God’s presence isn’t limited to a church service. He is present in our homes, workplaces, relationships, decisions, trials, and future. The question is: Are we preparing ourselves to recognize, receive, and respond to Him? In Exodus 40, we see Moses carefully prepare the tabernacle, obey God’s instructions, and then witness the glory of God fill the place. Pastor Rich Vinson reminds us that the same pattern still speaks to us today: Preparation → Obedience → Presence (POP) In this message, discover what it means to: * Make room for God in everyday life * Prepare your heart, not just your surroundings * Respond to what God has already asked you to do * Recognize God’s presence wherever you are * Follow His leading—even when you can’t see the destination One of the key reminders from this message: “We don’t prepare for God’s presence because He is absent. We prepare because He is present.” 📖 Primary Scripture: Exodus 40 If God is speaking to you about a next step, prayer need, or area of your life you want to surrender to Him, we’d love to walk with you. 👉 Next Steps & Prayer: [www.newfaithcw.org/next](http://www.newfaithcw.org/next) 👉 Church Life & Upcoming Events: [www.newfaithcw.org/life](http://www.newfaithcw.org/life) 👉 Learn More About New Faith Church: [www.newfaithcw.org](http://www.newfaithcw.org) New Faith Church — Canal Winchester, Ohio Connect with God.

What are you pursuing—and is it actually giving you what you need? In Psalm 34, David reminds us that every season of life brings different needs, questions, and fears, but every season needs the same God. As we pursue Him, we discover that His presence brings perspective, peace, strength in trouble, and a testimony of His goodness. In this message, Pastor Rich shares how: * God provides perspective when circumstances feel overwhelming. * God provides peace in the presence of fear. * God provides His presence in our trouble. * God provides a testimony that can encourage someone else. * God may not give us everything we want, but He will never fail to be everything we need. Whether you're young and trying to figure out your future, raising a family, navigating change, or wondering what purpose looks like in a new season, the invitation is the same: Pursue God. Taste and see that the Lord is good. 📖 Primary Scripture: Psalm 34:1–10 If you’d like to take a next step, submit a prayer request, or connect further: [www.newfaithcw.org/next](http://www.newfaithcw.org/next) Learn more about New Faith Church: [www.newfaithcw.org](http://www.newfaithcw.org)

What are you pursuing—and is it bringing you closer to God? We can spend our lives pursuing success, security, possessions, recognition, and even the blessings of God while missing what matters most: God Himself. In Part 1 of our Finding More: Pursuing God's Presence series, Pastor Rich Vinson looks at Moses' powerful words in Exodus 33: “If Your presence does not go with us, do not send us up from here.” Israel had been delivered from Egypt, but God still had to get Egypt out of Israel. In the same way, our past experiences, failures, disappointments, and old identities can continue shaping us long after God has called us into something new. In this message, discover why: • God's presence is more important than His provision. • What happened to you does not have to define you. • We shouldn't pursue God's blessings more than we pursue God Himself. • God's presence reveals our purpose, changes our identity, and leads us into our calling. • Making room for God requires intentionally stepping away from the noise and learning to listen. The pursuit of God's presence moves us from identifying ourselves by who we were to becoming who God has called us to be. 📖 Primary Scripture: Exodus 33:12–17 This week, ask yourself: What—or who—have I been pursuing that has become more important than God's presence?
