The God Who Draws Near

Note About the Recording: We want to apologize for the audio quality of this message. Due to a technical issue with the original recording, we had to use a backup recording. While the audio may not be up to our normal standards, we believe the message is worth hearing and pray it encourages you. Summary: As we begin seven weeks of gathering together as one church, this message reminds us of a simple but life changing truth: God has made Himself available to us. We are not entitled to His presence, nor can we earn it through effort or performance. Yet in His kindness, He continually invites us to draw near. Looking at the life of Jacob, we see that God’s presence is not reserved for perfect people. Even in seasons of struggle, weakness, and disappointment, God pursues His people and continues the work of transformation He has begun in them. This message is an invitation to respond to God’s nearness with hunger, surrender, and expectation as we seek Him together as one church family. We believe that when God’s people gather around His presence, He meets us, transforms us, and shapes us into the people He has called us to be.
