Carrying the Presence of Christ

FIRST15
About this episode

As we finish our week on drawing near to God this Advent season, today we’ll focus outward on how we can carry the presence of Christ into our spheres of influence. We have learned this week that God is with us always and available to us at all times. There is never a time he isn’t by your side, and you have the profound privilege of carrying his presence with you everywhere you go. As you practice sensitivity, God will be faithful to show up and move in amazing ways. May this Christmas season be blessed beyond measure as you seek to show the world his love.

Our Scripture for today comes from 1 John 4:17. Today's worship is Make Me A Vessel by Vessel Collective.


 

Thank you so much for listening to today’s podcast, the last in our week-long focus on drawing near. 

Tomorrow we’re starting a quick two day series focusing specifically on Christmas. My hope and prayer is that these next two devotionals really root and ground us in the goodness of God, and equip us to soak up every bit of God’s goodness in these two wonderful days. 

Have a wonderful rest of your day, and may God bless you as you seek him.
