1 Chronicles: Back to the Heart of Worship (4 of 10)
Series: Through the Bible
Roger Thomas
1 Chronicles 16:23-36
Introduction: A contemporary worship song we have been using in recent months has these lyrics:
When the music fades, and all has passed away,
and I simply come.
Longing just to bring something that's of worth,
that will bless your heart.
I'm coming back to the heart of worship,
Cause it's all about You, all about You Jesus.
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it,
When it's all about You, all about You, Jesus.
I'll bring You more than a song, for a song in its self, is not what You have desired,
You search much deeper within from the way things appear, You're looking into my heart.
I'm coming back to the heart of worship,
Cause it's all about You, all about You Jesus.
I'm sorry Lord for the thing I've made it,
When it's all about You, all about You, Jesus.
Those lyrics provide some deep food for thought. They make us thing about what worship is and what it is not. They contrast what we might want in worship and what God desires. They make the point that worship may be more than what we may often think. I want to explore those thoughts tonight as we move on to our next book in our Journey through the Bible.
Background: 1 Chronicles is an interesting book because it is so much like 2 Samuel, yet different. Let's put it in context by reviewing for a second. The history of the Old Testament could be outlined in the following periods:
1) The Patriarchs
2) The Creation of the Nation of Israel
3) The Conquest and Settling of the Promised Land
4) The Kingdom of Israel
5) The Division of the Kingdom
6) The Exile
7) The Return from Exile.
The Old Testament library divides into four major sections: Law, History, Poetry/Wisdom, and Prophets. These 39 books however are not organized in historical order. The chronology is pretty much intact from Genesis-2 Kings. 1 and 2 Chronicles then repeats 2 Samuel through 2 K ...
