This powerful message invites us to understand ourselves as the very dwelling place of God's Spirit. Drawing from Ephesians 2:22 and Acts 2, we're challenged to recognize that we are not merely visitors to God's presence, but living temples where His Spirit actively resides. The sermon explores the Hebrew concept of 'Mahankadosh'—a holy habitation—and reveals how God has chosen ordinary, imperfect believers to become His sacred dwelling place. Through the symbolism of the Hebrew letters in the word for dwelling place, we discover profound truths: God pours living water into us, watches over us with intimate care, connects everything through Jesus as the cornerstone, and brings completion and freedom to our lives. Just as the 120 believers in the upper room—fishermen, tax collectors, doubters, and mothers—were transformed by the Holy Spirit on Pentecost, that same power is available to us today. This isn't about religious performance or waiting for special moments; it's about recognizing that the God whom the heavens cannot contain has chosen to make His home within us. When we grasp this reality, we become carriers of supernatural power capable of bringing miracles not just in church buildings, but in our neighborhoods, workplaces, and everyday encounters.

What a glorious weekend at CFWC, starting on Saturday evening. Some of us gathered in the sanctuary to seek God and pray for a move of His Spirit- not just for the following morning church service, but a permanent, life changing, priority rearranging, stronghold shattering, mighty rushing wind of the fire of God!  Sunday was Pentecost Sunday- a day set aside to commemorate the Day of Pentecost, recorded in the 2nd chapter of the book of Acts. This was the initial outpouring of The Holy Ghost, evidenced by speaking in tongues. Contrary to some teachings today, this blessed fulfilled promise was NOT a one-time occurrence- if it were, Peter would not have told them while he was preaching that day "For God’s promise of the Holy Spirit is for you and your families, for those yet to be born, and for everyone whom the Lord our God calls to himself.” That means when YOU gave your heart to Jesus and made him your Savior and Lord, you automatically became eligible to receive this gift! On Sunday, the praise & worship portion of the service was so rich with the presence of God, even having an effect on the children. His heart's desire is to gift us with His best- and nothing could be better than His power that equips us with the way to be an overcomer, that gives us boldness and authority, and that teaches, leads, and guides us into all truth. Pastor Cheek's text was out of Ephesians 2:19-22 as he preached a powerfully anointed message entitled "His Dwelling Place".
