Coram Deo: Living in the Presence of God (Psalm 139) by Josiah Graves
If you had to describe God in one word, what would you say? One answer that made me pause recently was "present." There is a kind of refreshing we can only find when we remember God is with us.

Watch on YouTube Join Shane and Makayla of 11th Hour Worship as they sit down with Carson Bruce on The Worship Keys Podcast for a conversation that goes way beyond music. From a calling that started in high school to a John the Baptist "prepare the way" mission, Shane and Makayla open up about hiddenness, character, and obedience as the real foundation of worship leading. They dig into what it means to steward God's presence in corporate worship, why offstage devotion matters most, and how to leave room for genuine flow. Bob Sorge's Ark of the Covenant analogy gives the conversation serious weight, and they get refreshingly practical about Sunday service constraints and training leaders to hear God. The episode wraps with worship lyrics that bring everything back to the feet of Jesus. If you're serious about leading worship from the inside out — don't skip this one.Eleventh Hour WorshipAerospare AudioSupport the showThanks for listening!

On Pope Leo's first international trip last year, he shared that the book "The Practice of the Presence of God" by Brother Lawrence helped shape his spirituality. Father Dave welcomes Father Gregory Pine and Rebecca Dougherty as they dive into this work in the latest season of Ascension's "Catholic Classics" podcast.
Text: Genesis 39 God's Presence in Our Success (Gen. 39:1-6a) God was with Joseph through uncertainty and hardship as he is taken as a slave to Egypt. God was with Joseph as the source of his success in Potiphar's household. We must look to God through every season knowing that anything we receive is from His good hand of providence. God's Presence in Our Temptation (Gen. 39:6b-18) God was with Joseph in the midst of sexual temptation. Joseph resisted temptation out of integrity to his authority and his commitment to God's ways. We must look to God as we are tempted, knowing that He is more satisfying than anything sin can offer us. God's Presence in Our Adversity (Gen. 39:19-23) God was with Joseph as he was falsely accused and forced into prison. God displayed His steadfast love and favor to Joseph. We must look to God in our hardships as our hope and help in all circumstances. In Christ our Savior we have "God with us" who is in us and will never forsake us (Matt. 1:21-23; Heb. 13:5-6). Main Idea: God is with us and at work within us through all circumstances to empower us to live faithfully and trust in His providence.

14 Jun 2026 : Resemblance - Practicing the presence of God by Waypoint Church
How do we actually practice the presence of God in our lives? Fr. Gregory and Rebecca explore how prayer is not meant to be confined to just the chapel or a quiet hour in the morning, but woven into cooking meals, opening laptops, caring for children, working, studying, and everyday responsibilities. Today, we are reading Part 1: Third Conversation and Fourth Conversation. To get your copy of the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/catholicclassics

THE PRESENCE OF GOD | PROPHET SHEPHERD BUSHIRI
You've probably heard that a Bible that's falling apart usually belongs to someone who isn't. One reason for that: the more you read Scripture and meditate on its truth, the more you'll understand who God is . . . and, consequently, the more you'll enjoy your relationship with Him.

If you had one request for God, would you ask for a breakthrough or for His presence? Moses chose the latter, understanding that knowing God's ways is more vital than merely witnessing His acts. This message explores how a purified heart unlocks a deeper level of divine guidance, turning God's presence into the very map you need for the journey ahead.
If you have workout equipment in your garage that only collects dust . . . what good is it? Well, that same principle applies to your Bible—if you don't use it regularly, you won't benefit from it. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/85/29?v=20251111
Life is shaped by rhythms that form who we become. Rhythms of Grace is an ongoing series that explores spiritual practices to help us grow in faith and experience God's presence. These disciplines—such as prayer, Sabbath, fasting, and more —aren't about earning God's love, but about living more fully in it. Each message will unpack a practice and provide practical tools to help you put it into action. In a world of hurry and distraction, these rhythms help us slow down and re-center on what matters most. As we follow Jesus, these practices shape us, both individually and collectively as the church, into His image.
Contemporary Worship
Moses pitched a tent outside the camp called the "Tent of Meeting." There, God would speak to Moses "face to face, as one speaks to a friend." Across scripture—from Adam and Abraham to Jesus' disciples—God desires friendship with His creation. Yet, in our modern culture, we are experiencing a "friendship recession." We must reclaim the depth of friendship, both with one another and with God, moving past the surface-level encounters we have settled for.Key Points1. God Desires True FriendshipGod doesn't speak to Moses as a subordinate, but as a friend. When Jesus arrived, He wasn't known as a political leader or an entrepreneur, but as a "friend of sinners." He told His disciples, "I no longer call you servants... I have called you friends." Discipleship is friendship. Yet, we often reduce this profound invitation to a scheduled 15-minute "quiet time." God is everywhere; He desires a relationship that permeates our daily lives, not just an appointment on a calendar.2. The Friendship RecessionWe spend more time alone than any previous generation. Friendship has been reduced to a social luxury rather than a daily necessity. If we lack the capacity for deep, vulnerable relationships with the people around us, it will inevitably damage our capacity for a deep relationship with God.Stop finding time; make time. You make time for what you value.Stop finding friends; be a friend. If you go out to be a friend—focused on being interested rather than interesting—you will never lack friendship.3. Grateful, But Not Satisfied (Show Me Your Glory)Moses had seen more of God's glory than anyone—the burning bush, the plagues, the parting of the sea. Yet, in Exodus 33, he asks, "Now show me your glory." He was grateful for past encounters, but he was not satisfied.Many Christians are living off a spiritual high from ten years ago. We have become "domesticated tigers," settling for small, scheduled moments instead of hungering for the wild, full presence of God.A true revival happens when God's people band together and declare, "Show us your glory! We will not be satisfied with what the previous generation experienced. Do it again."4. The Ultimate Glory is JesusHow does God answer Moses' request to see His glory? In Matthew 17, at the Transfiguration, Moses finally stands in the Promised Land alongside Jesus. The glory Moses asked to see in Exodus was ultimately revealed in the person of Christ. If we want to show a hungry generation the glory of God, we must stop pointing to ourselves, our cool aesthetics, or our trendy evangelism strategies. Like John the Baptist, we must simply and constantly point to Jesus in every season of our lives.ConclusionGod has invited us into a profound friendship. As we reflect on what God has done in our lives and in our church, let us be deeply grateful, but never satisfied. Let us reject shallow routines and isolation, choosing instead to pursue God with a "greed for His presence," constantly pointing the world to Jesus.Calls to ActionEvaluate Your Friendship with God: Are you treating God like a scheduled appointment or a true friend? Move beyond the 15-minute quiet time and invite Him into your entire day.Be a Friend: This week, actively make time to deepen a relationship. Ask questions, be vulnerable, and focus on being interested in someone else's story.Point to Jesus: In your victories and your defeats, make it your primary goal to point others to the glory of Christ rather than yourself.

This is message 51 in Gospel Record of John John 16:16-33 Jesus prepared His followers to face sorrow, confusion, and failure by reminding them that His departure was not the end but part of God's greater plan. Through His death and resurrection, grief would be transformed into lasting joy, believers would gain direct access to the Father through prayer, and peace would become possible even in the middle of tribulation. Human strength may fail, but the presence of God never does, and because Christ has overcome the world, His people can live with confidence, hope, and unshaken peace.

Where have you encountered the presence of God? In today's Rise Up reflection, Fr. Jonathan Meyer invites us to reflect on the places, people, and moments where God became deeply real to us. The presence of Jesus matters. From Bethlehem… to the Cross… to the empty tomb… to the Eucharist… God continually makes Himself present to us. Today, take time to reflect: ➡️ Where have I encountered God's presence? ➡️ Who helped lead me there? ➡️ What did that experience feel like? Maybe it was: ✝️ at Mass

In this lecture, the speaker begins with two announcements: progress on planting a second location of St. Moses Church, including news that Pastor Sharon DeVale has received her visa and will join the church in Baltimore in early August, and encouraging reports from a gathering of Alpha leaders in the UK.He describes stories of spiritual openness among young people in the UK, including accounts of people with little or no church background coming to faith through dreams, visions, and other unusual experiences. He uses these examples to encourage the congregation to pray for God to work similarly in Baltimore.The sermon then turns to a series on the Holy Spirit, focusing on God's presence. Using Exodus 33 and 40, the speaker explains that Moses asked God to go with Israel, that God's presence filled the tabernacle, and that this presence guided the people on their journey. He contrasts this with the later filling of Solomon's temple and says that God loves to dwell with his people.He then traces the Old Testament pattern in which repeated covenant unfaithfulness leads to the departure of God's presence, described in Ezekiel's vision of the glory leaving the temple. In response, Ezekiel later prophesies that God will cleanse his people, give them a new heart, and put his Spirit within them so they can obey him from the inside out.The speaker says this prophecy is fulfilled in Jesus, who makes cleansing from sin possible and gives the Holy Spirit to those who trust him. He explains that believers become the temple of God through the Spirit's indwelling presence.Finally, he gives three applications: the Spirit helps believers experience God's love, pursue holiness, and live with courage. He closes with prayer for the congregation to be marked by God's presence.
