Pursuing God’s Presence

By Jim Shaddix

| Aug 30, 2009

God dwells among his people but it is not a given that we will always experience him functionally. In this message on Haggai 1:1–15, Jim Shaddix reminds us how we can experience God to the greatest degree and with the greatest frequency.

Obey God regarding the urgency of pursuing his presence.
Fear God and the consequence of failing to pursue his presence.
Work for God by pursuing his presence in the power of his Spirit.
