VII. Weakness turns to Worship 6:14-22
· Most of the time, our failure to accept the direction of God to do a work is our lack of confidence in ourselves, not God.
· You will never know what God can do with you until you surrender.
· Have you ever wondered if your offering to God is received by God?
· Our worship should be an acceptable sacrifice of praise, possession or life filled with humility and gratitude before Jehovah God!
· The affordable sacrifice is not a sacrifice.
· It wasn’t what Cain gave. It was how he gave what he gave.
· The gift of praise, possession or life is a reflection of the heart and faith of the believer.
· Fear is the natural response of anyone when meeting with holiness.
· If God is holy and sin cannot abide in His presence, yet He is omnipresent, why do we as sinners not die?
· God looks on sin yet withholds judgment of sin by hiding His countenance which would be His full person.
· Jehovah-shalom speaks to the nature of God not just a name of God.
VII. Real Worship Leads to Repentance 6:25-27
· Repentance is more than sorrow or regret. It is to make a judgment of the past and a redirection of the future.
· God was creating a warrior out of a wimp, a conqueror out of a coward and a leader for His people.
· An idol of the heart is anything that rules me other than God.
· There is no use building a new altar of sacrifice if you don’t tear down the old one.
· The greatest influence of any change in our lives will be on those closest to us
VIII. The Impact of One Man’s Commitment 6:25-27
· We have no idea how big an influence the change in our lives can have on others
