As I write this, our world is reeling from a lethal outbreak of a new coronavirus (COVID-19) for which there is not yet a vaccine. In just a few months it has spread from a dozen cases in China to tens of thousands across continents, and the numbers are expected to rise. Governments are restricting travel, banning large gatherings, closing businesses, and shutting schools. Stock markets have tanked.
It’s a scary time. And uncertain time. So what do we do?

Two Questions to Ask When Fear Grips Your Heart

Jesus provides the answers to our fear!
