omnipresence

This is the first new year in Grace 242's worship home! Therefore, we're going through our worship serving asking, "Why do we do this?"

This week we answer three objections to gathering for a worship service. 

Message: Why Gather for Worship?
Scripture Reading: Acts 2:44

Podcast Description:

In this inspiring episode of Bible Study with Dr Lewis at Kingdom Living Ministries' podcast, we delve deep into the essence of God and His indelible presence in our lives. We explore His omnipotence, omnipresence, and boundless love through a scriptural lens, uncovering the significance of God's creative power in the world.

But the journey doesn't stop there; we also investigate the profound concept of God dwelling within us, as beautifully illustrated in the Scriptures. We'll discover how this divine presence empowers and guides us through life's challenges.

Our engaging Q&A session delves into essential questions about God's role in our lives, with scriptural answers that shed light on faith, God's omnipotence, His comforting presence in tough times, and the practical application of His indwelling in our daily lives.

As we conclude, we offer words of encouragement and daily scriptures for meditation, emphasizing the importance of building faith through God's Word. Join us in prayer and repentance for not investing enough in our faith journey, followed by an opportunity for those seeking salvation to find grace.

Proverbs 9:10

Woe betide the man or woman that dispenses of the knowledge of God.  We live in an era in the evangelical Church where experience trumps knowledge!  Everyone wants to experience God!!  Away with boring theology (they say) — let it perish with the seminaries!! Give us a fresh encounter!! Let us feel God!!  Let us experience His divine touch!!  I’m all for experiencing God, but again I go down on record to say, “THEOLOGY MATTERS”. How you understand God will determine how you relate to Him!!  What you know about God will affect how you live for God. 

In this sermon, we look at two of God’s divine attributes and how through the knowledge of God it ought to move us to fear.

Today's Promise: Psalm 139:7-10

You are never alone. You may feel lonely at times, but God's presence is always with you.

You can never escape the presence of God. If you go to the highest mountain or submerge in the lowest depths of the sea, God's presence will still be there.

If you traveled from east to west at the speed of light, when you arrived, you would find God already there.

No matter where you go, your Heavenly Father has promised to be with you. He will guide and lead you by the hand.

In this week's episode, I discuss omnipresence in marketing, which continues to be important as 2020 approaches.  

I also cover some tips I learned from a recent podcast from the Gary Vee Audio Experience. 

You have to be everywhere when it comes to marketing. Share as much as you can on multiple platforms. 

I've closed multiple deals and nurtured potential leads who follow my social media and like how I think as well as my work ethic.

The Q Continuum.  

From the The Original Series onward, Star Trek has had a preoccupation with false gods, culminating in the introduction of Q and the Q Continuum in Star Trek: The Next Generation. But although members of the Q Continuum have many of the properties usually ascribed to deities—such as omnipotence, omniscience, omnipresence, and so on—do they posses these qualities to sufficient degree to be considered genuine deities of the Star Trek universe?  

In this episode of Meta Treks, hosts Mike Morrison and Zachary Fruhling give a philosophical analysis of the Q Continuum and the deity-like attributes of the Q. From paradoxes of omnipotence, such as the Q being powerful enough to create a prison another Q cannot break out of, to the many things the Q don't seem to know despite their supposed omniscience, Mike and Zachary debate, and perhaps debunk, the status of the Q as deities.
