3rd December Wednesday Service: Uncommon Presence - Spirit-Led Joy. By PBC Deacon, Edwin Isoe

Send us Fan MailWhat if the missing piece in your plans isn’t a better route but a nearer Guide? We trace Moses’ bold request in Exodus 33—If your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here—and uncover why God’s nearness matters more than milestones, metrics or maps. From the humour of a wrong Google pin to the gravity of leading a nation, we draw a line from ancient wilderness to modern life, where calendars are full and souls are tired.We dive into knowing God’s character through Moses’ three seasons—prince, fugitive and shepherd‑leader—and show how Scripture forms people who walk in light rather than stumble in darkness. We unpack the covenant arc from Abraham to Israel to all nations, and confront the risk of being religiously busy yet spiritually empty, echoing Jesus’ correction to the Sadducees: you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. Along the way, John 14 reframes love as obedience and promise as presence: We will make our home with them.Rest becomes the surprising hallmark of a life led by God. We explore physical rest that respects human limits and spiritual rest that guards hearts and minds with peace that surpasses understanding. Parenting moves from rules to reasons, speech shifts from contempt to blessing, and fear of people dissolves into trust in the One who numbers our hairs and clothes the fields. The takeaway is clear and practical: do not move without Him. Ask for His presence, align with His will, and let His peace distinguish your steps.If this spoke to you, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs real rest, and leave a quick review to help others find these conversations.
