Here are this week’s Announcements:

  • If you had to miss the Sermon last Sunday, you can always listen here.  This coming Sunday we’ll be in Proverbs 4.

  • The Women’s Retreat will be a low-key time of fellowship and sharing as our ladies explore what it means to build connections as sisters in Christ.  It will be held at the Chicagoland Baptists Building (1356 N.

52 Doctrines

Week 18

God is Omnipresent – Gods omnipresence refers to His presence in all time and all places simultaneously. Because God exists apart from and outside of time and space, He is not limited by their constraints (1 Kg. 8:27; Acts 17:24). He is present with us wherever we are, and sees all that occurs; nothing escapes His attention (Ps. 33:14; 139:7-10; Isa. 57:15; Jer. 23:23-24; Matt. 18:20). Gods omnipresence is a deterrent for sin, and a source of great comfort and hope for believers.
