The Gospel Series | Part 5 | The Veil is Open with Levi Crognale

For generations, humanity stood separated from the presence of God—but at the cross, everything changed. As Jesus gave His life, the veil in the temple was torn from top to bottom, announcing the good news that the way back to God is now open.In this episode, Levi traces the image of the veil from humanity’s shame and separation in Genesis to the temple curtain and its ultimate tearing through the body and sacrifice of Jesus. Through Hebrews 10, personal testimony, prayer, and honest conversation, we explore what it means to confidently draw near to God—not merely as an idea or theological concept, but through real, tangible relationship and encounter.We no longer have to remain outside, hide beneath shame, earn our way into God’s presence, or wait until we have fixed ourselves. Jesus has already opened the new and living way. The invitation is simple: come closer, practice His presence, listen for His voice, and allow nearness with Him to transform every part of your life.The veil is torn. The distance is gone. The way is open—so draw near.00:00 Why the Veil01:51 Gospel Series Recap03:16 The Way Is Open03:52 2017 Anchor Encounter08:36 Nearness Must Be Tangible11:09 Hebrews 10 Read Aloud13:55 Four Kinds of Nearness17:59 Genesis and the First Veil22:50 Exodus and the Temple Curtain25:18 Crucifixion Tears the Veil29:11 Draw Near Exhortation31:25 Adoption Means Access31:32 How We Draw Near35:24 Faith From The Heart37:46 Grace Effort Not Earning38:51 Practicing Nearness Daily41:10 Gifts Spirit And Holiness44:02 Worship With Your Body46:55 Discipleship Without Curtains52:07 Guided Encounter Yahweh01:00:47 Sealing Prayer And AmenMore about The Porch: www.theporchny.comHelp us serve our city: https://givebutter.com/xIPrFj
