9.10.23                       TOGETHER WITH GOD          Point of Grace Worship

What is the deepest dream and longing of God?

What is God after and pursuing?

What is His deepest longing and dream?

God’s deepest dream and desire is the DWELL FULLY WITH HIS PEOPLE.

John 1:1-3

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Genesis 1:26

26 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. 

The natural byproduct of intimacy is likeness. Intimacy births likeness.

 The foundation of our TOGETHER is HIS TOGETHER.

“Sin is a refused relationship with God that spills over into a wrong relationship with others.” - Eugene Peterson

John 1:14-18

14 And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us, and we have seen his glory, glory as of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15 (John bore witness about him, and cried out, “This was he of whom I said, ‘He who comes after me ranks before me, because he was before me.’”) 16 For from his fullness we have all received, grace upon grace.  17 For the law was given through Moses; grace and truth came through Jesus Christ. 18 No one has ever seen God; the only God, who is at the Father's side, he has made him known.

Revelation 21:1-4

1Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. 2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling place of God is with man. He will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and God himself will be with them as their God. 4 He will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain anymore, for the former things have passed away.”
