Even before sin entered the world, which separated us from God, there was something missing from our lives. The first obstacle for God was not sin, it was man’s loneliness.

Where do you go to church in the middle of a global pandemic? The arrival of COVID-19 has disrupted school, work, and church routines around the world. Even as our fears grow, God is sovereign.
