About this sermon

Speaker: Ken Addison, Teaching Pastor Beulah Baptist Church | Hopkins, SC Sermon preached: July 26, 2026 Scripture: 2 Samuel 6:1–9 David wanted to bring the Ark of God back to Jerusalem, and the people celebrated with songs and instruments as they moved it. Yet they transported the Ark according to their own judgment instead of obeying God’s clear commands. When Uzzah reached out and took hold of the Ark, God struck him down, reminding us that good intentions never excuse disobedience or minimize God’s holiness. We do not worship God in our own way or approach Him on our own terms. Our sin deserves His holy justice, but Jesus took the death we deserve so that everyone who turns from sin and trusts in Christ can be forgiven, declared righteous, and brought near to God’s holy throne.
