Sermon Livestream Feb 22, 2026

Описание: Dan Beaulieu in this sermon emphasizes the importance of a deep, personal relationship with God, highlighting that true worship and service stem from knowing Him intimately rather than just "doing" for Him (1:08). He references biblical figures like Moses and John the Baptist to illustrate this point:

Moses as a Friend of God: (6:16) The speaker discusses how Moses knew God "face to face, as a man speaks to his friend," emphasizing the intimacy of their relationship and God's nature as a God of second chances (7:26). This relationship empowered Moses to lead the Israelites and receive God's law a second time after the first tablets were broken due to the people's idolatry.
John the Baptist's Identity: (19:23) John identified himself as a "voice crying in the wilderness" and, more profoundly, as the "friend of the bridegroom" who rejoices at the bridegroom's voice (20:43). This illustrates that his identity was rooted in his relationship with Jesus, emphasizing Jesus's increase and his own decrease (21:17).
Being vs. Doing: (22:19) The sermon stresses that "being with the Lord" precedes "doing for Him." The speaker argues that time spent in God's presence, receiving from Him, is crucial for believers to become effective witnesses and impact others (25:54). He challenges the audience to prioritize a devotional life and intimate time with God over mere religious activity.
The New Covenant and Unveiled Glory: (37:48) The speaker contrasts the Old and New Covenants, explaining that under the New Covenant, the veil that obscured understanding in the Old Testament is removed when one turns to the Lord. This allows believers to behold God's glory with "unveiled faces" and be transformed into His image (39:43). The sermon concludes by reiterating that knowing God deeply empowers believers to "do great exploits" and live a life that truly matters to God.
