… he both died and was buried, and his tomb is with us to this day. So he was speaking as a prophet, and he knew that God had promised him on oath that he would set one of his descendants on his throne.

Jesus, exalted to God's right hand, has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit, and he has poured out this day what you now see and hear because it was not David who ascended into the heavens, but David says, The Lord said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand until I make all your enemies a footstool for your feet.

Now, in light of that, preacher exposing the voice of God and exalting the greatness of God, I want us to begin to think about how this is looking in our culture today. In our worship or in our preaching, would you say that our preaching and our worship is more man-centered or is it more God-centered?

How many times do we walk away and over lunch on Sunday afternoon, we sit around and have a discussion about what God thought of our worship service? Man-centered or God-centered?
