The Place of God's Presence

Title: "The Place of God's Presence"
Series:  His Presence
Speaker: Jim Hammond

1 Chronicles 16:11

Seek the Lord and his strength; seek his presence continually!

I.     His Presence in the PROTOTYPE

Exodus 25:8

“They are to make a sanctuary for me so that I may dwell among them.

Exodus 25:9

You must make it according to all that I show you — the pattern of the tabernacle as well as the pattern of all its furnishings.

Hebrews 9:24

For Christ did not enter a sanctuary made with hands (only a model of the true one) but into heaven itself, so that he might now appear in the presence of God for us.

II.     His Presence in JESUS

John 1:1-2

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning.

John 1:14

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us. We observed his glory, the glory as the one and only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 2:18-22

So the Jews replied to him, “What sign will you show us for doing these things?” Jesus answered, “Destroy this temple, and I will raise it up in three days.” Therefore the Jews said, “This temple took forty-six years to build, and will you raise it up in three days?” But he was speaking about the temple of his body. So when he was raised from the dead, his disciples remembered that he had said this, and they believed the Scripture and the statement Jesus had made.

III.     His Presence in YOU

John 16:7

Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth. It is for your benefit that I go away, because if I don’t go away the Counselor will not come to you. If I go, I will send him to you.

1 Corinthians 3:16

Don’t you yourselves know that you are God’s temple and that the Spirit of God lives in you?

1 Corinthians 6:19

Don’t you know that your body is a temple of the Holy Spirit who is in you, whom you have from God? You are not your own,

1 Thessalonians 5:23

Now may the God of peace himself sanctify you completely. And may your whole spirit, soul, and body be kept sound and blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.

Hebrews 4:12

For the word of God is living and effective and sharper than any double-edged sword, penetrating as far as the separation of soul and spirit, joints and marrow. It is able to judge the thoughts and intentions of the heart.

Proverbs 20:27

The spirit of man is the lamp of the Lord, searching all his innermost parts.

Meet Jesus - Meet Jesus the Lord

Verde Valley Christian Church Jun 30 – Jul 7, 2024 Sermon Series: Meet Jesus Sermon Title: "Meet Jesus the Lord" Presenter: Jim Hammond Luke 6:46 "Why do you call me, 'Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say? 1. Real LIFE is from the Lord Jesus John 1:4-5 In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it. Acts 2:36 "Therefore let all Israel be assured of this: God has made this Jesus, whom you crucified, both Lord and Messiah." Acts 3:15 You killed the author of life, but God raised him from the dead. We are witnesses of this. 1 Corinthians 8:6 yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. 2. Without Jesus you are SPIRITUALLY DEAD John 3:2-4 He came to Jesus at night and said, "Rabbi, we know that you are a teacher who has com...
