What Do You Want? | We Are: One Church | Week 2

Season 73, Ep. 2

What do you want? That sounds like a simple question, but what if our "wanter" is broken? Our biggest regrets are almost always tied to something we chased in the moment. Psalm 37 exposes how disordered and distorted desires leave us empty and eventually wreck us. The good news? God doesn't just tell us to want better things. As we learn to delight in Him, He reshapes our desires so that our wants become what we truly need. Guard your heart, take delight in the Lord, and discover what you were made to want.
