CHURCH AT HOME
New Street Baptist Church — 22/03/2020
Today is the first Sunday where we have to do church from home. This morning we explore Isaiah 49:8–16 and the motherly love of God during tough and difficult times.
To help us worship we’ll use online videos which can help or encourage you today (press ‘c’ to get subtitles).
Romans 15:13 — May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Spend some time praying about the situation. SIM have put together some helpful prayer points to guide you here: Link to SIM

Today’s verse: The Restoration of Israel
8 Thus says the Lord: “In a time of favour I have answered you; in a day of salvation I have helped you; I will keep you band give you as a covenant to the people, to establish the land, to apportion the desolate heritages,
9 saying to the prisoners, ‘Come out,’ to those who are in darkness, ‘Appear.’ They shall feed along the ways; on all bare heights shall be their pasture;
10 they shall not hunger or thirst, neither scorching wind nor sun shall strike them, for he who has pity on them will lead them, and by springs of water will guide them.
11 And I will make all my mountains a road, and my highways shall be raised up.
12 Behold, these shall come from afar, and behold, these from the north and from the west, and these from the land of Syene.”
13 Sing for joy, O heavens, and exult, O earth; break forth, O mountains, into singing! For the Lord has comforted his people and will have compassion on his afflicted.
14 But Zion said, “The Lord has forsaken me; my Lord has forgotten me.”
15 “Can a woman forget her nursing child, that she should have no compassion on the son of her womb? Even these may forget, yet I will not forget you.
16 Behold, I have engraved you on the palms of my hands; your walls are continually before me.
