What the Bible Says About God | Pastor Charles Jenkins | Psalm 27:1

Concord Church DallasJul 2026

Pastor Charles Jenkins teaches from Psalm 27:1 to paint a biblical picture of God as our light (guide and revealer), our lifeline (rescuer and restorer), and our Lord (shepherd, leader, and stronghold).

She emphasizes sacrificial praise, 24/7 worship and prayer, removing religious barriers (veils, hollow ritual, commerce in the temple), guarding the manifested presence, and choosing a lifestyle and church culture that prioritizes God's glory so revival becomes habitation rather than a seasonal event.
