WORSHIP WITH REJOICING
A Series About Worship
Two Kings. A father and a son. Both well known. Both faithful and wise. Both completely human in every sense of what that word means. And both concerned with the worship of God - so much so that it wasn’t something they did, he was who they were. In this series we will explore these two kings, their successes and failures along with the role worshiping God played in their lives. And we will worship, too, as we explore why it is that we do what we do.
WEEK ONE:
Gathering for Worship
David loved the Lord and was known to write songs expressing that love, many of which are favorites of ours today. So, of course, David wanted God nearby, or at least this earthly manifestation of God’s abiding presence among God’s people - the Ark of the Covenant. Some argue that David had more personal motives behind this decision—Maybe a little selfishness drove David to seek out this religious symbol, and bring it back home. But mixed motives, selfishness, laziness or desire to please someone else are often behind our choice to gather for worship almost any time we are here. Yet gathering, just as we are, is one of the ways God is seen and heard.
