261101 Follow Him Closely

Because God is multifaceted, following him closely often puts us in the middle of a tension that can only be resolved when we are intentional about knowing his heart in full. Although God commended Israel for fearing his glory and keeping their distance at Mount Sinai, David dared to go beyond what the law prescribed and seek God more intimately. Keeping the ark and the tabernacle separate from each other, though risky, allowed David to always live before the presence of God. In this life, we can settle for safe piety and religion, but there is no reward for that. The reward is for those who forsake the status quo to follow God closely. 1 Chronicles 15; 1 Chronicles 16; Deuteronomy 5; Genesis 19; Proverbs 30 NYC Sunday Sermon | November 1, 2026
