    The sermon encourages believers to move beyond comfort, pursue spiritual growth, and press on with perseverance, relying on God’s grace rather than personal strength.

     | 6,219 views

    God still appears to us, and He still calls us in many ways. While it is hard to hear Him calling above the din of the world's chatter, He is calling, and He is visible for those who have eyes to see.
