Today, Pastor Clayton helps us uncover what is the deepest desire of our hearts. When we discover that we long to be in deep relationship with Christ, we learn that we can best serve that connection by living sacrificially for others. Our journeys may be different, but we’d love for you to “come and see” what that might look like and do for your life.
