We know God is real. We know He is powerful. Yet there are seasons when He feels distant.\nDrawing from Acts 17, this sermon examines Paul's message to the Athenians and their altar to an unknown god. Paul reveals a God who cannot be contained by temples, controlled by human systems, or kept at a distance. He is the God who gives life, breath, and everything else. He is the God in whom we live and move and have our being.\nThis message reminds us that God's nearness is not dependent on our feelings. He is present in worship, present in suffering, present in ordinary days, and present in every season of life. The question is not whether God is near. The question is whether we are drawing near to Him.\nKey Themes:\n God cannot be confined to the boxes we create \n God is present in every part of life, not just spiritual moments \n We often treat God as distant when Scripture says He is near \n God's nearness is an invitation to relationship \n Drawing near to God changes how we live every day \n📖 Scriptures: Acts 17:22-28, Psalm 34:18, James 4:8, Jeremiah 23:23-24\n📲 Subscribe and share this message with someone who needs the reminder that God has never been as far away as they thought.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ztrp-e1kfEhoFNuUnZ4PIfa_NbAaVQGgyohMINXN_F4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzIyMDE1LzE2MjQz/MDM4NjYtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
