2 Samuel 6: 1-15 // Tom Nelson

Where is lasting joy found? It is not found in managing God, lasting joy is found in the presence of God. Without God, there is no lasting joy. C.S. Lewis thought a lot about joy. One of his interesting insights I think he had about joy was the importance of proximity when it comes to experiencing joy. “If you want to get warm you must stand near the fire: if you want to be wet you must get into the water. If you want joy, power, peace, eternal life, you must get close to, or even into, the thing that has them.” Lewis is right, proximity matters, and so does presence. Joy flows in and through a close relationship with God himself. Without him, there is no lasting joy. Being yoked with Jesus leads us to a more attentive life, one that enjoys the presence of God and experiences lasting joy. He wants to show us the way. Will you trust him?

 How should we handle the things of God?  When it comes to His Word, worship, prayer, communion, baptism, and everything associated with our Christian walk, what happens when we are careless?  Fortunately for us, we can learn from the mistakes of others.  Unfortunately for Uzzah, he had to make the mistake to teach us. 

Taken from: 2 Samuel 6:1-15

In this Bible Story, we learn about David returning the Ark of the Covenant home to the people of Israel. However the revelry was quickly replaced by fear as Uzzah was struck down when he touched the ark. When the ark finally returned to Israel, David leaped for joy and danced among the people. He took off his kingly robes, which angers his wife. However David would not be embarrassed to show his love for God. This story is inspired by 2 Samuel 6 & 1 Chronicles 13, 15-17.

Today's Bible verse is 2 Samuel 6:16 from the King James Version.

Episode 99: With the battles of the Philistines now won, David sought to bring the Ark of the Covenant to Judah. Uzzah and Ahio carried the Ark on an ox-driven cart. But as they were on their way, the cart hit a bump and the Ark almost fell. Uzzah instinctively reached out to catch it, but this was not for him to do and so he died. David, furious and confused, kept the Ark at the home of Obed-Edom for three months. Then David sought again to move the Ark to Jerusalem, this time seeking God and offering sacrifices as he went. As the Ark entered the gates, all of Israel celebrated with loud shouts and dancing! All except Michal.

Pastor Stan brings a special message from 2 Samuel 6. 

The welcome we return to God must be as loving and liberating as the welcome we have received – a welcome that names and dismantles every system that holds anyone anywhere down, a welcome that leaves no one behind, a welcome that sets the whole world free. 

Today,  we will be going through a brief introduction to the book of Numbers, followed by an exploration through the first 4 chapters of the book. We will learn about what the Hebrew people titled the book a long time ago, and the  significance of this. We will also learn a little bit about the tribes of Judah and Reuben, and how prophecies made by Jacob long ago, had great effects upon the tribes up  to this point. Also, what was the punishment for touching the ark of the covenant? These details and many more, will be discussed in today's podcast teaching. 

In 2 Samuel 6, God's Presence is brought into the center of Israelite life once again, as King David brings the Ark of the Covenant into Jerusalem.  It's a great day of celebration and praise... and tragedy.  The God enthroned upon the Ark is a consuming fire, Who burns away those who presume to enter His presence in an unworthy manner.

If this is Who God is... should we be welcoming His Presence into our lives?  Isn't He too dangerous?  And what does the prancing, jubilant King have to teach us about God dwelling amongst His people?

Come for the fiery wrath of God.  Stay for the public nudity.

Isaiah found himself in the presence of God and recorded the only words he heard as being "Holy, holy, holy." The mere words of mankind fall short of describing the "otherness" of God. This week Pastor Tim uses the story of the death of Uzzah in 1 Chronicles 13 to remind us of how we can make the holiness of God an unimportant thing and the need to grow in our awe of Him. 

True worship requires us to focus our attention, affection and allegiance on Christ. So what does that look like and how can we do it?
