Follow Jesus, Love Others, Share Hope
"Presence" by Pastor Rob
     Last Sunday (6-27-21), I urged the congregation to see that our greatest joy is found in God’s presence. Being with God is better than getting what (we think) we desire. You can watch that sermon here (begin at 19:20 mark). Be with God.
Here I follow up that message with an encouragement for you. This summer, 2021, discover what being is God’s presence is like for you. Prayer walking. Periods of silent meditation. Worship singing. Journaling. Find the mode and context in which you are able to tune out distractions and focus on hearing from God. Feel God speak to your spirit.
