Where The Ark Is

Jan 25, 2026    Grant Braaten

In this sermon titled "Where The Ark Is," Pastor Grant explores the profound impact of perspective and the presence of God in our lives. Drawing from the biblical accounts of the Ark of the Covenant, he illustrates how our "spiritual location"—where we focus our hearts and minds—determines the level of peace and power we experience.


Key Themes and Insights

The Power of Perspective: Pastor Grant emphasizes that while we cannot always control our circumstances, we can control our perspective. He teaches that a shift in how we view our challenges can transform our response to them, moving us from a place of fear to one of faith.


Prioritizing the Presence of God: The sermon highlights the Ark of the Covenant as a symbol of God's presence. Pastor Grant encourages the congregation to move away from "religious routine" and instead cultivate a genuine, daily hunger for the presence of the Holy Spirit.


Restoration and Worship: Worship is presented not just as music, but as a lifestyle of acknowledging God's sovereignty. The message suggests that when we position ourselves "where the Ark is"—centering our lives on God—we find restoration for our souls and clarity for our purpose.


Active Faith: Pastor Grant challenges us to take active steps in their faith journey, suggesting that spiritual growth requires intentionality and a willingness to leave behind old mindsets that no longer serve God's purpose for their lives.
