Continuing the Movement series, Dominic Jackson explores what it means to be a people of presence—with God, with one another, and in our own lives. Anchored in Matthew 28, he reframes the Great Commission not just as a call to go, but as a call to be with: a God who draws near to us, a community that shows up shoulder to shoulder, and a life that resists distraction in order to be fully attentive. From mountaintop encounters in Scripture to the quiet reality of our daily habits, Dominic asks a simple but searching question: not is God present?—but are we?

In a distracted and disconnected age, this sermon offers both challenge and invitation. We are given the gift of our time—1,440 minutes each day—and the opportunity to share it with others and with God. True presence isn’t accidental; it requires intentionality, attention, and pursuit. Whether in prayer, community, or ordinary moments, this message calls us to be fully where we are—present to the God who is already present with us.
