Preaching Goes Viral

Growing in Faith (during the Pandemic)

Silver lining: Blessed, grateful, or upbeat about the pandemic

The Lord says, do not worry about your life. Do not worry about your life. Why? Because first of all, your life is a gift given to you. By God, you cannot control it. You can't control what happens. You can't control when you're born. You can't control. When you get sick, you can't control when you die. And this life is fleeting and the greatest scheme of things, but those who put their trust in Christ have a singular perspective on what their life is. Follow me here. Those who believe in God are much different than what Christ says right? At the end of this gospel, he says, for all these things, the Gentiles seek for your heavenly father knows that you need all these things for all these things, the Gentiles seek. What, what is Christ saying? They're Gentiles, pagans. Those who don't believe in God, those who don't believe in the God as the creator, as the provider, as the sustainer, as the giver of life, as the Teicher of life. As the beginning, as the end, as the alpha, as the Omega, they don't believe in God, but you do you believe that he is the one who gives life. You are the one who believes that life is a gift. That life is lived in a way that puts your trust in God, himself. So st Paul says on the same theme, you will have trouble in your life.
