Theme sentence: As God’s people do everything by the book it leads them to build for God’s glory.

Aim sentence: This passage should challenge us to be people of God’s Word – building by his Word for His Glory.

Worship by the Book (1 – 6)

Their worship of God according to His Word was never an end in itself – They wanted God to be glorified through them – so they worshipped Him His way so that he would be glorified.

Building by the Book (7 – 9)

Their building according to His Word was never an end in itself – They wanted God to be glorified through this building – so they built His way so that he would be glorified.

Responding by the Book (10 – 13)

Their response to God according to His Word was never an end in itself – They wanted God to be glorified through their response – so they responded His way so that he would be glorified.

Now What?

We want to worship God according to His Word – Not because his Word is an end in itself – We don’t worship this book – But we listen to this book because the words contained in this book are the very Words of God – and we want God to be glorified through us – we listen to Him so that he will be glorified.
