About this sermon

Italian culture is renowned for its beauty and elegance — luxury cars, extravagant attire, delicious food. And yet when the pursuit of pleasure is disconnected from God (whether you’re in Sicily or San Francisco), the pleasures disappoint and leave us empty. Hear from our global partner how Desiring God is helping him foster an experience of true, lasting joy for the Italian people. This work is fueled by the prayers and gifts of our ministry partners. Learn about partnering with Desiring God at https://give.desiringgod.org.
