Thanks for this, Todd. It makes perfect sense.

Dwelling places and trust…seeing the spiritual journey this way, I have had many dwelling places where I learned or disposed of beliefs…trusting that the Spirit is with me always, even when I am not aware, gave/gives strength to go forward to the next dwelling place for my soul.

Thank you for your search and sharing.

Thank for this contextual and exegetical look at John 14's opening verses. I loved these verses as a teenaged Christian, but the "mansions" and even "rooms" kind of put some distance between me and these verses as I've grown older. "Dwelling places" along our journey and the context of confusion and uproar allow me to find their place along my own journey again.

The female AI reading of your message is distracting and devoid of emphasis or spiritual delivery. What happened to the sermon link for your preaching delivery. Is there a way for the audio to be the recorded version?

Denis, Is that the Substack AI reading? I will add sermon link. Often my AV person doesn’t get it processed till Tuesday, but I will put it up. Thanks for letting me know, and I will make sure to always include in the future.
