Dear Covenant family,

 

‘I keep asking that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the glorious Father, may give you the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that you may know him better. I pray also that the eyes of your heart may be enlightened that you may know the hope to which he has called you’ – Eph 1:17,18

 

It’s time for a heart-warming subject in this cold weather, so let’s continue our series: ‘Build your House on the Rock’. We have said So Long to: Insecurity (week 1),  Condemnation (wk 2) and Selfishness (last week). This Sunday we will say ‘so long’ to ‘hopelessness’. You can find hopelessness in many shapes and forms in our society today, but it often boils down to a life without the Presence, Hope and Power of Christ. Experiencing Him in your life makes all the difference, for nothing is impossible with God! He wants to make your life Rock Solid! Look forward to see you Sunday.
