Last week, we experienced something which we never experienced before. For the first time in the history of SBC, we could not have Sunday worship service. Not only that, we had to cancel all church events until Thursday.

Despite all this, it was so wonderful ...

He crossed the Sea of Galilee and came on shore, where He was surrounded by a large crowd of people. News of Jesus’ teachings and healings was spreading, and people wanted to see Jesus. They wanted to learn from Him and be healed.
