When we sin, we do things like choose anger, pride, greed, lust and to be selfish. All of these things are often the easy choice to make because these choices are quick fixes for holes that we feel inside of our hearts, holes that are unsatisfied desires, or wounded desires. Desires to be chosen to be heard and understood. All of these desires are written on every human heart, and God would not have made us this way if He couldn't fulfill those desires. That's what being in a relationship is, to be loved by the Father. To receive all that the Father is giving us and that we give it all back. This powerful and perfect exchange of love is what we were made for. 

We invite you to take part in season 1 of, Behold. A content series exploring our true identity as beloved sons and daughters of God, using the model of relationship identity, and mission. We begin with our relationship with God, which tells us what our true identity is and how our mission flows from that understanding. This model is what was revealed to us by Jesus, and prepares us and sends us out on a mission.
