Aim Higher2 Corinthians 5.9

Synopsis: God expects you to be aiming in your life to please Him. What is your goal? Part of the reason we sometimes fail to serve God is because of sin and fear. Setting these aside, we must aim higher in our holiness and service. (Based in part on “Do Hard Things” by Alex and Brent Harris.)

“Let all that you do be done with love.”
