Sermon for Easter Sunday
[Machine transcription] Christ is risen. He is risen indeed. In the name of Jesus. Amen. Dear Saints of God, death is not natural. It is not an inevitable part of living in this world.

[Machine transcription] For God so loved the world, that He gave His only Son, that whoever believes in Him should not perish, but have life eternal. You may be seated. In the name of Jesus, Amen.
