On Sunday morning the attendance was good with visitors. Our prayer is they will always receive a blessing by coming and will want to come worship with us again. The call to worship “Draw me nearer,” by the choir; special music was “Instead of Me,” by Annette Duren. Bro. Ron’s message, “Story of Redemption,” Ephesians 1 and other scriptures. Jesus Christ is the person of redemption, all born again believers will possess redemption. Jesus paid price of redemption, took our place for our sins with His blood, this was and is the perfect sacrifice. All in Him have redemption; anyone can be in Him by only believing. Salvation is a gift we need to share with others.
