Weekend Messages at Grand Point Church

One Thing I Ask: Finding Home in God's Presence

What's the one gift you'd ask for above all others? In Psalm 27, King David reveals his ultimate request—and it changes everything.

Surrounded by enemies, facing betrayal, and dealing with impossible circumstances, David could have asked God for safety, victory, or vindication. Instead, he asked for the one thing that transcends all of life's chaos: God's presence.

In this episode of Weekend Messages at Grand Point Church, Pastor Doug Benedict unpacks Psalm 27 and challenges us to examine our own hearts: How much do we truly desire God's presence? Have we made our home in Him, or are we too busy "working the fields" of Christian service?

In This Episode:

  • David's profound "one thing" request in the midst of crisis
  • Why the presence of God is the safest space for the human soul
  • The three key actions of dwelling: Dwell, Gaze, and Seek
  • Recovering "holy attention" in our distracted world
  • How David asked for presence, but God gave something better—a Person
  • The invitation to "come home" to Jesus, wherever you are in your journey
  • Practical steps to make your home in God as He makes His home in you

Key Scripture: Psalm 27 (full chapter)

Big Idea: We find our home with God, when He makes His home in us!

Featured Quote:
"The presence of Jesus is the safest space for your soul. So, DWELL in Him, Church… Come Home."
