Dear saints at Zion,
In this time where routines and plans are upset, our attention should be on the Word of God.
Please do note we post sermons and services online.

And God your Father has promised to hear every prayer made through Christ in faith, no matter where you are at. Use God's name well, whether at home, serving others, or church. "We should fear and love God so that we do not curse, swear, use satanic arts, lie, or deceive by His name, but call upon it in every trouble, pray, praise, and give thanks." Trust the Almighty Father to deliver you from death, for the sake of Jesus' suffering and victorious rising.
In peaceful and turbulent times, confidence in Christ, who rose from the dead, over our sins, is not optional for the Christian. May the Lord cause us in this time of humbling to focus on the one thing needful in this life--faith in Christ's strong promises.
Heavenly Father, move our nation, and all nations of the world, to repentance in this time of uncertainty and tragedy, that sinners would listen to your Word and serve you alone at all times. Grant us safety in this life, as we long for the holy life in Your Kingdom above, which you have given us in Jesus' Word. Amen.
in Christ,
Pastor Berndt and Pastor Hale
