After congregational hymns, our Sarah sang, “Oceans”. One line in this song says, “Spirit lead me where my trust is without borders”. Powerful request. Bro Tommy’s message was titled “Building a good house”. Scripture referenced, Luke 6. These scriptures are about the need to dig deep and find a firm foundation to build a sturdy house upon. If we are wise we make every effort to dig through the useless debris in our own lives, removing the things that lie between us and a firm relationship with Christ. Get rid of pride, prejudices, desires of the flesh. Storms are inevitable. Build your life upon the rock, a firm foundation. Your house will withstand the storms. During our evening service, Bro Tommy again spoke of foundations. Scripture referenced, Deuteronomy 32. Our God is the Rock of our salvation. He gives life, saves us, and is the source of all we need. He is perfect in His work and He finishes what He starts. We are complete in Him.

The people at Saint Paul’s join everyone else in praying for the sick, the departed, and those who mourn, and for the protection of the heroes who protect and heal us all.
