Contagious Hope
When our world is shaken, it’s easy for fear to spread. But God promises to be with us no matter what comes our way. In times of uncertainty, it’s more important than ever to trust who God is and how He says we can live — CONTAGIOUS HOPE. These messages created specifically in March 2020 - address concerns about the spread of Coronavirus (COVID-19).

02. PEOPLE DON’T NEED A MESSAGE, THEY NEED AN ENCOUNTER
1 THESSALONIANS 1:5a For when we brought you the Good News, it was not only with words but also with power, for the Holy Spirit gave you full assurance that what we said was true.

03. THE GOSPEL IS CONTAGIOUS
1 THESSALONIANS 1:8-10 And now the word of the Lord is ringing out from you to people everywhere, even beyond Macedonia and Achaia, for wherever we go we find people telling us about your faith in God. We don’t need to tell them about it, for they keep talking about the wonderful welcome you gave us and how you turned away from idols to serve the living and true God. And they speak of how you are looking forward to the coming of God’s Son from heaven—Jesus, whom God raised from the dead. He is the One who has rescued us from the terrors of the coming judgment.

BIG QUESTION: Is what I’m carrying worth catching?
QUOTE: Our life should speak louder than our words. And people really don’t care how much we know…they want to know how much we care.
