/Radical Worship
Introduction:
There are moments in life / when something so good happens,/ you just can’t help but move—shout, leap, even dance!
R.C Sprout
The single most important thing to understand about worship / is that the only worship that is acceptable to God / is worship that proceeds from a heart / that is trusting in God, and in God alone.
Title: Radical Worship
David again gathered all the chosen men of Israel, thirty thousand.
And David arose and went with all the people who were with him from Baale-judah to bring up from there the ark of God, which is called by the name of the Lord of hosts who sits enthroned on the cherubim.
And they carried the ark of God on a new cart and brought it out of the house of Abinadab, which was on the hill. And Uzzah and Ahio, the sons of Abinadab, were driving the new cart, with the ark of God, and Ahio went before the ark.
Point 1: Radical Worship Comes from a Reverent Heart
3 Things we have to take away
1.) Seek and Long to Host his Presence
2.) Let your Worship break/ through that struggle
3.) Worship attracts / the blessing of God
A few things that stand out /
Teach
Nearly 20 years they were separated form the (ARK) / it sat at the house abinadab..… (Expound)
It was important to David / to bring the ark back into the prominence:
David was a Man after God's heart;
David's hole Life/ was built around his Love for God
David wasn't perfect;/ David failed and Lied; / Committed adultery / and he murdered Uriah...… / But God Restored him.
“Teach”
He wanted Israel to be aware / Of God's Presence!
In the Old Testament, / the Ark represented / the manifest presence and holiness of God.
Preach
Worship Around to the Ark was serious—/
And when they came to the threshing floor of Nacon, Uzzah put out his hand to the ark of God / and took hold of it, for the oxen / stumbled. And the anger of the Lord was kindled / against Uzzah, and God struck him down / there because of his error, and he died there beside the ark of God.
Thank God that doesn't happen know!
David was scared /to take the Ark into the City of David!
So he took it to the House of Obed-edom- and Left it for 3 mths
The Lord began to Bless the obed-edom
David was like no-way; Im going back for the Ark/ This should be are heart and Poster
And it was told King David, / “The Lord has blessed the household of Obed-edom/ and all that belongs to him, /because of the ark of God.” So David went /and brought up the ark of God/ from the house of Obed-edom/ to the city of David with rejoicing.
David danced before the Lord with all his might…”
(Image) What does your Worship look like?
David’s decision to worship radically /reflects a theological shift: / he understood that God’s holiness/ demands reverence,/ but His presence invites intimacy. (STOP)
David danced, /not just because he was excited—/ Because he was passionate for Gods Presence.
John 4:23-24 – “True worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and in truth…”
Point 2: Radical Worship Breaks Human Expectations
Key Scripture: 2 Samuel 6:16, 20–22
As the ark of the Lord came into the city of David,/ Michal the daughter of Saul/ looked out of the window and saw King David leaping and dancing before the Lord, and she despised / him in her heart.
Galatians 1:10 – “Am I now trying to win the approval / of human beings, or of God?”
Radical worship challenges our pride/ , and our image.
Michal - judged David / from a place of formality and pride—but David worshipped with humility.
His undignified worship / reflected a deeper truth:/ our identity before God is more important/ than our image before people.
The blessings of God follow David; Michael addresses, his conduct; and David a response:
And David returned to bless his household.
But Michal the daughter of Saul came out to meet David and said, “How the king of Israel honored himself today, uncovering himself today before the eyes of his servants’ female servants, as one of the vulgar fellows shamelessly uncovers himself!” DAVID’S BOLD RESPONSE
And David said to Michal, “It was before the Lord, who chose me above your father and above all his house, to appoint me as prince over Israel, the people of the Lord—and I will celebrate before the Lord.
I will make myself yet more contemptible than this, and I will be abased in your eyes.
But by the female servants of whom you have spoken, (by them I shall be held in honor).”👈🏼(Why)
👉🏼because they seen the heart
He wasn't going to let know one stop is praise
Bold and firm It was before the Lord and Not you!
TEACH
Whatever you do, work heartily, as for the Lord and not for men,
Michal was possibly seeing through her fleshley eyes; jelouse; angry; David Lost in the moment “It was only Him and God”.
Not everyone will celebrate your victories
As the Lord Raises you, beware of those who celebrate with you!! and those around you!
If there is one thing the enemy wants that is to stop you from what the Lord wants to do in your life!
Point 3: Radical Worship Attracts the Blessing of God
Psalm 22:3 – “God inhabits the praises of His people.”/ Dios habita las alabanzas de su pueblo
This was a moment that made history...
Hosting Gods presence / /through the Tabernacle!
But now he Doesn't dwell in a box but in us!
Acts 16:25–26 – Paul and Silas worshipped, and the prison shook—God responded.
When we worship/ God Responds!
When we Worship / Chains ⛓️💥 break ;Prison doors open
and the priests could not perform their service because of the cloud, for the glory of the Lord filled the temple of God.
God responds to worship/ not just with emotion, with his manifest presence and power.
Michal calls David out for Worshiping / and nearly exposed in his Tunic.
Michal missed the moment; / Something So big;/ the Ark that lead there people out Egypt
DAVID RESPONDS
I will become even more undignified than this, and I will be humiliated in my own eyes. But by these slave girls you spoke of, I will be held in honor.”
And Michal daughter of Saul had no children to the day of her death.
He must increase, but I must decrease.”
Conclusion:
David danced before the Lord with all his might
His worship was so raw, so passionate, that some called it foolish, but to David, it was personal.
David’s dance was more than a moment—it was a movement.
A declaration that God’s presence is worth every shout, every tear, every sacrifice, and every step of the dance.
Salvation Call:
Closing Prayer
