REPLAY SUNDAY

Greater than all our troubles

Read: Hebrews 11:32-40
Listen to the Message
In our first church service back together since Covid-19 lockdown, we continue our series Jesus is Greater.
Rev John Malcolm brings a message of hope and assurance in the face of trouble and uncertainty.
The story is told of a little seaside town where the fog was sometimes so thick that ships were prevented from making it safely into port. The townsfolk decided to build a lighthouse. On the day that the lighthouse was finished, they celebrated with bands playing, bells ringing, and trumpets sounding. The mayor cut a ribbon to inaugurate the lighthouse. That night, a huge fog descended once again. Two visitors who had attended the ceremony said to each other, “The light shines, the bells ring, the horns blow, but the fog comes in just the same.” They missed the point. The lighthouse was never intended to keep the fog from coming in. It was designed to guide ships safely into harbour, through the fog. The Son of God came not to keep the fog from descending but to help the human heart see through the fog. (Ravi Zacharias, Seeing Jesus from the East)

Jesus is greater than Covid-19, greater than the uncertainties and troubles in our world, and greater than all the hardships and trials we face. He will lead, guide and hold us during these difficult times.
