Who Is This King of Glory?

Some people may first think of a Third Day song, but their inspiration came from David's exact question in Psalm 24.

Today that was my assigned text for a sermon I gave at the Health Center area where I intern.

Here's my outline.

I. The earth is the LORD’s.
A. Shows God’s government over the whole world.
1. David shows that God is interested in all nations.
2. David shows that the whole earth is God’s concern.
B. Shows God’s creation is delightful to him.
1. Worthy of our stewardship.
2. Worthy of our respect.

II. Worship is the LORD’s.
A. Hypocrites not welcome.
1. A holy God must be worshipped by sanctified people.
2. A holy God must be worshiped by an exclusive people.
B. Holy worshippers welcome.
1. They will be blessed.
2. They will be saved.

III. Honor is the LORD’s
A. The temple to be opened to him
1. Because of his might
2. Because of his Kingship
B. We should be opened to him.
1. He is God.
2. He is King.

Closed with:
There is a contemporary expression of this Psalm which is in a modern worship song and one lyric says:
Who is this King of Glory
With strength and majesty
And wisdom beyond measure
The gracious King of kings
The Lord of Earth and Heaven
The Creator of all things
He is the King of Glory
He‘s everything to me

If this King of Glory is everything to you, then not only is your life in the hands of the one who created all things, but you are counted with those who are in this passage, the generation of those who seek after the God of Jacob. You have a great reward, salvation, vindication, forgiveness and peace because the King of Glory, God, is your King.
