GOOD NEWS!

Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands ( 12-14 JUN20) 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 our sins and from Hell: “ The sinner who is enlightened to know himself, his wants, enemies, and dangers, will not dare to confide in anything short of an almighty arm; he needs a shepherd who is full of wisdom, full of care, full of power; able, like the sun, to shine upon millions at once, and possessed of those incommunicable attributes of Deity, omniscience and omnipresence. Such is our great Shepherd.” - preacher John Newton

Trust Christ!

Come guilty sinner to the Lord, May God now make you wise; For none can save but Christ alone, Do not the Son despise. CHORUS: Come and trust Him, Come and trust Him, Trust in Christ alone; None can save you, none can save you, None but Christ alone. O trust the mighty Savior Who Can save from sin and hell; He to the Father is the Way, In Him all mercies dwell. CHORUS: When on the cross of Calvary, Christ suffered, bled and died; The justice of a holy God, Was fully satisfied. CHORUS: ‘Tis not by works which we have done, That God is pacified; But by the death of Jesus Christ, That souls are justified. CHORUS: O what a Savior Jesus is, How suited to our case; Come to the Christ of Calvary, By faith the Lord embrace. CHORUS: -Tune: “ Only Trust Him ,” CM/Chorus Words by preacher Jim Byrd

First, the discovery to the conscience of Christ's imputed righteousness, in the way of justification; and secondly, the communication to the soul of a divine or righteous nature, whereby it brings forth the fruits of sincerity and uprightness before God. Both are to be followed after. But it may be asked, Why the first, if a man has a knowledge of his justification, and a sense of his acceptance with God? But may not a sense of interest in Jesus' glorious righteousness, and the inward testimony of the Spirit be lost in the enjoyment of them, or at least considerably diminished, for a time? We read [LUKE 15:8 ] of the woman who lost a piece of silver. Was there not a lighting of the candle, a sweeping of the house, and a diligent search into every corner till it was found again? The woman's piece of money was not really lost; it was still in the house; bu
