With the “Stay at Home” order that is now in effect for San Antonio, the worship service at ERCC on Sunday, March 29th will ONLY be available online.  A live stream of an entire service will be offered via the internet.  Do not come to the church on Sunday.  Obey the direction to stay at home, but watch the service live via the internet. During the city’s stay at home order, this is the only way churches are allowed to present a service.

Last Sunday we were only able to present Phillip’s sermon, but we now have the license required to include music in our live stream, so the plan is to present a “normal” worship service, as much as practical. The only thing missing will be ya’ll!

The link for the live stream will be posted shortly before 10:00 am on Sunday at:  facebook.com/erccsa

The service will include the ‘Lords Supper”, so if you desire to participate you must provide the communion elements yourself.  A small piece of bread or cracker, and a small cup with grape juice, or whatever you have is fine.  Although physically separated from your ERCC brothers and sisters, you can still participate at the same time with them during this special portion of our worship service.

Also, since we won’t be able to accept your tithes and offerings at the church, giving online using the “Tithely” program is an excellent option you’re encouraged to consider.   You can check out those methods under the “Giving Methods” option on the menu above. 

Check our website (www.eversroadchristianchurch.org) for any updates during the week and please consider subscribing to our text message program to receive ERCC news directly on your smart phone.  See the Text Message menu option above to subscribe.

With all the over-talking about COVID-19, let me point you to the Word of God for some thoughts that are much needed today.

These are uncertain times, aren’t they? The Bible records many times when the nation of Israel or Judah were in such uncertainty that they doubted they would survive. One such time was during the life time of Habakkuk. He lived through the invasion of Judah by the Babylonians. He knew the godlessness of the Kingdom of Judah and he knew they were being punished for their disobedience to the Law of Moses. Evil was simply overwhelming in his day. So, Habakkuk takes the peoples’ questions to God about “Why?”

The book ends with what I consider one of the most memorable statements of faith in God in the entire Bible. Here it is:

Yet I will wait patiently for the day of calamity to come on the nation invading us. Though the fig tree does not bud and there are no grapes on the vines, thought the olive crop fails and the fields produce no food, though there are no sheep in the pen and no cattle in the stalls, yet I will rejoice in the Lord, I will be joyful in God my Savior.   Habakkuk 3:16b-18

God rarely explains the “Why?” of what he is doing. But He always encourages his people to trust him, not what they can see. It would seem to be a lesson designed for us today. We cannot see the future, but by faith we can see Him who holds the whole world and all of time in His hands. People of faith trust the loving Father more than they trust their understanding of the events around them. That sounds like a good idea for us today, doesn’t it?
