Episode 16: Worshiping Christ on the Way to Easter

“I believe that one good thing that is coming out of the COVID-19 crisis is that people are reconsidering what is truly important in life and this includes questions about God and what happens after we die. How can you be faithful in sharing Christ? What about generously helping families who are struggling financially? If God has given you more than you need, can you help others who don’t have enough? I know that many people have lost their jobs or had their incomes reduced and are now in need. Loving others like this are but a few ways that we can worship Jesus.”
