Hessed's purpose
is to share Christ with as many people as possible through our singing,
our teaching, and our lives. We want to share the joy that we feel,
by being in Christ, with the world. We are excited to be Christians,
and we want to show that excitement in everything we do. Peter said:
-
"Praise be to the God and Father of our
Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us new birth into a
living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,
and into an inheritance that can never perish, spoil or fade--kept in
heaven for you, who through faith are shielded by God's power until
the coming of the salvation that is ready to be revealed in the last
time. In this you greatly rejoice, though now for a little while you
may have had to suffer grief in all kinds of trials. These have come
so that your faith--of greater worth than gold, which perishes even
though refined by fire--may be proved genuine and may result in
praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. Though you have
not seen him, you love him; and even though you do not see him now,
you believe in him and are filled with an inexpressible and glorious
joy, for you are receiving the goal of your faith, the salvation of
your souls." (I Peter 1: 3-9)
Our goal is to
show our "inexpressible joy" to others through our music, and that by
doing so, they might see Christ.
