I AM SECOND 2021: INTIMACY WITH GOD
What does intimacy with GOD look like?

“I’ve loved you the way my Father has loved me. Make yourselves at home in my love. If you keep my commands, you’ll remain intimately at home in my love. That’s what I’ve done—kept my Father’s commands and made myself at home in his love. –John 15:9-10 [Message]
