Dedicated To The Men of God Who Preach the Word of God As It

"Preach The Word"
New Year's Sermons
Text: Exod. 33:14
I. IT IS A SAVING PRESENCE
In the
sixty-third chapter of Isaiah, the prophet exclaimed: "The angel of his presence saved them." Our salvation rests not on our achievements, but on the Angel of his presence who saves us all.II. IT IS A PROTECTING PRESENCE
In the fourteenth chapter of Exodus we read that when Israel came to the shore of the Red Sea, with a towering wall on either side of them, and Pharaoh s chariots were thundering up behind, the pillar of cloud
— the visible manifestation of Jehovah s presence — with the angel of the Lord, removed and went behind the Hebrews, and against this great smokescreen the Egyptian forces were helpless.III. IT IS A SEPARATING PRESENCE
In the thirty-third chapter of Exodus, and the sixteenth verse, Moses asks: "Wherein shall it be known here that I and thy people have found grace in thy sight? Is it not in that thou goest with us? so shall we be separated, I and thy people, from
all the people that are upon the face of the earth."IV. IT IS A UNIFYING PRESENCE
In the twenty-first verse of the seventeenth chapter of John, Jesus prays: "That they all may be one; as thou, Father, art in me, and I in thee, that thee aalso may be one in us; that the world may believe that thou hast sent me."
V. IT IS AN ENERGIZING PRESENCE
In the fourth chapter of Philippians and the thirteenth verse, Paul says: "I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me."
VI. IT IS A SATISFYING PRESENCE
In Psalm sixteen, verse eleven, David exclaims, "In thy presence
is fulness of joy; at thy right hand are pleasures for evermore." It is not possible to be perfectly happy without Christ; neither is it possible to lack pleasure if we are in perpetual fellowship with him.SERMON FROM MAZE
