Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (19-21APR19) 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: "The gifts of liberty and freedom we enjoy make us all the more accountable to God.
