Part 21 of our "Draw Near" series explores the eternal plan of God to address human sin through the lens of prophetic Old Testament passages, particularly David's words in Psalm 40. Pastor Tommy contrasts ritualistic offerings with God's desire for genuine obedience and a devoted heart. The sermon connects these themes to the New Covenant established by Christ's sacrifice, highlighting Christianity as a relationship-based faith marked by gratitude, not obligation. The empowering role of the Holy Spirit in living out devotion is emphasized, encapsulating the essence of Christianity as a response to God's love and grace.
