In Closing, I have a few questions this morning?

1. Do we praise the Lord?

2. Do we recognize that God is Holy?

3. Do we know that God is everywhere?

4. Also realize, that God knows everything about us this morning.

5. God knows your heart this morning.

6. God knows what you have been going though.

Gods Inviatation to you:

- God wants you to trust His Son as your savior

- God will forgive your sins!

- God wants to give you peace in your soul
