Video Intro to A Christian’s Pocket Guide to the Presence of God
Hi, I'm Danny Hyde, pastor of the Oceanside United Reformed Church here in sunny San Diego, California. And I'd like to introduce you briefly to my forthcoming book with Christian Focus Publications, A Christians Pocket Guide to the Presence of God (affiliate link).
I preached a series of sermons back in June of 2025 to my congregation on this theme. And it was really the most transformational series of sermons that I've ever preached for my own soul.
To see with my head that throughout Scripture, from Genesis to Revelation, from creation to Christ, the church, and the consummation, God is present and near to his people throughout every situation of life.
This series also inflamed and enlivened my heart and soul but also my peoples’.
So, this is a book that's meant to transform your head to know the Word, to know God, but also to change your heart, to experience God’s presence with you in his word, sacrament, and prayer. It will also equip your hands to serve God, to love him, to serve your neighbor, to testify and evangelize, to worship him with all of your heart, soul, mind, and strength, to work hard, to be the best student that you can possibly be.
Whether you're on a team, you're a coach, whether you're a student, whether you’re a single, a couple, or a family, wherever you find yourself in life, know that God is present with you and he's equipping you by his presence to serve him.
I encourage you to check out the preview of the book at the Christian Focus Publications website. You can get it on Amazon or wherever you find your good books.
I'd like to encourage you to grow in your knowledge, to be full of love for God, and to serve him. And I pray and trust that this little book, A Christian's Pocket Guide to the Presence of God, is going to help you do just that, to the glory of God alone.
