Pastor Duane Cross |  02.22.09

I. BEING IN HIS PRESENCE

"When they saw the courage of Peter and John and realized that they were unschooled, ordinary men, they were astonished and they took note that these men had been with Jesus."                     (Acts 4:13 NIV)

 II. HUNGERING FOR HIS PRESENCE

"Like newborn babies, crave pure spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow up in your salvation, now that you have tasted that the Lord is good."

                                                                        (1 Peter 2:2-3 NIV)

 "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be     filled."                                                                   (Matthew 5:6 NIV)

 "They pant after the dust of the earth."                   (Amos 2:7 KJV)                     

 "The days are coming," declares the Sovereign LORD, "when I will send a famine through the land- not a famine of food or a thirst for water, but a famine of hearing the words of the LORD."  (Amos 8:11 NIV)

"... what is not bread...and does not satisfy."          (Isaiah 55:2)

"Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life."   (John 4:13-14 NIV)                                

 "You're blessed when you've worked up a good appetite for God. He's food and drink in the best meal you'll ever eat."    (Matthew 5:6 The Message)
