In the early church, on the day of the Lord’s resurrection, the apostles & disciples were shut-in, terrified & confused. Many things can turn a person’s faith into fear, but only the peace of God can keep us steady when crisis hits. The post resurrection greeting of the Lord is “Peace be with you.” This is a greeting only heard after the resurrection. In this COVID-19 crisis, we need to know that peace is with us. If you don’t have peace you will have a perverted faith called fear.

Thank you pastor for those very much uplifting Words of Hope and Trust in Christ. Faith is always put to the test in different forms through our life, and it’s easy to shift from faith to uncertainties because of our emotions, ex. someone who we much love very sick, passing, severe storms, accidents, life’s situations etc. so many, but the truth be told that we all shake, But God. and in my imperfect life, I’m guilty and asked for forgiveness and thank you. Great word. First Sunday without communion but received a great word.
