Lesson 3: Part 2 The Presence in the New Testament — The Simon Posture
Jun 3, 2026 • Apostle Robert Barrett
In this message, Apostle Barrett walks through the turning point of the series by focusing on the heart posture that responds rightly to the Presence of God under the New Covenant. After the veil is torn and the Spirit is poured out, the question becomes: How do we live—and worship—now that God is near and indwelling?
The teaching contrasts the danger of religious familiarity (the “Simon” posture) with two powerful portraits of devotion: the woman in Luke 7, marked by broken surrender, and Mary of Bethany, marked by Spirit-led, costly obedience. The call is clear: don’t settle for proximity without hunger—come to Jesus with reverence, surrender, and wholehearted worship.
