Practicing the Presence of God – Part 5

Practicing the Presence of God – Part 4
Where is the Church in Jesus life? Good question, since Jesus only says the word twice. But when He talks about the Church, it is very weighty.
We need the Church – to grow, to learn, to love each other.
The Church needs us – to encourage each other, to help each other.
The Church was born in song, it is an act of worship and God blesses us through the Church as we bless others.

Living in God’s presence is where we find true fulfillment and joy.
