It's a call to radically seek and desire for the Holy Spirit to speak in our lives and submit to his leadership.

Zach Nash begins a new series on the character of Jesus and teaches about our ultimate privilege, knowing Jesus and being known by Him. He brings us into Matthew 7:21-23 to show us God is not interested in our works, but rather a deep personal relationship of knowing who we are.
