Sixteps

six steps
is more than a name, it’s a value. It’s a way of life.
It’s a vision: six steps is about “worship with poles.”

“worship with poles”

Poles?? What do poles have to do with worship?

For the answer we must return to earlier times. In Old Testament days, the Ark of the Lord was the most precious possession of the people of God. The Ark was the embodiment of His very presence… His glory among His people. It’s a long, sad story, but the Ark was captured by the enemies of God (the dreaded Philistines). Upon discovering that God’s glory is not something to be taken lightly, the Philistines returned the Ark to the Israelites. In time, came to rest at a guy named Abinadab’s house. Finally David sought to return the Ark to its rightful place, Jerusalem.

The journey was a perilous one because the people of God had forgotten about the ways of God, attempting to transport the Ark on a wooden cart. After disastrous consequences, the Ark was again put on poles, like God had instructed in the first place. Once the Ark was again carried properly, the journey to Jerusalem resumed safely. David and his men were so grateful, so happy that they were alive in the presence of such glory, they took six steps, built an altar and offered a sacrifice of praise to God. They were humbled and amazed in the presence of a Holy God. Thus: six steps, worship.
2 Samuel 6:13

The heartbeat of a generation passionate for His fame
& the unending memory of His name.
