The New & Living Way

Pt. 1 – Draw Near

Dave Riddle – 4/08/2018

Key passage: Hebrews 10:19-25

Draw Near, Hold On, Watch Out…

proserchomai (Greek: προσέρχομαι) – to come to, come near, approach, visit. Draw near to.

How Do We Draw Near to God?

  • Word
    • Not simply a source of theology and doctrine, but also a revelation of God’s love for us.
    • Ephesians 3:4
      • Insight into the mystery of the divine.
        • Spirit
          • paraklētos (Greek:παράκλητος) – summoned, called to one’s side, especially to provide aid. A helper, an aide, an assistant.
          • We experience Him through the gift of the Holy Spirit.
            • Family
              • Matthew 18:20
              • Whenever and wherever… be assured that God is there with us!
              • We gather together to experience God Himself.

                • Invitation to a Worship Rhythm

                • Revelation
                  • It begins with Him
                    • He reveals Himself to us first…
                      • Remember
                        • One word that summarizes the whole Bible and especially the OT.
                          • “Remember”
                          • Exodus 13:3
                          • Luke 22:19
                            • Celebrate
                              • Psalm 71:23
                              • We have so much to celebrate!
                                • Contemplate
                                  • As God reveals Himself to us we begin to see things about ourselves.
                                    • Transformation
                                      • Not just a spiritual exercise, but a transformative experience.
                                      • Isaiah 6:1-8
                                        • Transformed by the presence of God.

                                          • The New and Living Way is a way of worship. Draw Near to Him.
