Pastor Jeffrey Harpole’s sermon emphasizes the importance of seeking and prioritizing God's presence, using the story of David bringing the Ark of the Covenant back to Israel as a central metaphor. He contrasts David's eagerness to restore the Ark to Israel with King Saul’s neglect of it, illustrating how spiritual apathy leads to loss and darkness. Pastor Harpole challenges us to actively pursue God, highlighting that true blessing and revival come not from routine or material success, but from the presence of the Holy Spirit. He also stresses the need to humble oneself, setting aside pride and image, to fully engage in worship and experience God's transformative power.
