Bringing You the Latest Buzz from Grace Fellowship

Pastor's Pen

I continue to be hungry to experience the presence of God and desire to experience something more than His everywhere presence (omnipresence), but His evident, noticeable presence.  I long for those times that God’s presence is close and evident in my life.  In Exodus 33:11 we read that, The Lord would speak to Moses face to face, as one speaks to a friend.  The word for face is the same word (prosopon) as the word presence. When the Bible speaks of God’s face, it is speaking of His presence.  For example, Psalm 27:8-9 says, My heart says, “Seek His face!”  Your face, Lord, I will seek.   Do not hide Your face from me.  To seek God’s face is not to find some place in space where God is located; rather, it is to have our heart enabled by the Holy Spirit to sense His reality and His evident presence.


This brings new light to 2 Chronicles 7:14 (especially in an election year), if My people, who are called by My name, will humble themselves and pray and seek My face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land.


I encourage you today to seek God’s evident presence (face).  Like Moses (Exodus 34:2) present yourself to God that He may reveal His presence in your life.  God shows up in powerful ways to the person who longs for Him and waits for Him.


Excited to see you this weekend.

We Are on the Move

As announced this weekend:

  1. Weather permitting, dirt movers will be on our property the first week of November. They will begin by cutting in the new entrance and installing some culverts. This will serve as a service road for equipment, allowing them to pour the foundation pad for the new building in the spring.

  2. We are working with our contractor to place a deposit on the steel for the new building. The purpose of this deposit is to lock in the price until the steel structure is ready to be erected.
