As we end our week on God's longing to be encountered, today we'll examine our hearts

and ask the most important question.

Do we know him?

As we take time today to fix our hearts on the single pursuit of Jesus, may your heart

swell with fresh love and devotion for him. He

alone is worthy of our hearts. And today, may you place your heart solely in his hands.

Welcome to the first 15 podcast.

Of all that God longs to reveal to us, his children,

he most desires that we would simply come to know him.

Of all the great mysteries, truths, plans, and longings of his heart,

he most desires that we would find our satisfaction, joy, and purpose, and relationship.

Jeremiah 9, 23, and 24 describes this profound desire in the heart of God.

Scripture says, let not the wise man boast in his wisdom.

Let not the mighty man boast in his might. Let not the rich man boast in his riches, but let him who boast

boast in this, that he understands and knows me, that I am the Lord who practices steadfast love,

justice, and righteousness, and the earth, for in these things I delight, declares the Lord.

What greater knowledge is there than that of God?

What greater pursuit exists than knowing the heart of our Creator, the God who

would lay down his life to make himself available to us?

You and I can know God in deeper, more transformative ways than we can know anyone else.

Through the blood of Christ, God has made himself more available and nearer to us than we

have yet to discover.
