Summary
As we continue our week on God’s longing to be encountered, today we’ll dig deeper into how he desires for us to know his truth. God has given us everything we need to walk in his truth and ways this side of heaven. As we look to Jesus as our model, may we be filled with courage and light to love not just in word but in deed and truth.
Our Scripture for today comes from John 8:32, and today's worship is The Way (New Horizon) by Pat Barrett.
________
Last year felt like a wilderness and a desert in many ways. Yet in the midst of the fear, unrest, and anxiety, God moved. In fact, during 2020, over half a million men and women joined the First15 community!
With all this growth, we need financial help to propel forward the mission to guide believers all around the world to experience God the first 15 minutes of their day. We’ve set a goal of seeing 221 new monthly donors come on board this first month of 2021. And we want to invite you to give your first gift as a First15 monthly partner today.

| 0:55.0 | In the truth, and the truth will set you free. In the incredible, abundant blessings of Scripture and the Holy Spirit, God has demonstrated |
| 1:02.0 | his longing for us to know truth. Truth is a powerful weapon against the schemes of the enemy. Truth has an ability to bestow confidence |
| 1:13.2 | and freedom on all who find their satisfaction in it. And truth in the eyes of God is completely |
| 1:20.7 | founded in relationship with the person of Jesus Christ. May God grant us a hunger for truth that is deeply satisfied in communion with |
| 1:31.3 | our loving Savior today. Everything God is and does is truth personified. There is no lie or deceit |
