Episode 53 - The Lord Is Near

We can find the words "The Lord is near" throughout the entirety of the Bible. But what does it really mean? Is that 'near' as in Space? Time? Proximity? Depth, height, breadth, width?

In continuing our Belief Series, we look at not only what it means, but how we can live in loving response to this Truth.

Philippians 4:4-5

Psalm 139:7-10

Isaiah 29:13 – "because this people draw near with their mouth, while their hearts are far from me"

Korban (Greek), Qorban (Hebrew) – draw near; offering
