Lesson 1: The Posture of Pursuit

What does it cost to enter the presence of God?

In Lesson 1 of The Fragrance of Hunger series, Apostle Robert Barrett lays a biblical foundation for authentic pursuit: no one comes to God by self-initiation—God draws first (John 6:44). From there, we step into Luke 7:36–50 and uncover the posture of a woman whose hunger was so real it broke open everything she tried to keep sealed.

This message confronts “accidental Christianity”—people who know how to attend services but haven’t learned how to enter God’s presence—and calls believers to cultivate reverence, surrender, and costly devotion.
