"For we walk by faith, not by sight." 2 Cor. 5:7
As a people belonging to God, we are on a different spiritual plane. We are not moved by what we see, feel, or hear. We operate by faith - in the realm of God's supernatural presence and power. Next Sunday, I'll be talking about this power that is available for every believer. We will continue our journey with the Apostle Peter - how his life was radically transformed by God. We will jump from the Gospels to the exciting book of Acts!
I just have one thing:
Please continue to pray for all of our families in Faith Family Worship Center and beyond the church. We are not out of the woods yet and we cannot relax our guard. Luke 18:1 tells us that we should always pray and not give up. Pray for families affected by the virus, for our healthcare workers especially in long-term care facilities where majority of the cases and fatalities are occurring. 186 of long term care facilities in 22 counties reported at least one case. At least 1,860 cases can be tied to nursing homes, with 286 deaths - that's nearly a fourth of all coronavirus deaths reported in Illinois (source: Chicago Tribune).
Please stay safe. Go out only for necessary and essential travels. Wear your masks. Check in on the others. There is power in simply being present for someone. The church is here for you. Let us know if you ever need any help.
