David Cawston
1 Peter 1:3
Introduction:
Story of woman talking to the Pastor as she leaves Sunday Service on Easter. How come everytime I attend all you ever preach about is the Birth of the Lord or His death and resurrection.
Good news there are other things come next week!
Man's deepest concern is life!
