How Shall He Come?

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine how we approach God's presence in our lives and churches. The story of David bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem serves as a vivid illustration of the dangers of pursuing convenience over obedience. We're reminded that God's glory doesn't move according to our methods, but His. The tragic death of Uzzah teaches us that good intentions aren't enough - God requires our reverence and adherence to His instructions. This prompts us to ask: How are we approaching God's presence? Are we relying on our own strength and familiarity, or are we truly seeking His way? As we reflect on our church culture, we're urged to return to a raw, authentic demonstration of faith - one that values the burden of prayer and the joy of genuine praise over polished performances. This message calls us to rekindle our hunger for God's presence, even if it means embracing discomfort and sacrifice. It's a timely reminder that in our pursuit of growth and relevance, we must never lose sight of the power and transformative nature of God's glory.
