Description:
Delivered during the Sunday Morning Worship Service, 10/11/2026. If you are a Christian, you are living in the Presence of God. But how completely does that Presence define you and guide you in the way that you live? And how would it effect you if that Presence was taken away-- even temporarily? We have already seen Paul as a man deeply entrenched in the doctrines of the faith. We will now begin to see him as a man who not only puts these doctrines into practice, but does so with a deeply passionate and loving heart that is filled with the Spirit of God. After making our way through the opening verse of this section, we will ask ourselves if we, too-- both in our personal walk with Christ and our corporate life as His church-- are truly filled with the same zeal and passion for Christ as we see in Paul. And if not, how can God's Presence become real to us? Once again we will find a narrow road with ditches on either side as we pursue as individuals and as a church a Spirit-filled life that is neither stale and lifeless, nor manufactured or contrived. But rather to discover that the secret to a Spirit-filled, passionate life with Christ-- is to live that life fully in the Presence of God!
