Summary
In the middle of our series on grace, we’re going to look at how experiencing God’s presence gives a truer, more heartfelt sense of God’s grace. As we begin, let’s set aside every burden, and simply be present with God today. And may our focus for the next few minutes empower us to experience to greater depths the grace-filled presence of our loving God.
Our Scripture for today comes from Numbers 6:25, and today's worship is The Blessing by Bethel Music featuring We The Kingdom.

Message From Craig:
We're launching a summer initiative partnering with generous donors like you to rapidly guide more believers to the presence of God through First15. And I need your help.
I ask you to prayerfully consider what you are able to give today to help us reach more people with First15. For every $1 you can give today, we can bring a real person into consistent connection with God. That’s a real person spending time daily in worship, reading, and prayer. That’s a real person going into their day with love to give, because they’ve met with Love himself.
Thank you for your continued generosity and prayers. We cannot do this without you.
Craig Denison - Author & Founder, First15
