Come And Rest (1 of 6)
Series: The ''Invitation From God''
Dennis Marquardt

We are a tired nation, living in both physical and soulish exhaustion, but the good news is that God has an invitation: ''COME AND REST!'' This is first message in a new series entitled: ''The Invitation from God'' series. Such messages as ''Come and see,' ...
