This sermon explores Psalm 84 as a profound expression of longing for God's presence and dwelling place. The pastor examines how the psalmist's yearning for the tabernacle represents a deeper spiritual hunger that material possessions cannot satisfy. Drawing on insights from St. Augustine and C.S. Lewis, the message emphasizes that humans are created with an innate longing for divine connection that leaves us restless until we find rest in God. The sermon challenges listeners to examine the various "altars" in their lives—places where they worship, find meaning, and spend their time—and to assess whether these spaces provide spiritual life or drain their souls. Ultimately, the message calls believers to prioritize creating sacred spaces for encountering God's presence amidst life's busy pursuits.
