Dear Covenant family,
Call to Worship: When
Jesus saw him lie, and knew that he had been now a long time in that case, he said unto him, Wilt
thou be made whole? – John 5:6, KJV
What would you say to Brittany Maynard; the 29 year old
woman who made national headlines with her desire to end her life? What would
you say to the man at the pool who had been there for 38 years with no one to
help him, and no hope of every getting healed? What would Jesus say to your
neighbor, friend or family member who have given up all hope of ever ‘walking
again’? What would Jesus say to you when you feel hopeless, discouraged and
like giving up? After showing us this past Sunday the expansive power of faith
at work in the hearts of individuals, John continues by teaching us how Christ
operates in our hearts as He asks us one simple question: “Do you want to be
made whole?” Come and find out this Sunday how that question can have a
profound impact on your life and as we cast our nets: the lives of others!
