The unifying theme of the Bible
The Presence of God In Creation
The Presence of God In Specific Places
Tabernacle (Exodus 25)
Jerusalem (Deuteronomy 12:4-7)
Temple (2 Chronicles 6)
Psalm 139 Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens… If I make my bed in the depths… If I settle on the far side of the sea… If I say the darkness will hide me… YOU ARE THERE!!! Psalm 139 Where can I flee from your presence? If I go up to the heavens… If I make my bed in the depths… If I settle on the far side of the sea… If I say the darkness will hide me… YOU ARE THERE!!! The Presence of God In All Places
I will be with you when you are in trouble. (Psalm 91:15) The Presence of God In People
Emmanuel (Matthew 1:23) The Word became flesh (John 1:14) The Presence of God In Jesus
Your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit. (1 Corinthians 6:15) The Presence of God In Us (Individually)
For we are the temple of the living God. (2 Corinthians 6:16) The Presence of God In Us (Corporately)
So What? God is always with me God is always communicating We CAN experience God’s presence!!!
So Why Don’t We? We can’t see God physically We get too busy We live by our senses
Jacob (Genesis 28) We are not alone…
Jesus’ Disciples (John 21:4-7) We are not alone…
