Message from our preachers during quarantined - March 19th
Teachers
Lesson Summary
During the March 19 quarantine message, the teaching team at Linder Road Church of Christ acknowledged the pain of being apart while affirming the congregation’s continued spiritual unity. They explained that the elders had voted to suspend all in‑person Bible classes and worship services through March, with a review planned for the end of the month, and to extend this pause into early May. The leaders emphasized four pillars of connection: fervent prayer, daily Scripture reading—especially the Psalms—as a source of strength, active participation in care groups for mutual support, and regular worship through an online e‑assembly that would stream the Lord’s Supper, a brief sermon, and giving instructions. The message also called the congregation to maintain personal and family devotion, encouraging parents to set aside time for Bible study with their children and providing resources for youth engagement via emails, phone calls, teen “pin‑pals,” and a private Facebook group. Scripture references such as James 5:16 and Philippians 4:6‑7 were quoted to underline the power of prayer and the promise of God’s peace amid anxiety. The teachers concluded with heartfelt prayers and a reminder that God’s steadfast love never ceases.
Key Scriptures
The prayer of a righteous man can accomplish much.
Be anxious for nothing, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God. And the peace of God, which surpasses all comprehension, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.
