Call To Worship Scripture
Sermon Scripture:
1 Chronicles 29:10
The books of 1 & 2 Kings carry us through a common theme of Israel’s history.
It is the theme of obedience and disobedience to the Lord.
We read often that they did what was or more often than not what wasn’t pleasing in the sight of the Lord.
We learn of God’s patience and faithfulness to His Word in the midst of a peoples unfaithfulness.
We also learn something of wisdom.
I would offer to you that Biblical wisdom or godly wisdom is the ability to know and the valor to do what is pleasing in the sight of God.
The understanding which is always connected to wisdom is not an understanding in the action itself but an understanding of the goodness which comes from walking in a manner obedeint to the Lord God.
1 & 2 Chronicles will take us down a path from looking at obedience to now looking at worship.
I would have you note that apart from obedience - love is absent ().
Apart from faith -faith in the words and commands of God - faith which is working - it is implossible to please God ().
Likewise appart from obedience, true worship is a imposiblility (John 4:24).
So then the history of Israel in Kings and Chronicles is one of learning of obedience and worship.
Obedience to what God says, and Worship of who God is.
This morning let us look to the scripture to catch a glimps of the spirt & truth, the thoughtful devotion, description, proclamation and unity that is found in worship.
And while 1 & 2 Chronicles will carry us through much of the same era the theme will move from obedience to worship.
2 Chroni
All The Assembly - There is a power a greatness displayed when a Kingdom assembles together.
There is a strength seen in unity, a power and sense of accomplishment or arrival in numbers.
One can easily think of themselves more highly than they ought when before their eyes there stands a great unified assembly.
David however does not assume his own greatness or the greatness of Israel but rather he blesses the Lord.
How can one bless the Lord?
What does it mean when we bless the Lord?
Blessed - To kneel before.
An act of adoration.
The notion is to break down before.
Before all of the assembly David, the King of Israel with all of the greatness and number of the kingdom before him, became small, He broke down before Almighty God.
The Kingdom of Israel in the height of her splendor with King David is as nothing before God.
That is to say that God is the glory of Israel.
In the same manner, when we come before God, we are not a representation of greatness, worthiness or glory but rather we break down before the God who is these things and more and declare that God is the glory of the church.
We have nothing to boast in in our existence and works but that of the work of Christ Jesus our Lord and the infinite love of our Heavenly Father.
Father - In refering to the LORD as LORD (Yahweh) the proper name of the one true God, David declares God as the self existing one, the eternal God.
That is, God is the I AM.
In using LORD, David recognizes that God is reality and the true constant.
More constant, more lasting than any kingdom.
All of Davids declaration & praise is built off of the word LORD and the God of the Bible, the God of Israel being that LORD.
As such David then uses the expression Father, meaning the head, the founder of a household, group or clan.
Israels orignin is founded in God, He is her Father.
In the same manner the church finds her origing in God.
God is her Father, He is our Father.
Forever & Ever - In the same way that God is self-existing He is also forever-existing.
A great kingdom of this earth will always meet her end.
The greatest kings of this earth will always breathe a final breath.
But God is forever existing.
There is no end to who He is, God will never cease to be God and all that He is will never cease to be.
This is a great strength and comfort to a people.
What is a nation when her King has fallen?
But the Kingdom of God will never face such a delima for her King lives forever and ever.
The orign of Israel is not founded in a power that will cease or a Father who will leave His children orphaned.
Rather the Father of Israel will always be.
Forever & Ever
In the same way church we worship the God who will always be, the God who will never leave or forsake, but will see to it that all of His promises are fulfilled and all of His children safely home.
Greatness - All majesty belongs to God.
That is, all greatness, all mighty acts and great things are attributed to God as who He is.
As David looks over a great kingdom, seated in a great position, all of all that is great before him is attributed to God alone and displays the greatness of who God is.
Church, in our worship, in our assembling, let us tremble should we ever gather to testify to the greatness of what a people (even a congregation) can do.
It is not us who accomplish any great things amoungst ourselves, our community, our nation or this world.
All greatness and any mighty work that we are blessed to be a part of is attributed to God and as such it ought not build us up, but break us down that the Almighty has worked such a great work amougnst one such as I.
Power - strength, mastery, bravery, valour.
Upon what stregnth has Israel arrisen.
Is David in himself a man of valour?
To whom is the bravery of David attributed and the stregnth of the Kingdom given?
How does a Kingdom arise and fall, but by the power of God.
In the same way that God raised up a powerful nation from slaves, so He has established His church.
Out of the bondage of sin we have come by the stregnth of God and not of ourselves.
Glory - ornament, splendor, aray, honour.
Just as Israel has not arisen by her own stregnth, so now all the glory that arays her, all that appears around her as beautiful and worthy of honour, is not that of herself but of her God.
The glory of Israel is her God.
Whatever splendor is seen amoungst the people of God, whatever honor is known ought not be a honor of this world but of God.
The weight, the value, the beauty of the people of God is there God.
The beautiful feet that bring good news are beutiful because of the news that they bring of God.
All of our glory, our honour, our splendor is found in the covering of Christ.
The glory of God is found in His perfect righteousness and the perfection of His will.
This is the splendour that in Christ we are clothed in.
We are found to be in the will of God arraied in the perfect righteousness of Christ.
As such all glory, all beauty is attributed to God.
Victory - This speaks of endurance.
It is the picture of a bright object in a distance being travelled towards and reached.
The endurance, the confidence and continued stregnth, truth and splendor is what is spoken of in victory.
The continuation of a Kingdom speaks to her victory rather than defeat.
In the same way the endurance of the saints speak of their victory rather than defeat.
In both of these cases the victory belongs to the Lord.
God is our victory.
He is the endurance of the saints, His truth is the continuation of our confidence and hope and His city is what we press on towards by His power.
Victory
Romans
John 10:28
At the end of every battle there is always victory and defeat.
In Christ, we hold at the end of every battle victory!
Why?
Not because we are great men of valour, but because the victory belongs to the Lord.
