Living from the Presence of God: Discover the Shekinah Glory with Pastor Gary Caudill

Living From the Presence of God (Part 1)

On the evening of February 28, 2024, at Washington Heights Baptist Church (WHBC), Pastor Gary Caudill delivered the first part of his sermon series titled "Living From the Presence of God." This insightful session, focused on Numbers chapter 9, verses 17 through 23, invited the congregation into a deeper understanding of the Shekinah Glory of God and its relevance in the lives of believers. Pastor Caudill explained the importance of the Holy Spirit in revealing Christ to us, emphasizing the continuous guidance and presence of God as paramount to our spiritual journey. Through a blend of teaching and preaching, he explored the Old Testament typologies of Christ and the Holy Spirit, drawing connections to the believer's life in the New Testament era.

Pastor Caudill carefully navigated the scriptures to demonstrate how the presence of God insists on leading the way for His people, much like the cloud over the tabernacle led the Israelites. He passionately argued against the notion that God is distant, instead asserting that believers can experience victory and purpose through living in God's presence today. Using personal experiences and biblical examples, Pastor Caudill encouraged the congregation to seek a relationship with God that transcends mere religious activity, urging them to let the Holy Spirit guide their paths. The sermon was a call to recognize the indispensability of God's presence in achieving true spiritual fulfillment and victory over life's challenges.

<< Numbers 9

Numbers 9:17-23

17 And when the cloud was taken up from the tabernacle, then after that the children of Israel journeyed: and in the place where the cloud abode, there the children of Israel pitched their tents.

18 At the commandment of the LORD the children of Israel journeyed, and at the commandment of the LORD they pitched: as long as the cloud abode upon the tabernacle they rested in their tents.

19 And when the cloud tarried long upon the tabernacle many days, then the children of Israel kept the charge of the LORD, and journeyed not.

20 And so it was, when the cloud was a few days upon the tabernacle; according to the commandment of the LORD they abode in their tents, and according to the commandment of the LORD they journeyed.

21 And so it was, when the cloud abode from even unto the morning, and that the cloud was taken up in the morning, then they journeyed: whether it was by day or by night that the cloud was taken up, they journeyed.

22 Or whether it were two days, or a month, or a year, that the cloud tarried upon the tabernacle, remaining thereon, the children of Israel abode in their tents, and journeyed not: but when it was taken up, they journeyed.

23 At the commandment of the LORD they rested in the tents, and at the commandment of the LORD they journeyed: they kept the charge of the LORD, at the commandment of the LORD by the hand of Moses.
