"The God Who Comes Close" Pastor Dominic Russo

This past Sunday, Pastor Dominic delivered an inspiring message titled "The God Who Comes Close." As we gathered on October 13, 2024, we embarked on a new series focused on drawing nearer to God, exploring how our spiritual journey can be enriched by understanding the signs of the times and the profound presence of the Holy Spirit in our lives. Below are some key takeaways from the sermon that we hope will guide your reflections and actions this week:
Discovering Your Purpose: Pastor Dominic emphasized the importance of discovering your "why" through the Holy Spirit and the Word of God. Once you uncover your purpose, your life transforms into an extraordinary journey.
Drawing Near in Perilous Times: As we face challenging times, the sermon highlighted the scripture from James 4:8, "Draw near to God, and He will draw near to you." This promise assures us of God's presence and strength in the midst of worldly turmoil.
The Power of the Holy Spirit: The message reminded us of the enduring power and joy that the Holy Spirit brings into our lives. Romans 14:17 describes the kingdom of God as righteousness, peace, and joy, which are gifts available to all believers.
