In this sermon, the preacher emphasizes the importance of having goals in various aspects of life, such as personal, church, family, and business goals. He highlights that without goals, life can become frustrating and unfulfilling. The preacher shares an example of a church that had a goal to pay off all their debts, which they achieved, but then lacked further goals and eventually died out. The sermon then focuses on the invitation to draw near to God, emphasizing that our relationship with God can be as close as we desire, and that God will draw near to us when we draw near to Him. The preacher concludes by discussing the wonder of relationships and the possibility of having an even closer tie with God than John the beloved apostle.
