The Ministry of Presence :: Alvin Brown

What does it really mean to show up in people’s lives?

In this message from Matthew 9, we explore what it looks like to be present the way Jesus was—deeply, compassionately, and purposefully. 

Long before we had Public Service Announcements warning us about danger or urging us to do good, Jesus gave us the ultimate call to action: go, see, ask.

Jesus didn’t wait for people to come to Him. He went to them—teaching, healing, and seeing them with eyes of compassion. And He calls us to do the same.

This sermon unpacks how the ministry of presence isn’t about being perfect—it’s about slowing down and being present in three key ways.

Whether you’re someone exploring faith or a longtime believer, this message will challenge and inspire you to live differently in a world desperate for real connection. 

Watch now and discover how you were made to live sent, see, and serve—just like Jesus.
