We live in a rapidly changing world, filled with challenges, trials and difficulties. At times this can feel unnerving or even overwhelming. But the Lord put us on this earth us for ‘such a time as this’ and in the midst of life’s storms says to us ‘do not let your heart be troubled’. The harder things get, the closer we are drawn to Him.
We will look at individual challenges that can rob our peace as well as global shakings which affect us all. The Lord is preparing His Bride as we move closer to the day of His return. He wants to strengthen, comfort and encourage us so that as the days get darker, we shine all the more brightly for Him.
We will pray together and also have some time for personal prayer ministry.
This event is free of charge and can be attended in person or via Zoom, but booking is required.
I have said these things to you, that in me you may have peace. In the world you will have tribulation. But take heart; I have overcome the world.
John 16:33, ESV
