    David slips in his relationship with God​

    1 Samuel 21 + 22

    • When our relationship with God slips, holiness always decreases.​
    • He was more concerned with the outward presentation, neglecting the inward truth.​
    • “How much more today will their vessels be holy?”
      • Holiness is to be ‘set apart’.​
      • Holiness is about the inward, not merely the outward.​
      • Are we set apart from the world we live in?​
      • Peter 1:15, “As he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct.”
      • SUBSTITUTION: FEAR OF GOD FOR FEAR OF MAN

        • Have we substituted holy living towards God for other things?​
        • When we substitute a relationship with God through holy living, our hearts harden towards him.​
        • Don’t substitute God for anything. He is enough!
          • David rediscovers relationship with God… Will you?​
          • Today let us repent of our mistrust of God​
          • Let us repent of self-sufficiency​
          • The Holy Spirit wants to empower us to live holy lives​
          • There is no substitute for the Holy Spirit

                        1. Do you believe in the power of God​ to change any person/situation?​

                          • Don’t underestimate the power of God​
