Sunday Worship - August 2, 2020 
Romans 9:1-5, Genesis 32:22-32
Pastor Steve Johnson - "Who Are You?"
Recorded live at 10:50 worship 

I don't know about you, but I am sick and tired of the coronavirus and it's effects on our lives.  I am disheartened when I hear the daily recitation of the death count and increase in positive test results. I get anxious concerning the uncertainties about reopening church activities and schools, especially our church's preschool and kindergarten. I feel frustrated that I can't carry out my ministry more fully because of prohibitions on visiting hospitals and nursing homes. Now health officials are predicting the pandemic will continue into 2021.
One of the themes of the Bible is perseverance. That word is often used to encourage people in times of hardship and persecution. Although our circumstances are different than those facing the early Christians, we also need to persevere as the virus continues to spread on and on and on.  So hang in there and heed these words from Romans 15:4-6 (NASB):
"For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. Now may the God who gives perseverance and encouragement grant you to be of the same mind with one another according to Christ Jesus; that with one accord you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ."
