Red Bluff Baptist Church

NOTES

What happens when worship gets real?

1. Like David, some react by dancing (vv. 14-15)
   • Step 1: Reverence - an awareness of the presence of God
   • Step 2: Surrender - an inward "bowing down" to God (Exodus 7:16, Luke 4:5-7)
   • Step 3: Expression - an unashamed devotion to God
2. Like Michal, some react to dancing (vv. 16-20)
   • The non-worshipper:
     • Observes worship without experiencing worship
     • Rejects worship as a threat

When will your worship get personal? (vv. 21-23)

You will find yourself "dancing" like David when...

1. The only audience you care about is Jesus Christ (v. 21a)
2. You experience a living God at work in your life (v. 21)
3. Inner devotion overwhelms your ned to protect or promote self (vv. 21-22)
