An Enduring Approach to God-Honoring Ministry

Sermon Overview

David spent the final years of his life preparing for the future construction of the temple of Yahweh. In his prayer, David leads the people and His son Solomon into the right perspective they will need in order to complete the work. In today’s message, we learn three reflections of a God-honoring approach to doing God’s work.

1. Acknowledgment of God’s Supreme Worth (29:10-13)
   • His Eternal Blessedness
   • His Exclusive Excellense
   • His Rightful Reign
   • His Enabling Generosity
2. Awareness of Our Undeserved Privilege (29:14-17a)
   • The Undeserved Privilege of Generous Giving
     • We are Unable
     • We are Unnecessary
     • We are Unimportant
     • We are Unstable
   • The Undeserved Privilege of Divine Pleasure
3. Aspiration for Others’ Continued Faithfulness (29:17b-20)
   • Faithfulness of the People
   • Faithfulness of the Leadership
