Undignified Before the Lord

Jul 14, 2024 • The Rev. Charlie Holt

David's victories over Saul's house, the Jebusites, and the Philistines show that the battle belongs to the Lord, and David wins by first asking God whether and how to fight. Restoring the verses the lectionary omits, the sermon tells of Uzzah struck down beside the ark and David's second, rightly ordered procession, dancing in a linen ephod while Michal looks on in contempt. The glory belongs to the Lord too, even at the cost of one's dignity.
