God Promises His Presence

God Promises His Presence
Sermon by Pastor Tim Block / July 24, 2022
Bible Text: 1 Samuel 12:20
Key Idea: God promises His presence
And Samuel said unto the people, Fear not: ye have done all this wickedness: yet turn not aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart; (1 Samuel 12:20)
The wickedness (evil) here refers to Israel’s demand for a new king instead of God as their King.
“You have done all this wickedness, yet…” God is a God of second chances. He is God of grace, forgiveness and restoration.
“…turn not aside from following the Lord, but serve the Lord with all your heart;”
Q: Do we long for God’s presence in your life?
And turn ye not aside: for then should ye go after vain things, which cannot profit nor deliver; for they are vain. 1 Samuel 12:21
Don’t be distracted. Don’t pursue empty things.
Q: What are the “empty things” you seek?
The presence of God will never let you down.
1 Samuel 12:22 – for the Lord will not forsake His people for His great name’s sake.
His promised presence is based on HIS unconditional love, not on YOUR performance.
Q: How will you respond to the promise of God’s presence?
