Bill Johnson - Hosting The Presence - Part 1

Summary

The sermon explores the presence of God, linking the biblical term for presence to the "face" of God, which signifies His favor. Just as a parent's smiling face activates joy in an infant, the "shining face" of our heavenly Father assures us of His acceptance and celebration. This understanding of God's constant good mood, evidenced by the Holy Spirit as a down payment, means we can experience His joy even amidst life's challenges.
