Sermon Overview
Reidhead posits that many believers miss God by living in the "regrets of yesterday" or the "fears of tomorrow." He asserts that God is the "I AM," and His grace is only available for the current second. This sermon is a call to immediate obedience and a "present-tense" faith that recognizes God's active presence in every circumstance. +2
Key Principles
Sacrament of Now:Practice the presence of God in the currentsecond; realize He only meets you in the "Now."
God as "I AM": Stop looking for God in the "I was" (past) or "I will be" (future); encounter Him as the "Present Help."
Overcoming Regret: Use the blood of Christ to sever the "chains of yesterday's regret" so you can function today.
Overcoming Anxiety:Reject "future-fear"; refuse to spend today's grace on tomorrow's imagined problems.
Immediate Obedience:Respond to God's voice now; realize that delayed obedience is actually disobedience.
Present Tense Grace:Reach for the "Grace for this minute"; stop trying to store up grace for next year.
Now-Response: Treat faith as a "reaction to the Present God," not a memory of what He did long ago.
Eternal Present: Live in the "vertical now," where your fellowship with Christ is independent of time.
