Façade

FIRST15
About this episode

In day 2 of our series on honesty, today we’re going to look at the temptation to build a façade and invite God to tear it down as we seek to live more honestly. May God show you how loved you are, just as you are. And may his love bring you freedom and life as we rest in his presence right now.

Our Scripture for today comes from Matthew 23:27, and today's worship is Heart, Soul, Blood, Bone by Chris Renzema.
