Why did they get down to so few? Sometimes it was because God’s people were oppressed by the forces of empire – and many were killed (Is. 10, Rev. 12). This is martyrdom. Sometimes it was because God’s people were feared for their numbers or strength or influence – and they were driven apart in different directions (Is. 37). This is exile. Sometimes it was because God’s people became apostate, a far cry from apostolic (Mt. 24). That is, they left the faith and turned to something else, leaving their brothers and sisters behind (Mal. 3, Rom. 11). Being one of the faithful few is biblical, and tough. This summer, we will look at why we are chosen to be a remnant, who gets chosen to be a remnant, and how to be a faithful remnant. We seek to learn the scriptural wisdom to remain a strong light during a time of small gatherings. Please be sure and join us during worship this summer for this 8-week series as we learn about the place we find ourselves – so that we may move forward in joy and in hope and in faithfulness, knowing God has been this way before. I am glad to be walking this journey with you. Karen
