Title: A Shaking Going On Series: Corona Virus Subject: How to Stand Firm

Text: Hebrews Ch. 12:26-29 Isaiah 40:28-31 Matthew 19:26, and Psalm 73:23-26, 28

(Pastor Curt) Today’s Message – A Shaking Going On it will have many parallels with our current on precedented Battle with Covid19. What a change since last Wednesday, 18 March service. Here in Michigan we had 19 cases and 2 fatalities; in just one week we went to 2,300 plus cases and 43 lives claimed. 1,200 % increase. As I told you last week we are heading to tough times; But we also see some encouraging things too. I see many folks taking time to be kind to each other. We even have people stopping by to ask for prayer for a family member impacted by the virus.

As a church we are reaching many times people than can even fit in our church. Last Wednesday est 182 people, Sunday 218 people and this Monday’s word of encouragement 324 people. Opening Prayer – Encouragement.

(Pastor Curt) My Morning devotion Psalm 73:23-26, 28

There is a shaking going on in the Land. What if there was an earthquake going on but you were in an Airplane flying above – what would your experience be like? Hebrews 12:26-29

(Lisa) So how shall we proceed! Some practical ways to not be shaken:

1. Turn off the TV – watch once a day

2. Turn on worship music and worship Him give thanks for His great love for you.

3. Get Outside away from others and go for a walk.

4. Have faith like a Child – Georgie asked Papa Bug that bites!

(Pastor Curt) Isaiah 40:28-31
