Message for October 29, 2023 from Pastor Shirley

Trouble is no respecter of people. The people who lived in Bible times were no strangers to times of trouble. In our lives, we will experience times of trouble. Trouble comes to disturb the peace of God in our lives. Disturb means to interrupt the quiet, rest, peace-to interfere with; interrupt; or hinder.

I have heard the Holy Spirit say, “These are the days of refreshing in my presence. Don’t allow the troubles of this present time to envelop you as fog would cover the earth. For I will renew hope in my people so they will see beyond their present troubles. Take rest in me. The peace that I have given you will transcend over you and bring an assurance of good things I have already given you. So look up for surely you will overcome.

God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.  Psalm 46:1-3 

Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. Not as the world gives do I give to you. Let not your hearts be troubled, neither let them be afraid.  John 14:27
