1 00:00:00,400 --> 00:00:03,721 Hello and welcome to the Middletown Baptist Church Podcast, 2 00:00:03,873 --> 00:00:06,485 where we are proclaiming the truth to the world. 3 00:00:06,985 --> 00:00:10,777 In this podcast series, we're going to be looking into biblical 4 00:00:10,841 --> 00:00:14,165 words that have great significance to our faith. 5 00:00:14,985 --> 00:00:18,889 The name of this series is called the Word of the Week, where 6 00:00:18,937 --> 00:00:22,929 once a week we will dive deeper into these words that we are 7 00:00:22,977 --> 00:00:24,765 familiar with in Scripture. 8 00:00:25,145 --> 00:00:26,473 So come along with me. 9 00:00:26,569 --> 00:00:29,005 Let's study the Word of the Week. 10 00:00:30,105 --> 00:00:31,537 Pastor Josh here. 11 00:00:31,721 --> 00:00:34,125 The Word of the Week is omnipresence. 12 00:00:34,505 --> 00:00:36,977 In this study, we've been looking at the character traits of 13 00:00:37,001 --> 00:00:38,721 God, his attributes. 14 00:00:38,913 --> 00:00:42,705 And we've learned that there are communicable attributes, attributes 15 00:00:42,785 --> 00:00:45,553 of God that we can't completely obtain. 16 00:00:45,609 --> 00:00:50,049 But what we can do in our lives is mirror those attributes 17 00:00:50,137 --> 00:00:52,201 as we grow more and more like Christ. 18 00:00:52,273 --> 00:00:56,081 And so, for example, if we love, we're loving in the love of 19 00:00:56,113 --> 00:00:56,401 Christ. 20 00:00:56,473 --> 00:00:58,713 And even though we can't perfectly love someone the way that 21 00:00:58,729 --> 00:01:02,125 the Lord loves in his holiness, we can grow in those areas 22 00:01:02,205 --> 00:01:03,445 of character. 23 00:01:03,525 --> 00:01:07,581 But there are some attributes of God that are incommunicable, meaning 24 00:01:07,613 --> 00:01:10,869 there's no way that we as Christians could hold them in any 25 00:01:10,917 --> 00:01:15,797 degree, because these are attributes alone given to God. 26 00:01:15,901 --> 00:01:19,181 And one of those attributes is omnipresence. 27 00:01:19,333 --> 00:01:21,301 What does omnipresence mean? 28 00:01:21,493 --> 00:01:25,605 Omnipresence means that God is everywhere. 29 00:01:25,685 --> 00:01:27,085 He's present everywhere. 30 00:01:27,165 --> 00:01:32,289 Omni means all in Latin, and present obviously means he's there, 31 00:01:32,337 --> 00:01:34,281 and so he's everywhere. 32 00:01:34,473 --> 00:01:38,609 And God is regarded as omnipresent because of what Scripture 33 00:01:38,657 --> 00:01:41,257 has to say about his presence in our lives. 34 00:01:41,321 --> 00:01:47,321 And sometimes God's presence is evident to believers, evident 35 00:01:47,393 --> 00:01:48,073 to people. 36 00:01:48,129 --> 00:01:53,369 And sometimes we might not understand or feel his presence in 37 00:01:53,377 --> 00:01:54,049 our life. 38 00:01:54,177 --> 00:02:00,029 We know that in Psalm 46, verse 1, it says, God is our refuge 39 00:02:00,077 --> 00:02:03,305 and strength, a very present help in trouble. 40 00:02:03,685 --> 00:02:07,269 And so there are going to be times in our life as believers that 41 00:02:07,317 --> 00:02:14,185 we will feel God's presence as a refuge, as strength, as comfort. 42 00:02:14,685 --> 00:02:18,045 But there will also be times in which we don't feel it. 43 00:02:18,125 --> 00:02:20,625 Sometimes there will be those moments of. 44 00:02:20,935 --> 00:02:26,703 Of quiet, quietness in our lives when it comes to God's voice 45 00:02:26,759 --> 00:02:27,607 and God's presence. 46 00:02:27,671 --> 00:02:31,367 But either way, we have to take it as a truth that God is present 47 00:02:31,431 --> 00:02:32,555 in Every way. 48 00:02:33,135 --> 00:02:35,311 Psalm 33 is a. 49 00:02:35,343 --> 00:02:38,439 Is a really, really great passage of Scripture dealing with 50 00:02:38,527 --> 00:02:42,591 these attributes of God, and specifically the attribute of God's 51 00:02:42,623 --> 00:02:43,639 omnipresence. 52 00:02:43,807 --> 00:02:47,895 And Psalm 33, verses 13 and 14, it says, the Lord looketh from 53 00:02:47,935 --> 00:02:48,683 heaven. 54 00:02:48,879 --> 00:02:53,555 He beholdeth all the sons of men from the place of his habitation. 55 00:02:53,635 --> 00:02:56,815 He looketh upon all the inhabitants of the earth. 56 00:02:57,275 --> 00:03:02,459 And so God's omnipresence is a characteristic of him being present 57 00:03:02,547 --> 00:03:05,291 in both time and in space. 58 00:03:05,483 --> 00:03:08,419 And we know that God is not limited by time and space. 59 00:03:08,467 --> 00:03:14,935 And so there are actually two different elements of God's character. 60 00:03:15,115 --> 00:03:18,383 And these are a little bit technical terms, but we do know that 61 00:03:18,439 --> 00:03:22,063 we have a God who is transcendent, meaning he is not bound 62 00:03:22,119 --> 00:03:22,943 by space and time. 63 00:03:22,999 --> 00:03:25,695 He transcends space and time. 64 00:03:25,815 --> 00:03:28,631 He's not bound by the way that we are bound by it. 65 00:03:28,703 --> 00:03:30,635 We are bound by linear time. 66 00:03:31,095 --> 00:03:35,103 We are bound by the presence of where we are in that moment. 67 00:03:35,239 --> 00:03:37,743 I know for me, sometimes I would like to be in two places at 68 00:03:37,759 --> 00:03:39,595 once, but I cannot be. 69 00:03:40,015 --> 00:03:42,751 But what we do know is that God is not bound by space or time. 70 00:03:42,783 --> 00:03:44,795 And therefore he is transcendent. 71 00:03:45,575 --> 00:03:48,143 But we also do know that he is imminent. 72 00:03:48,279 --> 00:03:53,655 Imminent means immanence is God's personal connection to his 73 00:03:53,695 --> 00:03:54,475 creation. 74 00:03:54,855 --> 00:03:59,079 So God is not just a clock designer that sets. 75 00:03:59,207 --> 00:04:01,319 Creates the clock, sets it in motion and steps away. 76 00:04:01,367 --> 00:04:02,975 No, God is involved with us. 77 00:04:03,015 --> 00:04:07,807 And so we know that in his omnipresence he is both transcendent 78 00:04:07,871 --> 00:04:11,519 and imminent in the fact that he is not bound by space or time, 79 00:04:11,567 --> 00:04:14,813 but he is also present with us in our lives. 80 00:04:14,869 --> 00:04:20,917 And so what an amazing, unique element of God is that he is so amazingly 81 00:04:20,981 --> 00:04:24,077 powerful, that he is not bound by space or time, but he also is 82 00:04:24,101 --> 00:04:25,733 here, and he's present with us. 83 00:04:25,909 --> 00:04:27,501 And that gives us comfort. 84 00:04:27,693 --> 00:04:30,533 That should give us that comfort of what Psalm 46 says, that 85 00:04:30,549 --> 00:04:34,905 he's a refuge and strength, a very present help in time of trouble. 86 00:04:35,365 --> 00:04:40,365 Now, a lot of people will misunderstand this character trait 87 00:04:40,405 --> 00:04:42,825 by saying that God is everything. 88 00:04:43,125 --> 00:04:46,741 Not that he is everywhere, but that he is everything. 89 00:04:46,813 --> 00:04:50,853 And although God is not everything, that's a belief system 90 00:04:50,909 --> 00:04:52,229 called pantheism. 91 00:04:52,397 --> 00:04:55,269 That God is the tree, that God is the water. 92 00:04:55,357 --> 00:04:58,109 No, God is not all of those things. 93 00:04:58,197 --> 00:05:00,345 God is the Creator of those things. 94 00:05:00,685 --> 00:05:02,973 But he is present at all times. 95 00:05:03,029 --> 00:05:07,663 And so it's easy to get those confused, or it's easy for us to 96 00:05:07,719 --> 00:05:10,927 kind of mend or blend those two things together. 97 00:05:10,991 --> 00:05:14,399 But we do know that God is distinct in his. 98 00:05:14,527 --> 00:05:18,515 In his character when it comes to the separation of his creation. 99 00:05:18,895 --> 00:05:21,155 The Creator is not the creation. 100 00:05:21,775 --> 00:05:25,455 And so there are plenty of passages of Scripture that talk about 101 00:05:25,495 --> 00:05:25,815 this. 102 00:05:25,895 --> 00:05:27,647 Isaiah 40, verse 12. 103 00:05:27,791 --> 00:05:31,975 Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and met 104 00:05:32,015 --> 00:05:35,447 without heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the 105 00:05:35,471 --> 00:05:38,831 earth, and measure and weighed the mountains, and Scales and the 106 00:05:38,863 --> 00:05:39,775 hills in a balance. 107 00:05:39,815 --> 00:05:44,399 And so there's this, you know, this question, this rhetorical question. 108 00:05:44,447 --> 00:05:45,551 Who has done all of these things? 109 00:05:45,583 --> 00:05:46,247 Well, it's God. 110 00:05:46,311 --> 00:05:51,111 I mean, God is actively present in this world, and he's actively 111 00:05:51,183 --> 00:05:53,079 present in the affairs of man. 112 00:05:53,127 --> 00:05:58,631 And so God is in a very special way attentive to our lives. 113 00:05:58,743 --> 00:06:00,479 He wants to intercede in our lives. 114 00:06:00,527 --> 00:06:01,675 That's his imminence. 115 00:06:03,015 --> 00:06:06,595 God wants us to seek after him in that personal way. 116 00:06:07,015 --> 00:06:12,247 And we know that he is present in many different ways that we can 117 00:06:12,351 --> 00:06:12,703 notice. 118 00:06:12,759 --> 00:06:18,735 But really the greatest act of God's presence with mankind is Jesus 119 00:06:18,775 --> 00:06:21,159 Christ is in the Son. 120 00:06:21,207 --> 00:06:22,039 Jesus Christ. 121 00:06:22,167 --> 00:06:26,407 Colossians, chapter 2, verse 19, it says, and not beholding the 122 00:06:26,431 --> 00:06:30,027 head from which all the body by joints and bands have nourished, 123 00:06:30,151 --> 00:06:32,979 nourishment, ministered and knit together, increaseth with the 124 00:06:33,027 --> 00:06:33,859 increase of God. 125 00:06:33,907 --> 00:06:39,179 So essentially what we see here is that in Jesus Christ we can 126 00:06:39,227 --> 00:06:41,139 see the presence of God. 127 00:06:41,187 --> 00:06:45,139 We can see his care for mankind. 128 00:06:45,187 --> 00:06:49,411 And it's described in the best way, I believe, in Romans, chapter 129 00:06:49,443 --> 00:06:50,155 5, verse 8. 130 00:06:50,195 --> 00:06:52,603 But God commendeth or demonstrate his love towards us in 131 00:06:52,619 --> 00:06:54,775 that while we are at sinners, Christ died for us. 132 00:06:55,075 --> 00:06:56,655 And so God loves us. 133 00:06:57,395 --> 00:06:58,899 He's present with us. 134 00:06:59,067 --> 00:07:02,495 He sent his only begotten Son for us because he loves us. 135 00:07:02,795 --> 00:07:06,435 And so there is a lot of confusion when it comes to God's 136 00:07:06,475 --> 00:07:07,171 presence. 137 00:07:07,363 --> 00:07:08,251 Can he see me? 138 00:07:08,283 --> 00:07:09,615 Is he here right now? 139 00:07:10,275 --> 00:07:13,899 All we can know is through what Scripture tells us is that he 140 00:07:13,947 --> 00:07:15,659 fills all things with his presence. 141 00:07:15,707 --> 00:07:17,307 Colossians 1:17. 142 00:07:17,371 --> 00:07:22,129 And he is before all things, and by him all things consistently. 143 00:07:22,167 --> 00:07:27,061 He upholds everything in his hand by the word of his power, as 144 00:07:27,093 --> 00:07:28,225 the Bible says. 145 00:07:28,805 --> 00:07:33,077 And so he's there to bless us. 146 00:07:33,261 --> 00:07:35,965 He's there to guide us. 147 00:07:36,125 --> 00:07:39,829 But we also can see God's presence in his judgment, right? 148 00:07:39,997 --> 00:07:42,485 Some people have some questions about, well, is God with 149 00:07:42,565 --> 00:07:43,909 those that are not with Him? 150 00:07:43,957 --> 00:07:48,301 Well, his presence is there, but his presence is not there to 151 00:07:48,333 --> 00:07:49,921 bless them necessarily. 152 00:07:50,053 --> 00:07:53,285 His presence is there to judge them, to convict them. 153 00:07:53,665 --> 00:07:57,393 And so just because somebody is not honoring God, that doesn't 154 00:07:57,409 --> 00:07:58,705 mean that God is not there. 155 00:07:58,745 --> 00:08:01,961 It just means that they are in rejection of God. 156 00:08:01,993 --> 00:08:08,217 And therefore God is enacting his justice and his righteous indignation 157 00:08:08,321 --> 00:08:09,265 against them. 158 00:08:09,425 --> 00:08:14,097 And so even when we see folks that are in rebellion against God 159 00:08:14,281 --> 00:08:18,485 and we see them judged, there is the presence of God manifested 160 00:08:18,525 --> 00:08:19,493 in his judgment. 161 00:08:19,629 --> 00:08:25,749 And just as Christians, we get to rest and glorify him in his presence 162 00:08:25,797 --> 00:08:28,077 in our life with blessings and love. 163 00:08:28,141 --> 00:08:29,025 And grace. 164 00:08:30,005 --> 00:08:33,301 So does the individual who rejects God sees his presence by 165 00:08:33,373 --> 00:08:34,149 judgment. 166 00:08:34,317 --> 00:08:40,477 And so God is never thrown off. 167 00:08:40,541 --> 00:08:42,629 He's never surprised by what we do. 168 00:08:42,677 --> 00:08:44,349 We cannot hide from Him. 169 00:08:44,517 --> 00:08:47,941 And so the omnipresence of God should serve as a reminder that we 170 00:08:47,973 --> 00:08:49,749 can't hide from Him. 171 00:08:49,797 --> 00:08:51,825 We cannot hide our sin from Him. 172 00:08:52,405 --> 00:08:57,029 But it also should be a comfort to us that even in the midst 173 00:08:57,077 --> 00:09:00,917 of our deepest, darkest moments, he is there with us. 174 00:09:00,981 --> 00:09:06,117 And we know that the Bible says in Hebrews chapter 13 that he 175 00:09:06,141 --> 00:09:08,397 will never leave us nor forsake us. 176 00:09:08,501 --> 00:09:11,917 And I believe that that is a promise of God to his children, that 177 00:09:12,061 --> 00:09:15,861 he will never leave us nor forsake us, even in the midst of 178 00:09:15,933 --> 00:09:16,865 our failures. 179 00:09:18,085 --> 00:09:23,061 And so, you know, one of the things that I think I struggle with 180 00:09:23,093 --> 00:09:28,013 in my own life is that when I am failing and when I have put my 181 00:09:28,189 --> 00:09:32,517 trust in other things and when my eyes are on other things, I tend 182 00:09:32,541 --> 00:09:35,733 to believe that, well, it's God that has his hand off of my life, 183 00:09:35,789 --> 00:09:39,871 or it's God who has forgotten me, but yet it's really the other 184 00:09:39,903 --> 00:09:40,439 way around. 185 00:09:40,527 --> 00:09:41,991 I have forgotten Him. 186 00:09:42,063 --> 00:09:48,191 I have neglected to know that God is with me, and so he is in our 187 00:09:48,223 --> 00:09:48,607 lives. 188 00:09:48,711 --> 00:09:57,711 His omnipresence can guarantee us that he is not only powerful enough 189 00:09:57,783 --> 00:10:01,567 to help us in the midst of our need, he's not only wise enough in 190 00:10:01,591 --> 00:10:05,535 his omniscience to have all the answers for us, but he's present 191 00:10:05,575 --> 00:10:07,461 with us in the sense of comfort. 192 00:10:07,543 --> 00:10:10,582 And, and I, and I love the passage of scripture in 2 Corinthians, 193 00:10:10,671 --> 00:10:16,445 chapter 1, that says that God is a God of all comfort. 194 00:10:16,745 --> 00:10:18,121 God is a God of all comfort. 195 00:10:18,153 --> 00:10:18,521 You know, I. 196 00:10:18,553 --> 00:10:23,297 I think in so many ways we want God's presence in our life, 197 00:10:23,481 --> 00:10:25,561 and we want that comfort in our life. 198 00:10:25,593 --> 00:10:29,665 But yet in many ways, we do forget that sometimes with God's 199 00:10:29,705 --> 00:10:31,365 comfort comes conviction. 200 00:10:31,665 --> 00:10:35,465 So 2 Corinthians, chapter 1, verse 3 says, he is the God of all 201 00:10:35,505 --> 00:10:39,921 comfort who comforteth us in all our tribulation, that we may 202 00:10:39,953 --> 00:10:41,809 be able to comfort them which are in any trouble. 203 00:10:41,857 --> 00:10:44,777 Meaning when we receive the comfort of God, we are then to turn 204 00:10:44,801 --> 00:10:46,805 around and give that comfort to other people. 205 00:10:47,145 --> 00:10:52,073 And so, yes, we love that comfort of God, but we also do know 206 00:10:52,089 --> 00:10:55,485 that the presence of God brings conviction. 207 00:10:56,185 --> 00:10:58,801 And so you would say, well, what does that look like? 208 00:10:58,833 --> 00:11:05,233 Well, the conviction of God is met in our lives through the conviction 209 00:11:05,289 --> 00:11:07,125 of the Holy Spirit. 210 00:11:07,625 --> 00:11:13,817 And I know that many of us, many of us will wrestle with that 211 00:11:13,881 --> 00:11:14,685 conviction. 212 00:11:16,105 --> 00:11:19,465 At least for me, I wrestle with the Conviction of the Holy Spirit 213 00:11:19,505 --> 00:11:23,833 in my life, because sometimes conviction comes in a way that is 214 00:11:23,889 --> 00:11:25,285 not very comfortable. 215 00:11:26,825 --> 00:11:29,681 I know that in my life I'll be hearing the preaching of the Word, 216 00:11:29,713 --> 00:11:35,233 or maybe I will and be, you know, reading scripture in my life. 217 00:11:35,409 --> 00:11:38,657 And, and I, and I will say, well, you know what, that's, that's 218 00:11:38,681 --> 00:11:40,085 a strong one right there. 219 00:11:40,625 --> 00:11:42,845 This is, this is, cuts to the heart. 220 00:11:43,185 --> 00:11:48,321 And so a lot of times when we feel that pain, we, we begin to run 221 00:11:48,353 --> 00:11:48,721 from it. 222 00:11:48,753 --> 00:11:50,881 But what the Bible says is that when that conviction comes, 223 00:11:50,913 --> 00:11:53,241 we should embrace that conviction because that brings us 224 00:11:53,273 --> 00:11:55,609 to that place of comfort when we get right with God. 225 00:11:55,737 --> 00:12:00,055 In John 16, verse 8 says that when the Holy Spirit comes, he will 226 00:12:00,095 --> 00:12:06,327 convict the world concerning sin, concerning righteousness and 227 00:12:06,431 --> 00:12:06,951 judgment. 228 00:12:07,023 --> 00:12:16,135 So we know that the Holy Spirit is coming, is here to comfort 229 00:12:16,175 --> 00:12:20,475 us, yes, in the presence of God, but also to convict us. 230 00:12:21,095 --> 00:12:26,659 And so to convict means to get to a place in our life where there 231 00:12:26,707 --> 00:12:32,379 should be a change and so there should be that submission to 232 00:12:32,427 --> 00:12:33,095 God. 233 00:12:33,555 --> 00:12:38,851 And so I think that two elements that we can kind of leave 234 00:12:38,883 --> 00:12:42,131 with takeaways when it comes to the omnipresence of God is that 235 00:12:42,243 --> 00:12:47,651 the presence of God in His comfort and the presence of God in 236 00:12:47,683 --> 00:12:48,775 His conviction. 237 00:12:49,195 --> 00:12:52,075 Now, we could talk about his teaching, we could talk about his 238 00:12:52,115 --> 00:12:55,275 guidance, but I think all of those are kind of wrapped up in that 239 00:12:55,315 --> 00:12:57,347 area of conviction and comfort, because the teaching comes 240 00:12:57,371 --> 00:12:58,395 in the conviction. 241 00:12:58,555 --> 00:13:02,123 The comfort comes with the peace that we take with us and the 242 00:13:02,139 --> 00:13:05,411 truths of God that we take with us in the midst of that teaching. 243 00:13:05,603 --> 00:13:10,655 And so I know that as Christians, we have to embrace these 244 00:13:11,715 --> 00:13:13,763 perfect attributes of God. 245 00:13:13,939 --> 00:13:18,427 His omnipotence, his omniscience. 246 00:13:18,571 --> 00:13:21,627 Omnipotence, all powerful omniscience, all knowing. 247 00:13:21,771 --> 00:13:25,531 And this week, his omnipresence that he is everywhere, 248 00:13:25,603 --> 00:13:27,535 he is all present. 249 00:13:27,915 --> 00:13:30,251 And so you know what, if you're a believer here today, he 250 00:13:30,283 --> 00:13:32,835 is present in your life. 251 00:13:32,955 --> 00:13:36,755 He knows your struggle, he has the power to handle your struggle, 252 00:13:36,915 --> 00:13:39,135 and he's going to be there with you through that struggle. 253 00:13:39,595 --> 00:13:42,531 And that's something that I know, for me, as a Christian, is 254 00:13:42,563 --> 00:13:44,075 a, is a comfort. 255 00:13:44,195 --> 00:13:45,195 Romans, chapter 8. 256 00:13:45,235 --> 00:13:48,615 That nothing can separate us from the love of God. 257 00:13:48,985 --> 00:13:52,881 And so if you're a believer here, when you're listening to this 258 00:13:52,913 --> 00:13:57,897 video or listening to this podcast, you can rest in the presence 259 00:13:57,961 --> 00:14:04,241 of God and His love and in his grace and in his conviction and ultimately 260 00:14:04,273 --> 00:14:05,485 in his comfort. 261 00:14:05,945 --> 00:14:10,537 And so we have concluded that three part series looking at the 262 00:14:10,641 --> 00:14:15,973 omnipotence, the omnipresence and the omniscience of God. 263 00:14:16,149 --> 00:14:19,373 We will continue next week looking at some of those communicable 264 00:14:19,429 --> 00:14:25,665 attributes we're going to be looking at grace, mercy, forgiveness, 265 00:14:26,325 --> 00:14:27,349 meekness. 266 00:14:27,517 --> 00:14:31,705 These are all truths that I think will help us in our lives to 267 00:14:32,805 --> 00:14:36,421 be more and more Christlike with that inward change that God 268 00:14:36,453 --> 00:14:38,013 gives us in our salvation. 269 00:14:38,189 --> 00:14:40,737 Well, I hope that you have a wonderful rest of your week. 270 00:14:40,861 --> 00:14:42,865 I hope that this
