Responding to God's Presence
by Christopher Harbin
There are different ways to respond to God's presence, will, and call to service. Sometimes we seek out God's presence and will. At other times, we run and hide. We trap ourselves within our petty issues and attempt to keep God from interfering with our desires, plans, and dreams. At other times, we are simply surprised to find God in our midst, forgetting our claims of his constant presence. Hebrew is an interesting language. There are several aspects of its grammar and construction that seem odd from the perspective of English speakers. The verb in Hebrew has no tense in terms of time--past, present, and future...
The Promise Of God's Presence (3 of 5)
by Stan Coffey
Now the men of Judah approached Joshua at Gilgal, and Caleb son of Jephunneh the Kenizzite said to him, "You know what the Lord said to Moses, the man of God at Kadesh Barnea about you and me. I was forty years old when Moses the servant of the Lord sent me from Kadesh Barnea to explore the land. And I brought him back a report according to my convictions, but my brothers who went up with me made the hearts of the people melt with fear. I, however, followed the Lord my God wholeheartedly. So on that day Moses swore to me, 'The land on which your feet have walked will be your inheritance and that of...
Comfort Of God's Presence (1 of 5)
by Stephen Whitney
London's Victoria and Albert Museum contains odds and ends collected by Queen Victoria and her husband when they ruled the English empire that circled the globe for 63 during the 1800's. Massive hand-carved chairs sit next to delicate pieces of porcelain. Wedged between the thousands of gifts is an unusual plaque that originally hung in a church in London. The plague, with its ornate carving, is displayed in the sculpture wing of the museum. Few people stop to look at the plaque. Even less take time to decipher its Old English script. But those who do take time to read it discover a poignant tale of sorrow and love...
Entering God's Presence (36 of 37)
by John Barnett
The tabernacle, which God instructed Moses to construct, is a powerful lesson for us. Tonight we can learn an enormous amount about how God wants us to enter His presence. Then next time, we can learn how to stay in His presence. So ENTERING THE PRESENCE OF GOD This is a journey into the presence of God. We enter God's presence by way of His Tabernacle, God's tent of Meeting. As we examine this incredible structure, we will see how every point of the God's Tabernacle points to Jesus. Of what possible importance could an old, dusty animal skin tent in the midst of a Nomadic, wandering migration of people camping...
The Atmosphere of the Presence of God (5 of 6)
by Frank Damazio
Introduction: The personal presence of God is not merely some "force" or "influence" that we seek, but a personal, real, life-changing presence of a living God who abides in us and dwells among us. Moses, the servant of God, had experienced the presence of God at the burning bush and it had changed his life. As he prepared to embark upon the journey to lead God's people into the vision God had given them, he gives God one stipulation-God's presence must go with him. Moses understood that God's presence was a sign of God's pleasure for His people and it would distinguish them from all others. We must have a passion...
The Glory Of God - The Proof Of His Presence (1 of 6)
by Lenny Ports
It is impossible to talk about God and not talk about His glory. The Glory of God is the proof of His presence. The Glory of God instills a picture in our minds of the majesty and presence of God. We think of the glory of His creation, when God said, LET THERE BE LIGHT, and there was light. We think of Moses and God appearing to him in the burning bush, and the hand of God moving back the waters of the Red Sea into two walls and the children of Israel passing through as on dry land. We think of Moses and the finger of God writing the Ten Commandments on tablets of stone, we think of Moses on the mountain with God and as he...
I Am With You
by Christopher Harbin
I like maps. I think I have always liked maps. In my office I have a Peter's Projection map of the world. I have an atlas of church history and missions on my bookshelf. I have a leather map of Rio Grande do Sul, where we served as missionaries for seven years. I have often dreamed of table with an inlaid world map on it. We have a copper map of Brazil at home. Maps remind me of where I've been. They help me understand where I am. They tell me how to get where I want to be. They don't always fulfill their purpose, however, for they don't always match the changing realities of the world in which we live. Sometimes, it is simply much more...
Knowing God Intimately
by Adrian Rogers
Everyone today will do one of two things. You'll crown Him or crucify Him. You say, ''well I'll do neither.'' Oh, you can't just be neutral. Jesus said, ''He who is not with Me is against Me.'' Everybody will leave the auditorium today unless the Lord comes first, and then I guess we'll leave it also, but we'll go this way. But, as you leave, everybody will walk out of this place today either under the blood or over the blood. That is you will receive Christ as your personal Savior and His blood will become the atonement for your sin. Or else you will trample beneath your feet the blood of Jesus Christ. You can't be neutral. If you don't accept Him, you reject...
Do You Want to Experience His Glory? (1 of 4)
by Jeff Schreve
Sherlock Holmes and his sidekick, Dr. Watson, were camping one night. And Sherlock Holmes wakes up in the middle of the night and he awakens Watson. And he says, ''Open your eyes, look up, and tell me what you see.'' And Watson says, ''I see stars, millions of stars.'' And Holmes says, ''Well, what does that tell you, Dr. Watson?'' He says, ''Well, astronomically, it tells me that there are millions of galaxies and potentially billions of planets. Astrologically, it tells me that Saturn is in Leo. Homologically, I deduce that the time is approximately a quarter past three. Meteorically, I suspect that we will have a beautiful day...
Moses & His Presence (1 of 5)
by Scott Maze
The Aim of This Series. Today, we begin a series designed to show you what happens when God shows up. I am really excited about this series and I have been looking forward to this for quite some time. Over the course of this fall sermon series, we are scouring the pages of the Bible for a series of encounters between ordinary people and God. These encounters are called visitations and they are almost always following a crisis of some kind. There's a crisis, an extraordinary time when people seek God, and there's a visitation. As a younger man, I began to study the experiences of other believers in what are known as spiritual...
The Fight for Connection (2 of 3)
by Kerry Shook
The purpose of conflict is to produce a deeper connection. ''God sent His only Son into the world so we might live through Him. This is the kind of love we are talking about - not that we once upon a time loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son as a sacrifice to clear away our sins and the damage they've done to our relationship with God. My dear friends, if God loved us like this, we certainly ought to love each other.'' 1 John 4:9-12 (MSG) 1.RISK REVEALING YOUR EMOTIONS. ''Now Jesus was deeply troubled, and He exclaimed, 'I tell you the truth, one of you will betray Me!''' John 13:21 (NLT)2. START GRIEVING YOUR...
Desperately Seeking Security (11 of 14)
by Robert Dawson
Jordan got a bicycle last year for Christmas. To be honest she has not spent an enormous amount of time on it nor has she really had a big desire to ride it. When she does, I have to walk right beside her as she rides - even though it has training wheels. She wants to make sure I am nearby and able to reach out in a moment's notice to keep her from falling. The thought of falling frightens her and the little training wheels does little to offer her any security...daddy is a different story. Daddy's immediate and tangible presence gives her the assurance she wants and the courage to ride. We all want that kind of security. As we teeter...
Learn To Practice God's Presence (2 Of 2)
by Adrian Rogers
We're continuing the message that we began this morning, how to make your dreams come true. I want us in just a moment to look in Genesis chapter 39. When you have it, however, just look up here and let me see your faces for a moment. Let me recapitulate what we've already said, that it would be a tragedy indeed for you to be upon your death bed ready to die and to look back and find out that you'd never lived, that you simply existed, drawing your breath and drawing your salary--but you never really had a dream and saw that dream come true. We tried to tell you that God has a plan for everyone's life including yours...
Prayer-a Necessity-for The Presence And Power Of God
by Jesse Hendley
A Necessity if we are to have the Presence and Power of God. Turn with me to Matthew 6:5, as we study God's Word. We are living in days of great need and the need is God and the power of God, and the presence and power of God will come only through believing prayer. In Matthew 6:5 Jesus says, "And when thou prayest, thou shalt not be as the hypocrites are: for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and the corners of the streets, that they may be seen of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward." Verse 6, "But thou, when thou prayest, enter into thy closet, and when thou has shut thy door, pray to...
Go after God's Presence
by Duane Bemis
Before we start this new adventure through God's anointed and inspired Word let us unite our hearts to hear what the Lord has to say. Are you ready to hear what God wants to say to each of us reading this sermon? Then let us pray: "Father God Almighty, who is the King of Glory, come and speak to us. Come and touch us with Your presence as we read and study Your Word. Let us look into King David's life and learn from his example as he went after Your presence. Lord we want You to receive all the glory, honor, and power in the words penned on the following pages. In the name of Jesus Christ, our personal Savior and Redeemer...
The Promise of Personal Presence (1 of 2)
by David Cawston
Introduction: The second greatest promise that God has for us after salvation is the promise of His presence. No one was more keenly aware of this fact than Moses Himself. Israel had sinned! They had worshipped a Golden calf. They wanted a tangible God. Israel wanted something that they could see. His presence is the most significant thing that we can ask for. It is amazing how we so often settle for things that we can see as a substitute for the presence of God. The things that we can see have no power or hope in our life. But nevertheless we think if we can see it, it is real and can help. That proves how deceived we really are...
Rediscovering The Great Commission (3 Of 4)
by Fenton Moorhead
As if Jesus were speaking personally to us, for that is His intention right now, for us, as His church. And it is important to think of the situation that, if you were going to say something to somebody, and you want it to be remembered, because of it's importance, and the destiny of the people involved, and all the people they will touch, then you see the momentous importance of these words, where they are placed, what they are all about. Jesus had a plan A for His church, He did not have a plan B. It's important to see that. And these words express His plan A, His intentions, what He desired that His people would be, and what they would...
As You Go About
by Patrick Edwards
Introduction: Back in April we took that month to talk about ''What is Church?'' Hopefully, you remember we answered that question simply by stating that the church is a family. Now, of course, we have be careful here and define our terms for while the Bible makes it clear as to what that means and looks like, we have to admit that often we can import our own definitions onto the idea of family. In other words, we may all be comfortable using the concept of family; the problem is just that we might each mean different things about that word. For example, when we speak of the family of the local church we don't mean biological...
God's Presence With Us---our Only Peace And Rest (1 Of 2)
by Jesse Hendley
Now if you have your Bibles, friends, turn with me to Exodus 33:14 and we want to speak to you today on the subject, "God's Presence Within Us, Our Only Rest and Peace." The only rest and peace for the human heart is God's Presence within our hearts and lives, God's literal Presence, and the consciousness of His Presence. We read in Exodus 33:14, "And God said to Moses, My presence shall go with thee, and I will give thee rest." So we have for our message today, "God's Presence, Our Guarantee of Rest." Notice, REST of God is a gift. It is something God must GIVE us. It is something we cannot buy. We are...
