The Secret Place
from Springhouse Church Sermons
Pastor Justin shares what it means to experience true intimacy with God. Learn how vulnerability, active faith, and Jesus’ prayer in John 17 guide us in cultivating deep emotional closeness with God. Move beyond surface-level connection to genuine oneness with the Father. Scriptures Referenced Psalm 91:1; Matthew 7:21-23; John 13:3-15; 16:2-3, 17:1-5, 17:9-11, 17:20-23; Philippians 3:7-11; 1 John 1:9 Key Insights Proximity to God doesn’t guarantee intimacy with Him. Intimacy with God requires vulnerability, communication, and authenticity. Jesus’ prayer in John 17 reveals God’s desire for oneness with His people. Emotional closeness with God grows through daily faith and active trust. Suffering can often draw us closer to God in ways blessings cannot. You can be involved in spiritual activities without genuine intimacy with God. Intimacy with God isn’t about feelings but about consistent faith-driven connection. https://springhouse.captivate.fm/episode/the-secret-place Subscribe & Follow the Podcast Download our app Our Website Online Tithes & Offerings Join our Livestream Gathering Times Sundays, 9:00 AM Sundays, 11:00 AM Wednesdays, 6:00 PM Contact Info Springhouse Church 14119 Old Nashville Highway Smyrna TN 37167 615-459-3421 CCLI License 2070006
