Staying in His Presence

Zack’s message explores the profound truth that God's response to our brokenness isn't distance—it's presence. Drawing from David's desperate prayer in Psalm 51, we see a man who committed unthinkable sins yet understood something crucial: the greatest tragedy isn't our failure; it's separation from God. David's cry, 'Do not cast me away from your presence,' reveals that true repentance isn't about cleaning ourselves up before approaching God—it's about refusing to self-exile. Through Jesus, we discover that God doesn't wait for us to become worthy; He steps into our mess, sits at our table, and makes His home within us. The journey from drift to restoration isn't about performing better or trying harder—it's about remaining in His presence.
