This story demonstrates how Jesus offers hope and healing in the midst of our brokenness.

Perhaps at some point in your life, you’ve been in a position where you needed an advocate? Maybe in a courtroom, where somebody stepped up and helped plead your case? In the final message of this series, Pastor Dave Gustavsen shares how this “Advocate” makes all the difference! Without an advocate, we can get stuck and never move “from here to there,” missing out on the best of what God has in store for us.

From the very beginning, the Bible says we were created to enjoy a personal relationship with God. But, people rebelled – and since then, there has been a longing in people’s hearts, to re-connect with Him. And, because of His great love, God feels exactly the same! In “Tabernacle,” Pastor Dave Gustavsen explains how we can experience and enjoy the presence of God.
