    “This is a God worth knowing. Who wouldn’t serve a God like this?” Now that’s an altar call worth answering.

    At the end of this sermon, I exhaled and hadn’t even realized that I was holding my breath. I shouted without you shouting me all up in my inward parts.This answered some questions for me. I heard so much Gospel from an Old Testament sermon. I thank God for this experience. I’m still in a place of breath and I know that it is the Spirit. My my my! I’m done. God bless.
