Bridge Over Troubled Water
Pastor Cathy
Visitors to the Grand Canyon all find themselves saying the same thing: "This is really big!" The towering walls of the canyon separated by several miles take our breath away. One of the seven wonders of the world, the canyon is about 227 miles long, 18 miles wide, and is 5,000 miles deep.
Have there been times when you felt separated from God, as if God were standing on one side of the Grand Canyon and miles and miles divided you?
This Sunday's scripture from Romans 8:31-39 proclaims "nothing can separate us from the love of God in Christ Jesus our Lord." How is that possible?
