblical worship within the local church.� We will never worship publically until we have learned to worship privately.� C.� In 2 Samuel 6:1-11, we find David's� first attempt at moving the Ark of the Covenant� back to the Tabernacle where it belonged.� In the story, we find the danger of worldly worship characterized.� 1.� The Ark was taken captive by the Philistines over 20 years earlier and remained with them for 7 months.� � 2.� God chastened the Philistines, so they made mice and emerods of gold, placed them in the Ark, placed the Ark on a cart pulled by two milk cows, and sent it back to the Israelites.� 3.� The Ark was placed in the house of Abinadab where it remained for 20 years.� 4.� In 1 Chronicles, chapter 13, David attempted to bring the Ark back to the Tabernacle by also placing it on a "new cart" that was pulled by oxen with Uzza and Ahio driving.� � a)� The "new cart" was good enough for the Philistines, so it was deemed good enough for David.� Why did David not know?� Why did the high priest not know?� � b)� Because none of them consulted the Word of God given to Moses concerning the movement of the Ark: it was to be covered, the staves placed within the rings, and the priests carrying it upon their shoulders.� 5.� They were having a real worship service in the eyes of the world: David and all Israel playing instruments with all their might.� To the world, Philistines, this was the way to move the Ark.� To David and all Israel, it was a wonderful experience.� To God, the new cart and oxen were not the way to move His presence.� The oxen stumbled and Uzza put forth his hand to stabilize it and God smote him that he died.� 1 Chronicles 13:7-11� And they carried the ark of God in a new cart out of the house of Abinadab: and Uzza and Ahio drave the cart.� (8)� � And David and all Israel played before God with all their might, and with singing, and with harps, and with psalteries, and with timbrels, and with cymbals, and with trumpets.� � (9)� And when they came unto the threshingfloor of Chidon, Uzza put forth his hand to hold the ark; for the oxen stumbled.� (10)� � And the anger of the LORD was kindled against Uzza, and he smote him, because he put his hand to the ark: and there he died before God.� (11)� � And David was displeased, because the LORD had made a breach upon Uzza: wherefore that place is called Perezuzza to this day.� Numbers 4:15� And when Aaron and his sons have made an end of covering the sanctuary, and all the vessels of the sanctuary, as the camp is to set forward; after that, the sons of Kohath shall come to bear it:� but they shall not touch any holy thing, lest they die. These things are the burden of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation.� 6.� David got angry with God, but the problem was with David.� GOD IS NOT IMPRESSED WITH NEW CARTS!� God is not impressed with worldly attempts at worship!� A lesson in what is not acceptable worship and David's great failure that cost a good man his life.� a)� The New Cart of worldliness.� b)� The New Cart of contemporary music and praise bands.� c)� The New Cart of entertainment.� As one great preacher said, "The time will come when preachers quit feeding sheep and begin to entertain goats."� d)� The New Cart of shallow preaching.� e)� The New Cart of perverted "bibles."� f)� The list could go one but we, as God's people, need to cling to the Old Paths wherein is the good way.� Hebrews 12:14� Follow peace with all men, and holiness, without which no man shall see the Lord:� 7.� Sometimes, good men get things wrong but great men correct them and get things right!� D.� In 2 Samuel 6:12-23, we find David's� second attempt at moving the Ark of the Covenant� back to the Tabernacle where it belonged.� David now moves the Ark after� "due order"� and God is pleased.� In our text, we find several aspects of David's public worship that we can apply to our lives.� 1.� David worshipped in Obedience.� Verse 12.� � "So David went and brought up the ark of God from the house of Obededom into the city of David"� a.� Earlier, David did a right thing the wrong way and it cost him a good man:� Uzzah.� b. God is not impressed with "new carts!"� Spirit is nothing without truth and truth is always "after the due order."� (1 Chronicles 15:13)� John 4:23� But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.� c.� David sought after the Lord and got it right!� 2.� David worshipped in Gladness.� Verse 12.� � "with gladness"� � People no longer enjoy God's house, they just endure it or they ignore it or they forget it.� Psalms 122:1� A Song of degrees of David. I was glad when they said unto me, Let us go into the house of the LORD.� Psalms 27:4-5� One thing have I desired of the LORD, that will I seek after; that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my life, to behold the beauty of the LORD, and to enquire in his temple.� (5)� For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his pavilion: in the secret of his tabernacle shall he hide me; he shall set me up upon a rock.� Psalms 42:4� When I remember these things, I pour out my soul in me: for I had gone with the multitude, I went with them to the house of God, with the voice of joy and praise, with a multitude that kept holyday.� 3.� David worshipped with Sacrifice. Verse 13, 17.� � "he sacrificed oxen and fatlings …� and David offered burnt offerings and peace offerings before the LORD"� � a.� Tithes and offerings are an important part of our worship.� Impossible to worship God and rob Him at the same time.� Malachi 3:8-10� Will a man rob God? Yet ye have robbed me. But ye say, Wherein have we robbed thee? In tithes and offerings.� (9)� Ye are cursed with a curse: for ye have robbed me, even this whole nation.� (10)� Bring ye all the tithes into the storehouse, that there may be meat in mine house, and prove me now herewith, saith the LORD of hosts, if I will not open you the windows of heaven, and pour you out a blessing, that there shall not be room enough to receive it.� 2 Corinthians 9:6-7� But this I say, He which soweth sparingly shall reap also sparingly; and he which soweth bountifully shall reap also bountifully.� (7)� Every man according as he purposeth in his heart, so let him give; not grudgingly, or of necessity: for God loveth a cheerful giver.� b.� One of the greatest thrills of the Christian life is worshipping in giving.� 4.� David worshipped with All his Might.� Verse 14.� � "And David danced before the LORD with all his might� …� leaping and dancing before the LORD"� The King of Israel was actively engaged in worship!� As your pastor, I want to be involved in the worship service.� I want to sing in the choir.� 1 Corinthians 10:31� Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.� 5.� � David worshipped with Noise.� Verse 15-16.� � "So David and all the house of Israel brought up the ark of the LORD with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet"� a.� Sing with joy.� � Psalms 100:1-4� A Psalm of praise. Make a joyful noise unto the LORD, all ye lands.� (2)� Serve the LORD with gladness: come before his presence with singing.� (3)� Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture.� (4)� Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name.� b.� Sing out loud.� I love to sing loud!� When I get on the wrong verse or the wrong page, I disrupt the whole crowd.�

In Psalm 57 … David is being chased relentlessly by King Saul. For years this was the case! And “the man after God’s Own Heart” (Acts 13:22) had to flee for his life time and time again. Notice the Introduction to our Psalm, often called the “Superscript.” It reads in part …“Michtam of David, when […]
