09/15/19 Sunday Morning - Macclenny Primitive Baptist Church

Summary

The sermon explores the story of the Ark of the Covenant in 1 Samuel 5, emphasizing the holiness and sovereignty of God who is not to be treated as a mere object or tool for human benefit. It warns against functional paganism—worshiping God based on what He can do for us rather than who He is—and stresses that God is worthy of worship regardless of circumstances or feelings. The message encourages believers to serve God faithfully even when His presence is not felt or when life is challenging, recognizing that God's ways and timing are sovereign and beyond human control.
