Pastor Jack teaches from Genesis 18 on how to respond to God’s manifest presence, using Abraham’s encounter with the Lord as a model for worship. He emphasizes that when God appears, the proper response is to bow, invite His presence to stay, and minister to Him through worship and sacrifice. The message culminates in a foundation-raising service for the church building, where Pastor Jack connects the physical construction to God’s work of building His spiritual temple—the church—and calls the congregation to praise and faith as they trust God for provision.
