This could be the church’s finest hour

• Katrina church was a shining light

• Self-sacrificial love of so many. Love in action

• This is global, not one city

• We have a similar opportunity

• People are troubled about their health

• Many are/will be affected economically, especially small businesses and others

• Some might be in touch with their human frailty

However we will need to have a heavenly perspective

• Ps 91, Ps 27:4-5, Ps 131

• I don’t believe that God’s protection is automatic

• In all three Psalms there is a pre-requisite that you are dwelling in the secret place, dwelling in the house the Lord, like a weaned child with its mother

• They all speak of a heart posture of intimacy with the Lord, as desire to be with Him, to know Him more

• We all know christians who are spirit-filled, Bible-believing but who can succumb to fear and anxiety like the rest of the world

• You get what you have faith for

Let us shine

• When people become fearful and feel threatened, they retreat into their own space. Don’t let our WE turn into a ME. Lets choose Love and Honour. Lets look out for each other, especially the elderly in our midst.

• Lets be in prayer

• Let’s be bold in Love. Ask God to give us opportunities to share the good news of Jesus. Let’s seize them as they come

• Lets figure out ways of meeting together in smaller groups. This is the time for those who are not in the connect groups to connect with a couple of other people on a regular basis.
