Memory Verse for the Week: Exodus 29:45-46 (ESV)

I will dwell among the people of Israel and will be their God. And they shall know that I am the LORD their God, who brought them out of the land of Egypt that I might dwell among them. I am the LORD their God.

INTRO: Where has your favorite dwelling place been?

I WILL LIVE HERE
What does it say that the LORD desires to dwell among His people?

ACKNOWLEDGING ALIENATION
Why does anything have to be veiled?

THE MARKERS OF GRACE
How does the healing of alienation depend upon God’s work rather than ours?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US …

1. Worship the LORD, God Almighty, who fills the heavens and the earth. Praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, for His holy Presence and His mercy to make His Presence open to us in Christ.

2. How have you lived as if God’s Presence is irrelevant? Confess your spiritual numbness to Jesus, asking Him to cleanse you of your sin (that separates you from Him) and to heal your hardness of heart.

3. Give thanks to Jesus for His work to cleanse us so that His Spirit could inhabit us. Thank Him for tearing open the curtain of separation so that we could enter in to be with God and that He can enter into us.

4. Who do you know that ignores the Presence of God while they passionately seek the presence of other people in their life? Pray for them, asking the Lord to help them realize their need for Jesus.

5. Ask the Holy Spirit to awaken you to the miracle of His indwelling Presence. Pray for His fruit of joy in your heart, especially as you see the staggering privilege of having God’s Presence sealed to you eternally in Christ.

Looking Back

This tool will be made available Monday morning to give us the opportunity to look back at what we heard on Sunday.
