Dear friends, do not believe every spirit, but test the spirits to see whether they are from God, because many false prophets have gone out into the world. 1 John 4:1
Dear friend,
I have to admit. I find it hard to wait for the gospel to have an effect.
I have made weekly visits to a local nursing home for the last four years (except for COVID). Another pastor did the same before me.
About a year and a half ago one couple asked me to provide funeral services. I had become their pastor.
This last week I shared the good news of the resurrection from the dead with their family and friends. They weren’t uncomfortable. I was just expressing a fairly new conviction - that people who believe in Jesus really do live eternally.
Christians bet all of eternity on the work of Jesus. It’s that bet we’ll consider these weeks - “The End”.
Whether you join me on-site or online, I look forward to worshiping with you.
We had about 35 in the 9:00 am service and about 7 in the 10:45 last week. If you'd like to keep the 10:45 service, this is the time to vote with your feet! If attendance remains low, we’ll cancel. There is plenty of space!
If you have any symptoms, please stay home.
If you have been within 6’ of someone with COVID for 15 minutes, please stay home.
Please respect others on-site and follow all guidelines, including mask-wearing.
