Pastor's Monthly Message
October 2020
Here it comes! Fall in full swing. Chilly mornings. Leaves on the
mountain changing. The rhythm of life. It is nice to know some things never change. Our God who set the world into relationship with the heavens. The sun shining on us in the day and the moon light at night. The clouds still make their rain, the creeks and rivers still flow into lakes and oceans. The flowers still lift their colorful blooms and drop seed for the next year; when they shrivel and die. The world has not stood still. It continues to turn and orbit the sun spinning through the Milky Way. God is living and active in every large city, in every neighborhood, in every Country, City and Village. Yes and right here where we live. It is certainly a difficult time for us mere humans. There is a level of fear that I feel whenever I leave my house. Sometimes it is deep within me as I approach someone unmasked or someone who wants to stand too close to me.
I know my mind is never far away from Gods hand and voice; yet I still get anxious,
nervous, worried, apprehensive, uneasy and restless. I do not believe I am alone in having these feelings. Some of our relatives, friends and neighbors have lost jobs, businesses and even their lives. We are all in this together. This day please take time to reach out to someone who you haven’t been able to visit with for months. Brighten their day and yours with a message from
Isaiah 41:10 “So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.”
John 4:20 Whoever claims to love God yet hates a brother or sister is a liar. For whoever does not love their brother and sister, whom they have seen, cannot love God, whom they have not seen.”
Romans 8:38-39 “For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord.”
Gods rich and powerful love to you,
Pastor Corby
