Meeting With God

April 23, 2023 • Chad Everett - Lead Pastor • Exodus 33:7–11, Matthew 14:23, Matthew 6:6, Ephesians 2:19–22, Deuteronomy 4:29

We've created tabernacles of meetings called churches - the original purpose of the Tabernacle of Meeting was to be a dwelling place, a habitation at a particular time for a purpose designated by an authority. A place for people to encounter God, but became a place for people to meet people and merely talk about God.

Who's the authority that designates the purpose for why we gather? NOT US!

We gather to meet with God, and HE designates the purpose of why we gather.

Meeting With God

September 10, 2023 • Chad Everett - Lead Pastor • Exodus 34:6–9, Psalm 95:1, Psalm 89:26, Exodus 33:12–21, John 17:20–23

God came up with a plan to come down to Moses, because there was no plan to go up to Him. Jesus came so we can be immersed in the rock, so that the glory of God not only be with us, but also NOW be IN us. The same glory that could kill Moses - NOW can live in YOU. 22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. 23 Then I will take away My hand, and you shall see My back; but My face shall not be seen.” Exodus 33:22-23 NKJV

Meeting With God

August 6, 2023 • Chad Everett - Lead Pastor • Exodus 33:12–21, Matthew 7:24–25, 2 Corinthians 3:7–11, Luke 18:35–43, Genesis 18:2–3

Are we satisfied with a "passing by" relationship with God? Or are we constraining Him to Abide? God's not satisfied with a passing by relationship with you. He wants to remain with you. God doesn't mind when we stop Him, grab hold of Him, reach out and say, "Do not pass me by." 22 So it shall be, while My glory passes by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock, and will cover you with My hand while I pass by. Exodus 33:22 NKJV 2 So he lifted his eyes and looked, and behold, three men were standing by him; and when he saw them, he ran from the tent door to meet them, and bowed himself to the ground, 3 and said, “My Lord, if I have now found favor in Your sight, do not pass on by Your servant. Genesis 18:2-3 NKJV 28 Then they drew near to the village where they were going, and He indicated that He would have gone farther. 29 But they constrained Him, saying, “Abide with us, for it is toward evening, and the day is far spent.” And He went in to stay with them. Luke 24:28-29 NKJV

Meeting With God

July 23, 2023 • Chad Everett - Lead Pastor • Exodus 33:19, Psalm 124:8, Psalm 20:7, Exodus 34:6–9, Exodus 33:12–16

Moses asked God to show him His Glory, His overabundance of who He is, and God responded. I WILL . . . . . . make all my goodness pass before you. GOD IS THE BEST! He will make His best pass before you. . . . proclaim the name of the Lord before you. RUN INTO the name of the LORD! . . . be gracious to whom I will be gracious. God has a place reserved for you at His right hand. STAND on the ROCK! Make your prayer today - God show me your glory, where I've limited you in my life. 19 Then He said, “I will make all My goodness pass before you, and I will proclaim the name of the Lord before you. I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion.” Exodus 33:19 NKJV
