In this sermon, Bill Johnson explores the first mention of the "house of God" in Genesis 28, where Jacob dreams of a ladder connecting heaven and earth, with angels ascending and descending on it. Johnson emphasizes the significance of first mentions in Scripture, noting that this passage sets a precedent for understanding the house of God. He explains that the house of God is defined by an open heaven, angelic activity, and the voice of God, and that these characteristics should be evident in the lives of believers. Johnson connects this Old Testament revelation to the New Testament, where Jesus is described as the tabernacle of God, housing the Holy Spirit, and extends this identity to all believers. He illustrates how believers, as the house of God, are positioned at the intersection of heaven and earth, acting as gateways for divine activity. Johnson concludes with a story of a man who experienced deliverance upon entering a city where God's presence was strongly manifest, underscoring the transformative power of living as the house of God.
