Final Appeal (41 of 41)
Series: The Unveiling
Jerry Watts
Revelation 22:6-21
• Reading the last recorded words of the Bible, I am reminded of God's infinite patience with as well as His effort and desire to bring His salvation to mankind.

Is it safe to assume you would be a little 'passionate' in your appeal before and to them?
