Today we're going to check in with our 11th grade Sunday school teachers, Felicia, Jon, and Joyce -- and we did an online Q&A session for our students during this time of COVID-19.

Felicia: How can I evangelize/witness during this time of mandatory social distancing?

1. Social Media and Intentional conversations (Colossians 4:2-6)‬

- Social media posts 

- Conversations (seasoned with salt) 

- Listen and have compassion    

2. Home Life (Philippians 2:1-11)

- Showing Christ’s sacrificial love

Main Point: Share the hope and joy we have in Christ through what God has gifted us with (technology, more time, less distractions).

Jon: Why do we become disappointed? Putting our hopes in expectations that do not come to fruition.

1. What should define our greatest hope? Revelation 22:1-5 - fellowship with God and Christ.

2. How should we react when we are disappointed? Ephesians 2:10 - We are God's workmanship and hence, all results in life are God working in us for redemption and ultimately Rev. 22:1-5.

Joyce: How do I handle rejection from college?

- Personal example of how God is sovereign in our circumstances

- Inspired from the book Trusting God:

1. God is perfectly in control (Psalm 115:3, Colossians 1:16-17)

2. God works for good (Romans 8:28)

Main Idea: Find hope in trusting God (that failures and disappointments in life are still under His control and all part of His sovereign plan for our good and His glory).

On the latest episode of the Walnut Notes podcast, we go LIVE on Instagram with our English Worship Officer, Ray Tay.

We talk with Ray about why we're moving to video worship, how it was recording himself on video, how and why he chose the songs, how our congregation can use these videos, and our future plans for video worship.
