I am so excited about today's sermon. I've been
0:03
like feeding off of it personally for weeks now,
0:07
and I wish you could sometimes see me sermon
0:10
prepping, because sometimes I just will laugh
0:13
out loud at delight over something I find in
0:15
the Word. And this has just been one of those,
0:18
you know, Preaching is always good, but sometimes
0:21
it's just like, Lord, that's just going to be
0:23
fun to preach. I'm going to enjoy preaching that.
0:25
And that is this sermon today. Psalm 96. I did
0:29
not intend this to kind of be a setup for Mother's
0:32
Day, but as I was preparing, it kind of just
0:35
fell into that. And so it's setting the stage
0:38
for next week's sermon, What Drives You? So let's
0:43
go to the actual text is going to be verse 6
0:47
of Psalm 96. And it says, honor and majesty are
0:53
before him. Strength and beauty are in his sanctuary.
1:01
Honor and majesty are before him. Strength and
1:04
beauty are in his sanctuary. Now, I want to kind
1:09
of just set the stage for this a little bit before
1:12
we dive into this chapter. One of my favorite
1:17
phrases, because it resonates in me with my journey
1:23
toward heaven, is the principle of true north.
1:28
And in 1 Thessalonians, we're going to take a
1:31
few moments to kind of just create some context
1:35
for the passage. Why it's such an important passage.
1:39
And in 1 Thessalonians 4 .16, it says, Isn't
1:54
it an interesting contrast to his first arrival?
1:57
A dark night with just the angels and the shepherds.
2:02
Nobody seeing his arrival. His second return
2:06
is not going to be like that. shall be caught
2:16
up together with them in the clouds to meet the
2:20
Lord in the air. And thus we shall always be
2:25
with the Lord. Therefore, comfort one another
2:29
with these words. Another version says encourage.
2:34
Therefore, encourage one another with these words.
2:40
I think that an interesting statistic. is that
2:44
of the second coming of Jesus Christ, it is mentioned
2:49
in the Old Testament, 17 and 17 books. In the
2:55
New Testament, the second coming of Christ is
2:58
mentioned in 23 out of the 27 books. It is mentioned
3:06
300 times in the New Testament. Of the 260 chapters
3:13
of the New Testament. So what we find is that
3:19
one out of every 30 verses refers to the second
3:24
coming of Christ. And I think about how much
3:29
we talk about it or teach about it in the church
3:32
today. When it is such a huge emphasis in the
3:37
New Testament. The second coming of Christ. Encourage
3:42
one another. Comfort one another with these words.
3:46
The New Testament people knew what it was to
3:49
walk through trials and difficulties and persecution.
3:52
And so continually they're said, hey, he's coming
3:56
again. Don't be downcast. Lift up your heads.
4:01
He's coming again. They were constantly, they
4:04
talked about this all the time. The early church
4:07
had a huge focus on the return of Christ. And
4:12
we hesitate around it because it's such a complicated
4:15
subject. And we may not be able to figure out
4:20
all the details of what it's going to look like
4:24
or how it's going to happen. All I know is. Jesus
4:29
is coming again and we shall forever be with
4:33
him. So be encouraged this morning in your hardship.
4:38
I know it's hard. I know it feels exhausting.
4:42
It will come to an end and you will forever be
4:45
with Jesus. This is my true north. This is what
4:51
I align my life to are these kind of passages.
4:57
That Jesus is going to come back. It's what I
5:01
align my life to. I align my decisions to. I
5:05
align my choices to. And so we know he's coming
5:12
again. We know that it's going to get difficult.
5:17
And thus we have Psalm 96. Oh, sing to the Lord
5:23
a new song. Sing to the Lord, all the earth.
5:29
Sing to the Lord, bless his name. Proclaim the
5:34
good news of his salvation from day to day. Declare
5:41
his glory among the nations, his wonders among
5:45
all peoples. For the Lord is great and greatly
5:50
to be praised. He is to be feared above all gods.
5:55
For all the gods of the peoples are idols. But
6:01
the Lord made the heavens. Honor and majesty
6:04
are before him. Strength and beauty are in his
6:09
sanctuary. Give to the Lord, O families of the
6:13
peoples. Give to the Lord glory and strength.
6:17
Give to the Lord the glory due his name. Bring
6:22
an offering and come into his courts. O worship
6:26
the Lord in the beauty of holiness. Tremble before
6:30
him, all the earth. Say among the nations, the
6:35
Lord reigns. The world also is firmly established.
6:40
It shall not be moved. He shall judge the peoples
6:44
righteously. Let the heavens rejoice and let
6:48
the earth be glad. Let the sea roar and all its
6:52
fullness. Let the field be joyful in all that
6:56
is in it. Then all the trees of the woods will
7:00
rejoice before the Lord. For he is coming. For
7:05
he is coming to judge the earth. He shall judge
7:09
the world with righteousness and the peoples
7:13
with his truth. He is coming again. we're going
7:21
to look here at two views. We're going to take
7:25
a broad view, and then we're going to take a
7:27
narrow view. And the broad view, if you think
7:33
about a broad view, I'm about to leave this afternoon
7:36
to drive to St. Louis, where I will pick up my
7:40
grandsons and bring them home. So when I am sitting
7:46
in my driveway, I'm going to type into Maps,
7:50
Trader Joe's. Because I will be going to Trader
7:54
Joe's before I get the grandkids. I'm not sure
7:58
if I'm more excited over Trader Joe's or the
8:02
grandkids. No. I'm going to Trader Joe's to buy
8:05
things for my grandkids so they can eat healthy
8:09
this week. But what am I doing? I'm typing the
8:12
address of where I want my journey to go, where
8:16
I want it to take me. It's a very broad view.
8:19
It's taking me cross -states to where I want
8:25
to go. What is interesting about this passage
8:29
is that this psalm was written, and we find it
8:33
in one other place in Scripture, and that is
8:37
in 1 Chronicles 16. And in 1 Chronicles chapter
8:42
16, this is such a day of rejoicing because King
8:46
David is bringing the Ark of the Tabernacle,
8:49
the Ark of the Covenant, into the tabernacle
8:52
to set it up. And so I'm going to just summarize
8:56
here. You can read this later. But they brought
8:59
the Ark of God, represented his presence for
9:04
the people, and they set it in the midst of the
9:07
tabernacle that David had erected for it. and
9:11
they offered burnt offerings and peace offerings
9:14
before God. And then he distributed to everyone
9:18
of Israel, both man and woman, a loaf of bread,
9:23
a piece of meat, and a cake of raisins. It was
9:26
party time. This was a celebration. The presence
9:31
of God is here. It says, on that day, David first
9:39
delivered this psalm into the hand of Asaph and
9:43
his brethren to thank the Lord. And then it is
9:50
listed, the whole psalm that we just read. Now,
9:54
whether David wrote the song for this occasion
9:58
or whether he did what I do to the worship team,
10:03
And I will send them on their worship team page
10:07
songs and say, I need you to learn this because
10:10
I've got a sermon in mind, right? So whether
10:14
David was writing it for this or he'd had that
10:17
in him and he wanted to use it for this occasion,
10:20
we don't know. But we know that there was something
10:23
of this psalm that reflected David's heart for
10:28
this occasion of establishing. the covenant in
10:32
the tabernacle, the ark. And so our landing spot
10:38
is verse 6 that we read. Strength and beauty
10:42
are in the sanctuary. But when we look at this
10:48
entire passage, we do so with an interesting
10:52
understanding, because when David was establishing
10:56
the ark of the covenant in the tabernacle, It
10:59
was for Israel, wasn't it? It was for his people.
11:05
And yet what we find in this verse is that there's
11:09
no limitations in it for just Israel. In fact,
11:14
if we just, there's kind of three sections of
11:17
it. There's this proclamation that is beyond
11:22
Israel and to all people. Sing to the Lord, all
11:27
the earth. All the earth, not just Israel. Proclaim
11:33
the news of his salvation. Well, what does that
11:38
speak to us? If you haven't received his salvation,
11:42
you can't really proclaim it. And so what I'm
11:46
hearing in this is that the good news of salvation
11:49
is not just for Israel. Praise the Lord, all
11:55
the Gentiles. Right? Declare his glory among
12:02
the nations. This is why we support missionaries
12:06
to declare his glory among the nations. This
12:11
is beyond Israel. His wonders among all people.
12:19
This is an occasion that is for Israel. It just
12:25
is so fascinating because we say this all the
12:28
time. David is continually foreshadowing of the
12:31
new covenant. There's a call to worship in this
12:37
passage. A call to worship that goes beyond Israel.
12:42
We read it, sing to the Lord all the earth. He's
12:45
calling for worship from not just Israel, but
12:50
all the earth. Verses 7 through 9, if you reread
12:59
those, are a clear call of worship of families
13:02
and the whole earth, not just Israel. And then
13:08
the reason, he summarizes the reason for all
13:11
of this, and that is verse 10 through the end.
13:16
There's great joy in creation because he is coming
13:21
to judge the world. All peoples, it says. All
13:28
families, all the earth, he is coming for. And
13:33
so here we have this occasion that is uniquely
13:36
for Israel. God was very clear in the old covenant
13:42
of the separation of those that were not of Israel
13:45
and Israel. He did not want them intermarrying.
13:48
He did not want them to bring in the idols of
13:51
the other nations. And so this occasion was solely
13:54
for Israel. And yet the psalm that they sang
13:58
was one that included all of creation. It was
14:03
a song. Did they have any kind of concept, really,
14:08
of what it meant for God to come for his people?
14:13
They had very dark vision for it. And so the
14:19
whole context of Psalm 96 is the return. He is
14:23
coming. He is coming to judge the earth. The
14:27
coming of his kingdom is our destiny. And sometimes
14:33
we have that as the back thought of our life
14:37
when he's wanting it to be our true north, our
14:40
first and foremost. He is coming again. He is
14:45
returning. His kingdom is our destiny. And so
14:50
because of where we're headed, the psalmist here
14:54
is commanding us to do these things, to sing
14:58
and to declare and to spread the news. It's a
15:01
very broad view of where we are headed one day.
15:08
It's a very broad view of when your life is ending,
15:11
where you will be at the end of your life. If
15:17
you are passing on before he comes again. It's
15:22
a very broad view. Now, we want to get a little
15:26
bit narrow. We want to get a little bit narrow
15:29
view. See, when I type in my destiny into my
15:34
Maps app, it's going to just take me straight
15:38
there, right? But I don't know about you. We
15:41
are usually in there adding in search for Starbucks.
15:49
I got to take some side trips. I guarantee you
15:53
after filling up my vehicle and it being 479
15:57
yesterday, I will be finding a gas station in
16:01
Missouri to fill up on, right? And so within
16:07
my broad view of my destination, there are places
16:11
along the journey that I've got to stop and fuel
16:14
up, both me and my vehicle. This is our narrow
16:19
view. So knowing we need fuel for our journey,
16:25
we turn our eyes to verse 6. Honor and majesty
16:31
are before him. Strength and beauty are in his
16:38
sanctuary. There are two things I know. First
16:44
thing, growth is dependent upon you. how you
16:51
grow in your faith in becoming like Christ as
16:56
a believer. Growth is dependent upon your choice.
17:01
As a pastor, one of my favorite passages in Acts
17:06
chapter 2 that says they devoted themselves to
17:12
the apostles' teaching, to the breaking of bread,
17:16
and to prayer, and to fellowship to one another.
17:20
They devoted themselves. Nobody had to do it
17:27
for them. They devoted themselves. Right? So
17:32
for so long in this church, I would at potlucks
17:35
have to go around and be like, oh, you're sitting
17:38
alone. Come sit over here with them. But I love
17:42
in this passage of Acts, it says they devoted
17:44
themselves to fellowship. Because for a long
17:48
time, we had a large population of introverted
17:51
people. They devoted themselves. Nobody has to
17:57
do it for them. The choice is theirs. So I know
18:03
this about growth. I can't partake of the word
18:07
for you. I can't be in his presence for you.
18:11
There's no priest here doing it for you. The
18:15
choice is yours. They devoted themselves. The
18:19
second thing that I recognize is that we are
18:23
an impoverished people. The first beatitude says,
18:28
blessed are the poor in spirit. So I know the
18:34
choice of growth is ours, and I also understand
18:38
there's nothing in me that will cause me to grow.
18:42
Okay, let me summarize it like this. The choice
18:46
to stop and get gas is mine, but the fuel does
18:52
not originate with me. I've got to take what
18:56
that gas station has to offer to fill up my tank
19:02
to keep going on the journey. And that's what
19:08
I think Psalm 96 verse 6 consists of. The fuel
19:16
that you need to keep going, looking toward his
19:21
return. We look forward to the return of Christ,
19:30
but in it we recognize that it is going to be
19:33
marked by hard times, right? In the word, we
19:37
hear about wars, rumors of war, all kinds of
19:40
conflict. And so we recognize that the season
19:44
of his return is marked by increased darkness.
19:50
Yet we look toward it with joy, don't we? It's
19:53
an interesting dynamic that we walk in. And so
19:58
we recognize that there's trial, that there's
20:01
difficulty. So we need what Psalm 96 .6 has for
20:08
us. What will fuel us on our pilgrimage? Strength
20:15
and beauty, that which was within the sanctuary.
20:21
Can I just give you some words that make up the
20:27
word strength and some words that make up the
20:31
word beauty? It's words like boldness. Words
20:41
like power. Words like might, strength. How many
20:53
of you look at your life and say it's full of
20:56
boldness and power? It's words like majesty,
21:05
honor, and bravery. Wow. You know, beauty, we
21:12
often think so much of the outward comeliness
21:15
of something or someone, which is part of it.
21:20
But the beauty that is in the sanctuary of the
21:23
Lord is so much more than that. The beauty and
21:27
the sanctuary of the Lord make up bravery. I
21:37
just had to sit on that for a long time. Bravery
21:42
and honor are in his sanctuary. And so he's writing
21:49
this psalm, and he's saying, the king is going
21:52
to come again. He's going to return. And so in
21:58
the sanctuary, you can find what you need, some
22:03
power, some might. Some honor, some bravery.
22:09
How many of you would look at your life and say,
22:12
I feel brave? I tell you, our kids need bravery
22:21
for the schools that they are getting. Some of
22:25
you that are teaching in the schools, you know,
22:27
you need some bravery in there. It's a hard place
22:32
for kids. They need what is in the sanctuary
22:37
of the Lord. Bravery and honor, power and boldness.
22:45
I just did a podcast where we were talking about
22:49
the disciples and where they were after the resurrection
22:54
of Jesus. And on the day of the resurrection,
22:59
they were locked in a room for fear of the Jews.
23:05
And that's where Jesus found them and breathed
23:08
upon them. And after they were filled with the
23:13
Holy Spirit, they tapped into something, didn't
23:16
they? And they were no longer, you were not going
23:20
to find them. When they were imprisoned, they
23:23
were singing and praying. They were not hiding
23:27
out in fear for what the Jews could do any longer.
23:31
They have become people of power, of might, of
23:34
bravery. And we, no less, have access to that.
23:43
And so this morning, even as we were singing
23:46
this morning, we were singing of the sacrifice
23:48
of Jesus. And the truth is, is that we have access
23:54
into the sanctuary of his presence. Because Jesus
24:00
paid a high price for the access. When I stop
24:04
and put fuel in my vehicle, I am paying a very
24:08
high price. Man, I'm getting all kinds of amens
24:13
for the gas prices today. Jesus, no less. He
24:22
paid a high price. For us to have access to what
24:27
we need as we await for the return of our king.
24:31
Praise the Lord. Praise the Lord. Praise the
24:36
Lord. And so this should affect how I live my
24:42
life, shouldn't it? It should affect my life
24:46
when I have access. To the sanctuary of his presence.
24:51
Where there is strength and beauty for me to
24:55
partake of. It should affect my life. It should
24:58
affect how I lead my family. It should affect
25:01
how I am in the workplace. It should affect how
25:04
I treat my spouse. It should affect how I treat
25:07
my kids. It should affect how I treat my body.
25:11
It should affect how we treat one another. It
25:13
should affect anything that my hand finds to
25:16
do. of access into the throne room, into the
25:20
sanctuary where strength and where beauty are
25:25
available to me. No excuses. That removes every
25:32
excuse. There is sufficiency in the sanctuary
25:36
for what we need. He's given us everything that
25:41
we need. And sometimes we think that As a believer,
25:46
I just automatically, I'm going to walk in this,
25:49
and I don't believe that's true. I don't believe
25:52
you're automatically going to walk in power and
25:54
boldness. I don't automatically think you're
25:56
going to walk in bravery. I think you automatically
26:00
have access to it. You have access to it. But
26:08
whether like the gas stations, you keep passing
26:11
up and passing up and passing up, never stopping
26:14
to fuel your vehicle. There's no way to access
26:19
what is in the sanctuary except to get in the
26:22
sanctuary. There's no way to access it except
26:26
to get into his presence. Your spouse can't do
26:31
it for you. Your parents can't do it for you.
26:34
Your best friend, your pastor can't do it for
26:37
you. You have to access the sanctuary of his
26:40
presence yourself. And it is there waiting for
26:45
you. It is there waiting for you. Beauty, bravery,
26:51
power, and might are in his sanctuary. And so,
27:00
You have access to this when you are confronting
27:02
your hard places, when you're confronting your
27:06
flesh that wants to do what it wants to do, right?
27:10
How many just love crucifying the flesh? No,
27:14
we don't. Very few of us like to fast. Very few
27:20
of us like to be in silence and to stop moving.
27:23
Very few of us like the spiritual disciplines
27:27
because our flesh doesn't like it. Your flesh
27:32
will not want to be still long enough to access
27:36
the sanctuary. But we have access in it to confront
27:42
our battles. I was thinking of this. In worship,
27:48
I felt the Holy Spirit stirring in me. Some of
27:53
you have kids that are prodigal kids. And I felt
28:00
specifically that the Lord wanted to encourage
28:03
some of you today that have prodigal kids. Often,
28:10
people that have kids that have chosen to walk
28:14
away from the Lord. live in very much fear over
28:19
the state of their kids, of where they'll end
28:22
up, which is valid, right? A valid concern. And
28:29
when we let fear in, what that fear does is it
28:34
renders, it takes away our authority to pray
28:38
with effectiveness over our kids. And I remember
28:44
early on in our journey with this, I really felt
28:49
the Lord, which the Lord has always given me
28:52
in unique ways, words over my own journey with
28:59
a kid like this. And in that word, what he imparts,
29:07
because this is what the word of the Lord does,
29:09
it imparts faith. and it dispels fear. And I
29:14
remember at one point the Lord saying, you don't
29:17
get to determine your kids' journey and what
29:21
I'm going to do for their life. And sometimes
29:24
my kids' journeys, in order for them, for God
29:28
to do what is going to happen in their lives
29:31
for the good of the kingdom, there's a journey
29:33
they've got to walk. And for some of you that
29:38
have that, it requires bravery to face that and
29:44
to walk that path and not let fear incapacitate
29:49
you from praying for your kid, for standing in
29:52
authority over demonic forces over your kid.
29:56
Because although it's your kid's journey, right,
29:58
they've been given to us to pray over and to
30:02
cover. And so specifically this morning, some
30:06
of you that have kids that are not walking with
30:09
the Lord, he wants you to access bravery, to
30:16
not be fearful, to not look. When we get in fear,
30:19
we begin to imagine where they're going to end
30:22
up. And instead, to see what God can do and begin
30:27
to declare that over our kid. Thereby standing
30:32
in the place of faith. It requires bravery. It
30:35
is a hard thing to do. It is a hard thing to
30:40
do. And the only way you can do it with victory
30:43
is to stay in the sanctuary where strength and
30:48
beauty reside. Where you have unending access
30:51
to power and might and bravery. To stand in the
30:57
place of faith for whatever your battle is. You
31:02
have access. I was thinking as I was starting
31:07
this sermon on this phrase, eyes on the road,
31:10
keep your eyes on the road, right? And when you
31:14
are teaching, anybody ever had to teach a kid
31:16
to drive? Yeah, you're about to, Ben, Charlene.
31:24
David, I think, is in that journey right now.
31:28
I was so glad to get my fourth one through it.
31:30
It's like, ah, one more to go. And what you have
31:35
to teach them is about where they put their eyes.
31:40
Because to keep your eyes on the road is to keep
31:42
your eyes down the road, right? Not on the bumper
31:46
right in front of you. Not on the lines right
31:49
in front of you. Maintaining 100 % focus ahead
31:53
of what is coming. keeps you on the road. And
31:59
see, some of us lose sight of the long road.
32:02
Some of us lose sight of where our road is leading
32:05
us. And as soon as we start looking at the bumper
32:09
in front of us, and that's all we see, we get
32:13
into trouble. And yet, while our eyes are looking
32:18
on the road down further, we're also teaching
32:21
them, but you also got to keep in your peripheral.
32:24
An eye on, you don't assume that that car is
32:27
going to stop at the stoplight. You just assume
32:30
they're going to come straight in and barrel
32:32
into you. And so we're on this long view of the
32:37
king coming and all the while we have an enemy
32:40
that wants to just barrel through the red lights
32:42
and ram right into you. And so our vision is
32:48
so important. Keeping our vision ahead to what
32:52
is to come and yet being mindful of the hazards
32:57
on the way. Some of us this morning need to refix
33:04
our eyes on where we're going. You've been overcome.
33:09
You've been overwhelmed. You've been discouraged.
33:13
And today, you need to lift up your eyes. For
33:17
the king is coming. In that verse, it was full
33:20
of joy. All creation was full of joy because
33:24
he was returning. The king is coming. They're
33:27
filled with joy and excitement. The bridegroom
33:30
is coming. There's excitement in the air. The
33:34
bridegroom is coming. Right? I see Kenzie back
33:38
there. No, that's not Kenzie. Kenzie's not here
33:41
today. Kenzie and Gage are getting married in
33:43
a couple of weeks. And what is surrounding the
33:45
wedding? activity, joy, excitement. The king
33:50
is coming. He's returning. And we see it reflected
33:53
in Psalm 96. And some of us need to get our eyes
33:57
back on that. We're off of true north and we
34:00
need to get realigned with the coming of the
34:03
king. And to fill up, to quit running on empty,
34:10
to quit running on empty and to fill up. Yeah,
34:15
people are going to do you wrong. Yeah, people
34:20
are going to backstab you. Yeah, people are going
34:22
to betray you. Yeah, things are going to get
34:24
hard. But you have access to the strength and
34:31
the beauty of the sanctuary. And so the team
34:35
is going to come back this morning. And as we
34:38
spend a few moments in worship, there are some
34:42
of us that need to get realigned. with our vision.
34:46
And there are some of us that need to tap in
34:49
to what is available to you in the sanctuary.
34:53
You need a fresh commitment to the sanctuary
34:56
of his presence marking your life. You need a
35:01
fresh commitment to quit trying to fuel yourself.
35:05
You've been living on cheap gas and God wants
35:08
to give you high quality gas. You laugh and I
35:11
buy the cheap gas. You do too, confessions. How
35:17
many are cheap gas buyers? Yeah. And some of
35:21
you are like, no way am I putting that stuff
35:22
in my vehicle. That's the way I feel about food
35:25
in my body. There's no way that junk is coming
35:27
into my body. Some of us spiritually have been
35:32
fueling on cheap gas. And there is an abundance
35:37
in the sanctuary he wants to give to you today.
35:42
And so this morning, we're going to give you
35:44
an opportunity. See, it's only 1136. And so for
35:50
just a few moments, can we just in his presence,
35:57
the sanctuary of his presence, can we ask for
36:02
an impartation? Maybe there's a specific thing
36:06
you need from God today. It's available in his
36:10
presence. And so the team is going to lead us.
36:16
And in a moment, if you need to fix your vision,
36:20
if you need to access and tap into what is in
36:23
the sanctuary, we just want to make space for
36:26
you for a few moments. To push everything aside
36:30
and say, God, my eyes are fixed on where we are
36:33
going. Your soon and coming return. Would you
36:37
fuel me today for it? Would you bestow your beauty
36:41
upon me today? Would you bestow bravery upon
36:45
me today? Would you bestow your strength, your
36:48
power, and your might upon me today? And so let's
36:53
just all stand for a moment in these closing
36:55
moments. And as we all just worship, I don't
37:03
want any spectators today because we are here
37:05
in his presence. And as we all begin to worship
37:10
the wonderful King Jesus, if you need to, for
37:15
a moment, make a fresh altar in your life, I
37:20
want you to just take a step out. And for some
37:22
of you, just taking that step is a step of bravery.
37:28
It's uncomfortable for you. But that's okay.
37:32
There's bravery for you, right? There's strength
37:35
and boldness for you. And some of you need to
37:38
get a little bit bold, a little bit more into
37:42
the might of the Lord and step out in faith and
37:46
just say, God, I'm coming after you. I'm coming
37:49
after the sanctuary of your presence. And I want
37:54
to be filled fresh. I want to feed afresh on
37:58
what is in the tangible presence of the Lord.
38:03
Thank you, Lord. Let's just begin to worship
38:06
for a few moments. And you make your way and
38:09
find a place to just get into the sanctuary of
38:14
his presence.
