The Heart. That mysterious core of humanity.
Our hearts guide our actions and drive our affections, holding within us the capacity for celebrated acts of kindness and yet, unimaginable evil. How are we to love God with all our hearts when our hearts need so much changing? Christian Life Conference 2010 will explore what Scripture says about how God renews the human heart, and what it means to have a heart for God.
Audio for the entire weekend is available here.
Live streaming for all sessions is available via UStream.
