    Sensing God - Smell Series

    Contributed by Allan Quak on Jan 18, 2018
     | 9,615 views

    This sermon is the last in a series which considers the five senses and how our senses help us in our relationship with God. In this message we see that we can be a pleasing aroma to God and the calling we have to be an aroma to the world.

You can be asleep and then, if someone loves you enough to make it for you, the smell is able to wake you up. This is fantastic. What a great way to ...read more
