The greatest commandment is to love the Lord your God
Life-changing days of social distancing to slow the spread of COVID-19 disrupts our lives and causes many of us to focus on our compassionate Lord
- We pray for an end to this pandemic according to God’s will and timing
- We praise God for the unchanging truth of the Bible
- We give thanks to God who provides our needs of body and soul

| You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Deuteronomy 6:5 ESV |
Peace is in Jesus who bore our sins on the cross.
So you also must consider yourselves dead to sin and alive to God in Christ Jesus. Romans 6:11 ESV
True love is Christ who is pleading God the Father’s mercy on behalf of sinful believers who confess and repent. Our Heavenly Father sees the work of His Son who died on the cross and rose on the
third day for all people. Those who believe are forgiven and granted
eternal life on the Last Day. Hearts of Christians are filled with thanksgiving and are moved to fight sin, love others, and share the Gospel. Mighty power of the Holy Spirit is given in faith to trust in the promises of Jesus. Patient endurance in suffering which God allows is worked in believers to help us grow in character and love. Our souls are filled with
hope through the Sacrament of Holy Baptism which calls all to live according to
God's will, renouncing the
devil and all his works and ways, and to
confess the faith in the one true Triune God.
And Jesus came and said to them, “All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. And behold, I am with you always, to the end of the age.” Matthew 28: 18-20 ESV
Knowledge of the Lord isn’t automatic—it must be learned and organized in high priority.
Church and school cancellations are set-up to protect people from the coronavirus. These changes effect how children and adults worship, learn, teach, and socialize. Like never before, it is important to dedicate time to be in
the Bible, listen, browse, and subscribe to resources…
I lift up my eyes to the hills; from where does my help come? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth. Psalm 121:1-2 ESV
