Signposts, Part 1

There’s a big difference between knowing about someone and actually knowing them—and the same is true for God. Many of us can list facts about Him, but has that knowledge transformed our lives? In this message, we explore how Jesus revealed Himself through powerful “signposts”—miracles and statements that help us move from head knowledge to a deep, personal relationship with Him.
