The Thing God Wants Most
Why did God create humans in the first place? What does he want from us? As we take a step back and view the Bible as one complete story, we’ll see a clear pattern emerging. God placed objects and illustrations all along the way to reveal his heart’s desire for his human imagers. Once you learn to see his ultimate intention, you won’t be able to unsee it, and it will change the way you think about yourself and the other people in your life! If you ever have trouble believing God loves you or if you struggle to see the best in others, this study is for you. As we fix our eyes on God’s desires instead of our own, we become free to participate in his kingdom-building project with joy.
