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

  Weekend Gospel message to follow for All Hands (09-11OCT20) 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: GOD tells us that His people are ACCEPTED IN CHRIST (Ephesians 1:6) .

We must see the efficacy of His atoning blood to purge a guilty conscience; the blessedness of His obedience to justify a needy, naked soul; the sweetness of His dying love as an inward balm and cor...
