The Presence of God | Sunday Sermon | Rev. Dr. Wilson Cherian

Описание: God does not abandon His people—He goes with them. From the Red Sea to the Upper Room, Scripture makes it clear that the Presence of God is not distant or symbolic, but active, personal, and life-sustaining.

In this message, we trace God’s Presence through the cloud and the sea where Israel was led, covered, and protected (1 Corinthians 10:1–5; Exodus 14:19–20). Even in the valley of the shadow of death, His Presence removes fear and brings confidence (Psalm 23:4). Heaven takes note of those who fear the Lord and honor His name (Malachi 3:16).

The Presence of God is fully revealed in Christ. As Israel was baptized into Moses, believers are now baptized into Christ and clothed with Him (1 Corinthians 10:1–2; Galatians 3:27). At Jesus’ baptism, the Spirit descended and the Father’s voice affirmed Him—God’s Presence publicly revealed (Matthew 3:16–17). That same Spirit is promised to all who repent and are baptized (Acts 2:38).

God’s Presence also sustains His people. In the wilderness, He provided manna from heaven (Exodus 16:4; 1 Corinthians 10:3), pointing forward to Jesus—the true Bread of Life who gives eternal nourishment (John 6:27, 33, 35; Matthew 4:4).

From the rock struck in the desert flowed water that gave life (Exodus 17:6–7; 1 Corinthians 10:4). That Rock was Christ. Today, He offers living water—an everlasting flow of the Holy Spirit within all who believe (John 4:13–14; John 7:38–39).

This sermon calls us to recognize, trust, and walk in the Presence of God—going before us, standing with us, and dwelling within us.
