Summary
In the middle of our series on grace, we’re going to look at how experiencing God’s presence gives a truer, more heartfelt sense of God’s grace. As we begin, let’s set aside every burden, and simply be present with God today. And may our focus for the next few minutes empower us to experience to greater depths the grace-filled presence of our loving God.
Our Scripture for today comes from Numbers 6:25, and today's worship is Fill The Room by Maverick City feat Chandler Moore.
