Presence // Part 1 - September 10, 2017

As we kick off our four-week vision series on the presence of God, Andrew Schey teaches from the Old Testament to illustrate how God is continually working to reunite people into relationship with Him as in the Garden of Eden. However, just like the man who fashions an idol out of a felled tree in Isaiah 44:14-20, our lack of critical reflection on our behaviors leads us to neglect God's presence in our lives. In order to avoid climbing a ladder to nowhere, we must enter into a meaningful, face-to-face friendship with God that distinguishes us from the rest of the world. Because without His presence, nothing else matters.
