THE COSMIC CONQUEST OF CHRIST
I Peter 3:18-22
I want you to listen to my words very closely this morning.
This is a passage of scripture I have been studying for several
weeks now. I told you two weeks ago that I was going to need
at least two weeks time on this passage of scripture. It now
appears now to me that what I really need is about two years time.
