A message from the series "COVID-19." At times in life we need to stop or at least pause. Maybe life has become too hurried, busy or stressful. Maybe we have over-committed or made things more complicated than they have to be. Maybe it is the virus, the snowstorm, or balancing work and home. It just becomes too much.
This can also apply to our spiritual lives. Perhaps we have gotten distracted, apathetic, too rigid, or overzealous. Perhaps we trying to be super-spiritual and at some point our faith stopped being a blessing and turned into a burden.
In the years leading up to the Babylonian exile Jeremiah came to understand that the true essence of religion was not based on the temple and all of the rituals which came with it. In this sermon Pastor Tim talks about that it is during these times of the global pandemic that we are reminded once again that faith is personal and the church is the people, not the place.
