Summary
As we focus this week on God’s radical desire to meet with his people, today we’ll explore his longing for us to know his love. There is nothing more transformative than encountering the love of God. It changes everything about us and our lives. Every one of us needs to be reminded of the depth of his love on a regular basis, and it’s my hope that today we can take some time to do so. May you never be the same again.
Our Scripture for today comes from Romans 8:37-39, and today's worship is Your Love is a Well by First15 Worship feat. Craig and Rachel Denison.
Want a more thriving relationship with God in 2022?
There’s a lot of talk every new year about resolving to do this and resolving to do that. But no lasting change ever comes from doing more or trying harder.
Real change… and experiencing a truly abundant life… only come from one place: connecting with God.
This is why Craig Denison wrote his book, Living Intentionally: Finding Meaning through a Modern Rule of Life. And it’s why we want to send you a copy today!
Craig wrote Living Intentionally to guide believers like you into a more thriving relationship with God. Because if your relationship with him is thriving, it invites you into a deeper, truer sense of abundant life no matter what life may bring.
