What kind of hearts do we need to have to reach those on the margins of society? And what is this “living water” that Jesus offers that can quench our deepest thirst?

Are you confused about what worship truly means? You're not alone. We often mistake an emotional experience or a specific ritual for authentic worship.

Learn to worship with a renewed heart and mind, and find a connection that goes far deeper than a Sunday service.
