Quarantined: Day 28
Many things are changing around us. As some of us return to work and some of those same things we did before quarantine, we need to be cautious of things we didn’t need to before. But one thing that has stayed the same is what we are called to do as followers of Jesus, and that is to continue to spread the Gospel, not for our own sake but for everyone’s lives to be changed. Take a listen to this recording…
Quarantined: Day 23
It’s hard to believe sometimes that we are going to see the other side of everything that is happening in the world around us. When I still hear the negative things still going on, it’s difficult to see the good in what’s happening. Scripture gives us an account of when the Israelites were wandering in the wilderness and the promise that God has for them in the Promised Land but they needed to travel on the journey to get there.…
Quarantined: Day 18
As followers of Jesus, we know the truths of Romans 8:31-39, but at times it is hard to believe them. Life happens to all of us, and we are told lies that go against the things God says we are.

Quarantined: Day 13

This time of quarantine has forced me to STOP, something that I wouldn’t be able to do in my normal routine. I believe this…
Quarantined: Day 8
One of the things that I love about worship is the ability to sing songs of praise that remind us of the characteristics of God and what God is doing in our lives. There have been times in my life where I have felt stuck. During those times, it is difficult to see God at work, and quarantine has been one of those times for me. The song, Spirit Break Out, helps me put words in my mouth and my heart…
Quarantined Day 3
This song is one that we have sung many times in our modern service. Sometimes the songs we sing can become repetitive, and that changes our response to them. Recently, I have been listening to the same worship music I usually do, but God is speaking in new ways through it in light of this season of quarantine. He is encouraging me to think outside of myself and toward my neighbors and those that I don’t even know. In life,…
