Hi Church,
These are unprecedented times. But for us, as believers, they are not uncertain times. So much of the world is based on shifting sand but our lives are built on the solid rock of who Jesus is. Our lives are in His hands. He’s our protection, our strong tower, our refuge and our very present help in time of need.
If you weren’t able to be with us on Sunday when we gathered as households from right across the region to pray, to worship and to get into God’s Word together online then I encourage you to watch the message about how we can build our lives on a foundation that can never be shaken which can be found by clicking here.
There’s also a whole load of children’s and youth resources that we’ve made available for you to use at this time and we’ll continue to post these until we’re able to meet together again. Visit www.kf.church/online to check these out.
Never forget - there is no name higher than the name of Jesus. Let’s make sure we are spending time everyday worshipping God and exalting the name of Jesus over our lives, our homes, our workplaces, our towns and the nation. If you haven’t been doing so already use Psalm 91 as a basis for your declarations of God’s protection and faithfulness.
Last Thursday we had a day of prayer and fasting for our nation and we’re encouraging everyone in the Church to continue to pray and use the prayer pointers from that day over the coming days and weeks which you can find by clicking here.
It’s so important that we’re getting into the Word at this time as well. His Word is our foundation - it gives us strength and hope and releases faith to see the seemingly impossible take place. Desperate times call for a faith-filled people. We, as the family of believers, are those people.
Let’s also be wise when we watch or read the news reports - it’s good to keep updated with what’s going on and not be ignorant. We must follow the government’s advice at all times. But we need to be careful not to allow the spirit of fear to come over us and rob us of our peace. Jesus said: “Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in Me.” (John 14:1)
There’s no denying that there are challenging times ahead, but it’s so reassuring to know that God is with us and that we can place our trust and our hope in His unfailing love. We’re working hard behind the scenes looking at different ways we can keep you informed with some of the things that God has been speaking about and how we can stay connected in different ways - so keep an eye on the website and social media for all the latest news.
We’re praying for you, we love you and we can’t wait to see you all again soon.
