"Salvation is of the LORD." -Jonah 2:9

Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (09-11NOV18) Heads-Up --- Please find enclosed encouragement in "SO GREAT SALVATION" by the perfect and finished work of our Lord Jesus Christ in saving poor, needy and wretched sinners by His sovereign free grace - God's unmerited favor - from their sins and from Hell: CHRIST OUR SUBSTITUTE "Pilate released...Barabbas unto them, and delivered Jesus, when he had scourged Him, to be crucified" (Mark 15:15). The guilty is set free and the Innocent is put to death. The great sinner is delivered and the Sinless One remains bound. Barabbas is spared, and Christ is crucified. This is the manner in which God justifies the ungodly. He does it because Christ has paid what they owe. He has suffered in their place, the Just for the unjust. They deserve punishment, but a mighty Substitute has suffered for them. They deserved eternal death, but a glorious Surety has died for them. We are all by natu
