This week was our first week of live streaming our service due to COVID-19. We made changes to the service to better accomodate the live stream format by only including three songs. And those songs sounded so great on the recording that we've included them on the podcast. Skip forward to the 18:40 mark if you want to just listen to the sermon.
Throughout history, the Church has stepped into the disasters and epidemics of the day to serve and minister to those who are suffering and their loved ones. By doing this, Christians demonstrated that they understood the teachings of Christ when He spoke of the the good Samaritan or of ministering to the "least of these."
And now here we are Church. Will we step into our moment of history to love and minister to those who are out of work, in fear of dying, suffering from the loss of a loved one? Will future generations look back on what we do now and take encouragement from it?
