God in the House
Jerry Watts
Luke 7:36-50
You know him. He's the guy that when he walks into the room, things, change. He's the life of the party, he possesses the charisma that seems to draw people to him. His people skills are off the charts. When I think of someone like this, I'm reminded in the heydays of Elvis Pressley, that the big announcement was, ''Elvis has left the building.''
There is nothing better to experience than when our Lord comes in the building in a manifest way and becomes the central focus of it all.

When God is in the house - People know it. - A Pharisee invited HIS close FRIENDS and yet the word got around! People know when God is in the house and they know when He's not. This woman heard it.
When God is in the house - People want to be there, they show up. - God has placed into the heart of mankind to be where He is. Woven into our DNA is the desire to find God and commune with Him. Con ...
