You're Invited: Desiring His Presence Above All Else
A 9-Week Bible College Course with Steve Porter – Fall 2025

Dear friend,

Have you ever found yourself longing for more—more than routine, more than performance, more than just knowing about God? Have you felt a holy ache in your heart for something deeper… more intimate… more real?

I want to personally invite you to join me this fall for a sacred journey into the manifest presence of God.

This class, Desiring His Presence Above All Else, is more than a teaching—it’s a holy invitation. Together, we will explore what it means to walk with Jesus, talk with Him, and live in the beautiful reality of His presence every moment of every day.

Over the course of 9 weeks, we will dive deep into themes like:
— The Manifest Presence of God
— Waiting on the Lord
— Practicing His Presence
— The Kiss of His Word
— Beholding the Beauty of the Lord
— Soaking and Resting in His Presence

Each session will be a time of rich teaching, heartfelt discussion, and moments of stillness where we make room for Him to come and dwell.

If you are hungry for more...
If your heart cries out, “Lord, I want to know You…”
If you’ve grown weary and long for refreshing in His presence...
Then this class is for you.

Come and rekindle your first love.
Come and learn to abide.
Come and make space to encounter the One who longs to dwell with you.

I believe the Lord will meet us in a powerful way. And I’d be honored to walk this path with you.

With expectation and love,
Steve Porter
