What would it look like if God’s presence truly defined us? In this powerful message, Pastor Jay Genin unpacks the call for the Church to be a people marked not by programs, performance, or personality—but by the presence of God Himself. Drawing from Scripture and real-life application, this sermon challenges us to pursue intimacy with Jesus above all else, allowing His presence to transform our lives, relationships, and communities. You’ll discover why the presence of God is essential for direction, unity, and power in the Church, and how we can cultivate hearts that host His presence daily. This isn’t just about Sunday mornings—it’s about becoming people who walk with God every moment of the week.
