This message confronts us with an uncomfortable truth: our struggle with spiritual growth often isn't about God's distance, but our own hiding. Drawing from Genesis 3, we're reminded that humanity's first response to sin was shame and concealment—Adam and Eve literally hid from God in the garden. That pattern continues today. We say we want to be closer to Jesus, yet part of us resists because closeness requires surrender, change, and acknowledging He's in charge. The sermon challenges our excuses and lukewarm Christianity, pointing to the reality that if we're not on fire for God, it's because we don't want to be. This isn't condemnation—it's liberation. We already have everything we need through Christ. The problem isn't lack of resources but misplaced priorities. Like the Apostle Paul's dramatic conversion in Acts 9, transformation can happen rapidly when we stop negotiating with God and simply obey. The call is clear: stop hiding, acknowledge our idolatries, put Christ first in every moment, and watch how quickly our spiritual lives ignite. We're reminded that walking in the light brings fellowship with God and others, and that all our problems find their solution in coming to Jesus—not just once at salvation, but daily, moment by moment.
