Practicing the Presence of God

In this discipleship path, we'll explore the importance of community, intimacy with God, self-reflection, and humility in our daily lives. We'll discover how to recognize and apply God's presence in our lives, and prioritize time with Him for spiritual growth.

Scripture Foundation

Matthew 18:20 says, "For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them." This verse highlights the significance of community in experiencing God's presence. Psalm 139:7-12 describes God's intimate knowledge and presence in our lives: "Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?" (Psalm 139:7). Luke 17:3-4 reminds us to humble ourselves before God, and Colossians 3:2 encourages us to set our hearts on things above, where Christ is seated.
