Title: God's Omnipotence
Author: J. Gerald Harris
Text: Psalm 139:13-18
How would you respond if God were to appear in this room right now? Would you run, hide, stand up, bow down, sing, shout, celebrate or die of shock?

In the second message on this Psalm, we spoke about God's omnipresence. We mentioned that he can be everywhere at the same time and that neither death, distance nor darkness can hide us from Him presence. And ...
