“Hope”
April 8, 2007
Pastor
Now, brothers,
I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on
which you have taken your stand. By this
gospel you are saved, if you hold firmly to the word I preached to you. Otherwise, you have believed in vain.
For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to
the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according
to the Scriptures.

the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has given us
