This sermon is centered on God’s question to Adam in Genesis 3: “Where are you?”—a question that still confronts every person today. God was not seeking information, but inviting broken people back into His presence. The message reminds us that after sin entered the world, humanity began hiding from God, even though He continued to pursue them with grace. In the same way, God calls us now, not because He is unaware of our condition, but because we often are.

Pastor Mike emphasized that knowing where we are spiritually determines how we live spiritually. Drawing from Ephesians 6 and 1 Peter 5, we were reminded that we live in a real spiritual battlefield, even when we don’t recognize it. Strength for this conflict does not come from effort, knowledge, or morality, but from positioning ourselves in intimacy with God. Being “strong in the Lord” means allowing ourselves to be strengthened through time in His presence.

Much of the sermon warned against neglect rather than outright rejection. Distraction, busyness, and misplaced priorities slowly cause us to drift. God continues to call—through Scripture, prayer, quiet nudges, and conviction—and the question remains whether we will respond. The call is simple: come to Him, treasure Him, and refuse to treat intimacy with God as optional.
