Message for March 7, 2021 from Pastor Shirley

       Thus says the Lord: The people who survived the sword found grace in the wilderness.  Jeremiah 31:2

     Wilderness is much more than just a place. The wilderness is  an experience of life that we all pass through at one time or another.  It speaks of those times that we feel confused. overwhelmed, uncertain.  

    During one of the  difficult times in Paul’s life God spoke to him, “My grace (My favor and loving-kindness and mercy) is enough for you [sufficient against any danger and enables you to bear the trouble manfully]; for My strength and power are made perfect (fulfilled and completed) and show themselves most effective in [your] weakness. Therefore, I will all the more gladly glory in my weaknesses and infirmities, that the strength and power of Christ (the Messiah) may rest (yes, may pitch a tent over and dwell) upon me!  2 Corinthians 2:19

    May we be reminded today that in “all things and at all times” God’s grace is sufficient.
