His Name pt4b

Aug 10, 2025    Pastor Jeff Hastings

In this powerful exploration of God's name and presence, we delve into the story of David bringing the Ark of the Covenant to Jerusalem. This narrative teaches us the profound importance of hosting God's presence in our lives. The key lesson is that when we purposefully invite God's presence, like Obed-Edom did for three months, we open ourselves and our families to tremendous blessings and favor. This story challenges us to consider: Are we truly hosting God's presence daily? The parallel drawn between the Old Testament priests carrying the Ark and us as New Testament believers carrying God's presence is particularly striking. It reminds us of our responsibility and privilege to be bearers of His presence in our world today. As we reflect on this, let's consider taking up the 'OE Challenge' - committing to three months of intentional, daily encounters with God. This practice has the potential to transform not just our lives, but also create a lasting spiritual legacy for generations to come.
