Messy Church – Loving Others Isn’t Easy
April 5, 2020
You know…months ago when we were planning and preparing to begin livestreaming our services, I was really excited about being able to use technology in this way to reach people. And don’t get me wrong, I’m still excited about it and incredibly grateful that God has given us the resources to make videos, stream services, and connect with one another through the internet. But having to do everything this way is hard. Really hard. We all miss the personal interaction, our community, our “people.” I know you feel the same way. When the circumstances of life are hard, it’s easy to become frustrated, anxious, and discontent.
The passage we’re looking at in 1 Corinthians this week is very timely. We’re in the second half of chapter 7, and the apostle Paul is writing to the Corinthian believers about this very subject…contentment. We don’t know for sure what crisis they were facing, but Paul refers to challenging circumstances in verse 26. Today, we face a global crisis; and Paul’s words of encouragement are just as important for us, in these times, as they were when he wrote them.
