Dwell
The Sanctuary and the Heart of God
There’s a gap between where you are and where you want to be.
We’re all on our way somewhere—to happiness, success, romance, adrenaline, wealth,
or whatever it is we want. But what if what we’re looking for—the culmination of our desires—is
found in the presence of the God who made us?
We just need to find our way there.
There’s an ancient way to a new life
In a world of algorithms and AI, it’s hard to know what’s real and which way will take us where we want to go. Even within Christianity, confusion abounds. What if the truth is in an ancient path depicted in the sanctuary?
Dwell
The Sanctuary and the Heart of God
The sanctuary is more than a doctrine to get right. It shows us how God will provide healing, transparency, accountability, justice, forgiveness, mercy, and, ultimately, His presence. Join us for a 10-part series on the sanctuary and God’s heart.
