http://rlcf.church River of Life Christian Fellowship 1306 N Lincoln Avenue Loveland, Colorado - 80537, USA
Summary
The central message draws from Exodus 34 and 2 Corinthians 3, emphasizing that dwelling in the presence of God causes one's joy to radiate, much like Moses' shining face. The speaker contrasts the old covenant at Mount Sinai with the new covenant found in Jesus Christ, where the veil is removed. This removal grants believers liberty and freedom to walk and please God, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Radiating the Father's joy like MosesDrawing from the story of Moses in Exodus 34, the speaker notes that when we gaze upon the Father, we radiate His joy naturally without needing to impress anyone.

What the Holy Spirit impresses on our heartsWhile we need human teachers, only the Holy Spirit can impress the truths of God directly onto our hearts, giving us personal assurance and provision.
The hidden danger of the spirit of BabelLooking at Genesis 11, the underlying spirit of building the tower of Babel was making a name for ourselves, a temptation that can even creep into Christian service and family life.
