  • The Four Great Opportunities of the Opened Sanctuary (Pt 3)
    Aug 30 2025

    In this final episode of the Four Great Opportunities of the Opened Sanctuary series, Donald E. Coleman turns our attention to the fourth and culminating invitation in Hebrews 10:25:

    “Let us not give up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another, and all the more as you see the Day approaching.”


    With clarity, depth, and spiritual warmth, Donald explores how this “Let us” statement isn’t just a call to church attendance, but a divine invitation into intentional presence, compassionate community, and agape-infused fellowship. Drawing on both the NIV and Passion Translation, this episode reclaims the purpose behind gathering: not performance, but presence with God and one another.

    In this teaching, you’ll hear Donald:

    ✅ Unpack the tabernacle progression—outer court, inner court, and the holy of holies—as a symbol of access into deeper intimacy with God

    ✅ Reflect on the modern spiritual hunger among the unaffiliated (“nones”) as a global cry for agape

    ✅ Explain how unmet human needs—esteem, safety, affection—can distort community if not surrendered to God

    ✅ Offer insights on divine therapy, drawing from John of the Cross and the practice of communing with God in solitude

    ✅ Call believers into spiritual maturity, where time in God’s presence naturally overflows into mutual encouragement and sacred assembly

    This episode is both a conclusion and a commissioning—urging us not only to draw near to God, but also to draw near to one another in a world that desperately needs the love, unity, and hope that only a Christ-centered community can provide.
