     | 5,109 views

    The results of the pandemic have affected so much around us. Many are living in fear instead of faith. The temptation to forsake public worship or assembling together is stronger today than I have experienced before.

    Is Church Attendance Important? There is a Pandemic! Hebrew 10:23-25 “Let us hold fast the profession of our faith without wavering; 24 And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works: 25 Not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but ...read more

    We are called to be faithful to God and obey him. Being faithful is the meaning of waiting for the Lord to come. There will be no second chances when Christ returns.

The Gospel readings for these last few weeks of the Season of Pentecost talk about what God’s judgement will be like. They ...read more
