Its a harsh truth and a crucial thing to have access to an Eternal and Holy God. A God that wants to dwell among his people a God that wants to commune with you and love you and he gets the front door on his lock Pastor @Etienne Nelson
Because the camera is in face distracted, because someone or someone did or did not speak to me distracted, because someone told me to move over or move out of this seat distracted. Because we idolized the person in the pulpit more than we edify God's presence distracted Pastor @Etienne Nelson
You are apart the The Body. And even if you were and entire body by yourself then you be headless because Christ himself was the head of the church Pastor @Etienne Nelson
Or we are trying to convince people that God is not dwelling in our hearts ❤️ that God does not have a heart ❤️ for his Church. It's a crazy thing it's a crazy thing Pastor @Etienne Nelson
John 4:23 23 But bthe hour is coming, and is now here, when the true worshipers will worship the Father cin spirit and dtruth, for the Father eis seeking such people to worship him.
He's looking for worship in sanctuaries, he's looking for worship in your heart❤️ and he is searching the earth 🌎 and he's looking in buildings and I'm not quite sure he's finding that Pasor @Etienne Nelson
So we have decapitated Christians on this side. Running around trying to convince everybody that they don't need and Assembly and that they don't need a Sanctuary because God can accomplish everything that he wants to accomplish in isolation with me Pastor @Etienne Nelson
But on this side and on far right we have the legalistic old testament Pharasitic faithful Christian who believe that the summation with an encounter with God only rest on Sunday mornings. And Sunday mornings has to go the way they think it should go eventhough I'm in the sanctuary I'm distracted because I came on a Sunday and Apostle Dr. Matthew L Stevenson III is not here Pastor Etienne Nelson is here preaching. Or I came on a Sunday and I'm distracted because the LED went out, distracted because they showed up and there was a panel conversation. And surely God doesn't like discussions. He doesn't like discussions and eventhough at 12 years old we thought Jesus himself sitting with the teachers and the rabbis having conversations. Hmm, distracted Pastor @Etienne Nelson
Our perspective of Christianity has been so radicalized that we believe that om this side of Christianity we believe we'll I am the Church. Okay that's not exactly in the Bible. You probably meant to say is that I Am The Body: Pastor #@Etienne Nelson Scripture Reference: 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 with Many Members 12 For just as ithe body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, jso it is with Christ. 13 For kin one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-lJews or Greeks, slaves1 or free-and mall were made to drink of one Spirit. 14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? 18 But as it is, nGod arranged the members in the body, each one of them, oas he chose. 19 If all were a single member, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts,2 yet one body. 21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, pall rejoice together. 27 Now qyou are the body of Christ and individually rmembers of it.

One of the harshes truth about te sanctuary if God decided not tp show up many would not recognize his absence Pastor @Etienne Nelson
Before you say Amen and you are thinking I am talking about this building I'm talking about this heart ❤️ Pastor @Etienne Nelson

So the Father is seeking a people to worship him Pastor @Etienne Nelson
In a culture of intense Bibble denial, skepticism; God never intended for his people to debate his omnipresence Pastor @Etienne Nelson

Scripture Reference:
1 Corinthians 12:12-27
with Many Members
12 For just as ithe body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, jso it is with Christ. 13 For kin one Spirit we were all baptized into one body-lJews or Greeks, slaves1 or free-and mall were made to drink of one Spirit.
14 For the body does not consist of one member but of many. 15 If the foot should say, “Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 16 And if the ear should say, “Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body,” that would not make it any less a part of the body. 17 If the whole body were an eye, where would be the sense of hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? 18 But as it is, nGod arranged the members in the body, each one of them, oas he chose. 19 If all were a single member, where would the body be? 20 As it is, there are many parts,2 yet one body.
21 The eye cannot say to the hand, “I have no need of you,” nor again the head to the feet, “I have no need of you.” 22 On the contrary, the parts of the body that seem to be weaker are indispensable, 23 and on those parts of the body that we think less honorable we bestow the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, 24 which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving greater honor to the part that lacked it, 25 that there may be no division in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. 26 If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, pall rejoice together.
27 Now qyou are the body of Christ and individually rmembers of it.
