David, Real Zeal Part 4 (19 of 32)
Series: Keeping It Real

II Samuel 6
Introduction:
You know you're too old to trick or treat when:
10. You get winded from knocking on the door.
9. You have to have another kid chew the candy for you.
8. You ask for high fiber candy only.
7. When someone drops a candy bar in your bag you lose your balance and fall over.
6. People say: "Great Boris Karloff Mask," and you're not wearing a mask. ??

So far we've seen that real zeal is devout, deferential, informed by the word of God and inspired by the heart of God. In this final message I want to focus on what may be the most obvious quality of zeal and that is real zeal is demonstrative. Let's look at three qualities of demonstrative zeal.

When those who were carrying the ark of the Lord had taken six steps, he sacrificed a bull and a fattened calf. David, wearing a linen ephod, danced before the Lord with all his might, while he and the entire house of Israel brought up the ark of the Lord with sho ...
