Desired By The People Series

Contributed by Christopher Benfield on May 4, 2017

As Jesus' ministry grew in popularity, He often was forced to minister in the outlying areas to accommodate the crowds that gathered. The church needs to capture this passion and desire to be in the presence of the Lord.
