Superintendent Chuck Adams recognizes Spencer County High School Office Manager Stephanie Skinner, who received the Going the Distance Award for March.

The word “gospel” (Old English for God’s spell) literally means “the story of God.”  It is the good news.  It is the message of hope, of peace and of grace — the message of salvation.  In 1 Corinthians 15:1-4, the Apostle Paul outlines the three parts of the gospel: the death, the burial, and the resurrection of Jesus Christ (for more, read 2 Cor. 4:4, Eph. 1:13, Rom. 1:16). The gospel was first on the lips of our Lord when he began his ministry: “The kingdom of God is at hand, repent and believe the gospel.”
