An age-old platitude states, “If you’re not as close to God as you used to be, who moved?” The Bible teaches that we are the ones who determine the degree of intimacy we enjoy with God. In this message Dave looks at the people of Israel and what they teach us about how to draw closer to God.

Pursuit Lead Pastor, Paul Hatfield, began a message on what God has done for us through Jesus Christ. In this edition, Dave finishes the message and reminds us that the gift God has given through Jesus Christ is not deserved, cannot be earned, cannot be experienced through ritual or accomplished through activity or works. What has God done? He has given us the greatest gift ever given and it is perfect, it is complete, and it is free.

One of the greatest gifts we can give to God is to become the person he created us to be. To live the life we were intended to live. But how does one do that?
