Sermon Tone Analysis

Copies of today's lesson and a devotional guide for this week.

If you want it.

I do post that digitally now and her faith life group.

So if you, I know some of you were getting it ahead of time either Thursdays or Fridays from me and I was sending it through the email, I just posted there.

So anybody that wants it can actually grab it and have it there whenever they want.

And it's usually posted hopefully by about the same time of the week either Thursday or Friday if not sooner, but certainly by Thursday or Friday, Lord willing, we want to talk today, this lesson and maybe if we don't get through or through Wednesday about a place for God's presence.

I don't want to take this particular lesson lightly, God has demonstrated all through Biblical history that we read and all through our known.

His His desire is for us to recognize and sense his presence.

Hi, everything he has done, is to reveal himself to us, so that we might know him and we might enjoy him forever as the Creed goes, all the Apostles Creed go.

So.

This is a unique lesson in the sense that it communicates to us both his mode and method for.

Revealing to the nation of Israel is presents, but it also bleed over into his desire for us to know his presence as well.

And by what mode and means We can recognize his presents with us.

A scripture talks about, the fact IMAX 17 talks about it.

You'll Testament talks about it as well.

That God is not far from us.

At is an emphatic, unconditional statement.

If we understand enough about the essence in the nature of God, scuse me nature of God, and the attributes of God.

We understand that he is omnipresent, right?

He is everywhere present at all times, all at once.

He's everywhere.

Present with there is nowhere, we can go the song assets.

We can descend in the heavens.

We can't go to the depths of the of the Earth.

There is no where we can go, where God is Not.

So is not a matter of what Mode God uses for us to draw near to him or for him to drop closer to us.

It is simply a more clear understanding of The Nearness of God, that already exists.

Even when we talked about the idea of sin and how sin creates in mankind, apart from Jesus Christ, send creates a barrier between us and God, a barrier that we can't.

Breach.

So it's interesting to think about the reality of that.

Even in God's nearness.

There's no place we can go where he is not yet in our sin.

We still can't get to him.

No matter how close he is to us.

It still doesn't remove his presence from us.

Maybe that even helps us a little bit to understand, depending upon what your perspective is of Abraham's bosom, whether or not that's a parable or narrative.

And that's a debate for other theologians, not me.

But even in that, maybe that helps me, understand a little bit better that storyline.

And what's going on with the rich man and Lazarus, their neighborhoods bosom.

The reality is that God is near by no matter what.

Send only prevents me to access the understanding, the appreciation the the acknowledgement of his nearness and appreciate it and experience the blessings from it for those warrants in it.

Not only prevents me from sensing it and seeing it and being aware of it.

But it also then demands his judgment because the holy God and the glory of God can do nothing but judge sent apart from Jesus Christ and talk to you about this.

The construction of the Tabernacle God's place of dwelling.

Among his people, God provided the resources for the Tabernacle and move the hearts of his people.

Do a bay the instructions.

You'd given them through Moses.

The word for Tabernacle.

His dwellings is a dwelling just like the Feast of booths with the same word.

Is that?

Feast of Tabernacles, they are Tabernacle singing with God.

God in the New Testament, Tabernacles with us.

It is a Dwelling Place there when their work was done.

Israel's and completed.

According to God's plan.

God came to dwell with his people.

Now does that mean his presence was not there already know.

That means that he came in a form, that was visible that they could sense.

Wasn't that he wasn't there already?

In fact, he's already demonstrated.

He is with him even before they left Egypt that was clear.

God had plans for even a better way to dwell with his people later on the way, that was realizing the person of Jesus Christ for the rest of the world.

But this is focused on Israel.

God shines, his glory in the present, in the presence of his people.

According to his will do the hearts in Obedience of his people, in the work of Jesus Christ.

I want us to hold on to that sentence.

So, let me give it to you one more time.

God shines, his glory in the presence of his people.

According to his will.

To the hearts and Obedience of his people.

Answer the work of Jesus Christ.

This is a statement.

That was true at creation.

This is the statement that is true throughout all of the Old Testament.

This is a statement that is true throughout the New Testament and the church age.

This is a statement that is true fraternity.

God shines, his glory in the presence of his people, according to his, will to the hearts in Obedience of his people and the work of Jesus Christ.

Number one.

God provides to the hearts of his people were going to see that verses 2 through 7.

This will be different than the outline.

They gave you again young to get to the point where I stop apologizing for.

I'm sorry for that, but I felt Their wording was accurate but was not the the punch line with wasn't the point.

You know, that, that let me say this and you know this, you've known this, you're smarter than me.

Probably before I ever mentioned it to you.

The purpose of the Bible is not for me to gain knowledge.

Purpose of the Bible is so that according to that gaining of knowledge.

It changes me.

It's the so what?

So there's some times when they presented as lessons, where they give an outline and it's it's an outline.

It's in the text.

It's the text but it's not the so what?

So I want to focus on the so what?

So I've changed it.

I got it at the points a little bit.

Hopefully, you can be able to follow along the verse division should be the same, as well as Point 123.

But the morning might be a little bit different.

2.1 God provides through, the hearts of his people.

Number to God, bills Through The Obedience of his people.

God provides through their hearts, he builds through their obedience.

And then lastly, God shines in the presence of his people.
