Resources that Encourage and Equip During the Coronavirus

Untitled design (1).png

Whether you are staying at home or having to venture out each day to perform essential work, our minds are filled with questions and our hearts with fears. Everyone is facing hard things in multitude of different ways. Interestingly, in the midst of this crisis and the challenges it brings, there seems to be an unending list of resources to help us face our challenges. So often, though, these resources inundate us and we have neither the time or the ability to know where to start. 

As a church, we are compiling a list of resources that we believe encourage and equip us as God’s people in the midst of this crisis. This list is by no means exhaustive and draws heavily upon the great work being done at The Gospel Coalition. Over the coming the weeks, we will add resources to this list and will plan to share some of them through our social media platforms. However, as helpful as these resources may be, they are insufficient to provide the foundation we need to live and thrive on a daily basis. For that sure foundation, we must turn to God and His Word. A steady diet of God’s Word and prayer won’t keep the coronavirus away, but it will sustain and nourish us in the midst of this crisis. We pray these resources don’t replace but rather serve that purpose.
