Sermon Theme
“Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today.
“Tell my people to move on.”
“Moses answered the people, “Do not be afraid. Stand firm and you will see the deliverance the LORD will bring you today. The Egyptians you see today you will never see again. The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still.” Then the LORD said to Moses, “Why are you crying out to me? Tell the Israelites to move on.”
I greet you in the name of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ, trusting and knowing that the God who we serve is a powerful and faithful God who is always in control, praise the Lord! I pray that everyone is well and responsibly taking the proper precautions to safeguard the family and those around us. This “new” reality teaches us how dependent we are to each other and how what we do affects so many other people…So its up to God’s people to set an example of care and obedience as we look to eradicate this virus.
Because the redeemed know “where their help comes from”, its also up to us to proclaim a clear and powerful message of hope and salvation. Its about you and me believing and living God’s promises in the midst of difficult moments. The above-mentioned Scripture tells us that the Israelites were facing a crucial moment of crisis and pain. They were on the verge of either drowning in the Red Sea or being killed by the Egyptian army. Many of them in their despair cursed at being in the situation, others played the blame game, and others felt that God had forsaken them. Moises, in turn, did what we have to do in the midst of troubled times! He came before the presence of the living God, and God answered! (as he always does…)
As we live in these uncertain and trying times, the church must do as Moises did; COME TO THE PRESENCE OF GOD in prayer and praise. We do so because God answers and acts on our behalf! It’s interesting that God doesn’t tell them how he was going to solve the situation, he just told them to “move on”. We don’t know how God is dealing with this COVID 19 crisis, but what we do know is that the Church must “MOVE ON…MOVE FORWARD” in the name of our Savior! WE lift our voices to speak hope, assurance, and strength! We live out the love of God who assures us our victory!
During this season of Lent, “giving something up” has taken a totally new reality…we have given up our routines. As a church we have given up our “Walk with Jesus” activity, we won’t have Movie night, and Sunday’s worship is no longer in person. BUT we will MOVE FORWARD!! We will continue to be in fellowship by holding worship and Bible study via Zoom, we will text, email, and call each other, and we will pray and praise without ceasing. I invite you to experience the joy of the Lord under different circumstances for God is the same forever.
Join us on Sunday at 10:00am, and on Wednesday at 7:00pm for worship and Bible study. Meditate on the Word… stay tuned to our emails and share words of encouragement and inspiration with each other. The Israelites crossed the Red Sea as a testimony of God’s power and promise and reached the Promised Land. We, too, will overcome the COVID 19 crisis in the name of Jesus, and we too, will reach our “promised land!”
CLAIM IT, PROCLAIM IT, AND LIVE IT!
