When Revival Comes (4 of 6)
Series: Let it Rain
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Luke 19:1-10
Well if you have your Bibles please turn to Luke chapter 19. Luke chapter 19, now as I was preparing this message the Lord impressed upon my heart a story from my childhood. When I was a kid growing up Thanksgiving time was a really special time for me personally.

I was with him one time and the bill, I think, was $75.00 and he your lucky day cause Harry is here." Harry is just that kinda of a guy.

So he would say the day after Thanksgiving "Hey Jeff any toy that you want let's go to the toy store and we'll get it." Now remember the fifth of six kids, my parents never said "Any toy you want" it would be like any toy your brother has that he's not playing with it anymore, that's yours. You know I mean ...
