Jesus, I Want to See Lenten Study 2023
---
Allow Jesus to give you sight this Lent so you may see Him.
This Lent, a time of great grace that Jesus longs to give to us, we are asked this same question from the Gospel of Mark: “What do you want me to do for you?” Through this study, we answer Jesus with the blind man’s words and a humble request: “I want to see.”
Objectives
- To provide opportunities to encounter Jesus in personal prayer, growing in relationship with Him.
