THE GOSPEL…
Romans 3:23 - For all have sinned
and fall short of the glory of God.
Romans 6:23 - For the wages of sin
is death but the gift of God is eternal
life through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Romans 5:8 - But God demonstrated
His love for us in this-that while we
were sinners, Christ died for us.
Romans: 10:9 - If you declare with
your mouth, “Jesus is Lord” and
believe in your heart that God raised
Him from the dead, you will be saved.
Ephesians 2:8-9 - For by grace are
you saved through faith and not of
yourselves. It is a gift from God, not
of works, lest any man should boast.
IF YOU HAVE QUESTIONS OR WOULD
LIKE TO DISCUSS YOUR RELATIONSHIP
WITH GOD, PLEASE CONTACT PASTOR
GARY, PASTOR JOE, OR CALL THE
CHURCH OFFICE.
