God loves you and has a wonderful PLAN for your life.

For God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish but have

everlasting life. John 3:16

The PROBLEM is we SIN.For all have sinned and fall short of the

glory of God. Romans 3:23

The PENALTY for sin is SEPARATION from God.

For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 6:23

The PROVISION is our SAVIOR, Jesus Christ.For I delivered to you first of all that which I also received:

that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, and that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day

according to the Scriptures, and that He was seen...1 Corinthians 15:3-5a

The PROMISE is SALVATION.So they said, “Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ,

and you will be saved.” Acts 16:31

God's Gift to You

Sermon PassageNow after the Sabbath, as the first day of the week

began to dawn, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to see the tomb. And behold, there was a great earthquake; for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven, and came and rolled

back the stone from the door, and sat on it. His countenance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. And the guards shook for fear

of him, and became like dead men. But the angel answered and said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you seek Jesus who was crucified. He is not here; for He is risen, as He

said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay. And go quickly and tell His disciples that He is risen from the dead, and indeed He is going before

you into Galilee; there you will see Him. Behold, I have told you.” So they went out quickly from

the tomb with fear and great joy, and ran to bring His disciples word. And as they went to

tell His disciples, behold, Jesus met them, saying, “Rejoice!” So they came and held Him by the feet

and worshiped Him. Then Jesus said to them, “Do not be afraid. Go and tell My brethren to go

to Galilee, and there they will see Me.”Matthew 28:1-10
