If you have your Bible, open up with me to Genesis chapter 2.

00:07

If you do not have a Bible, there is one in the seat, probably somewhere near or around you.

00:13

We have the Bibles are blue and the hymn books are red.

00:17

So if you see a blue Bible or a blue book, that's a Bible and you're welcome to use it while you're here.

00:25

And we're going to ask you to turn to Genesis chapter 2, verse 25.

00:28

And in a moment, we're going to stand and read it together.

00:34

Now we are all aware of the various life altering issues which have arisen in just the last few months.

00:42

The threat of a global pandemic has caused our entire economy to be damaged.

00:49

Shortages on goods have caused massive hoarding of essential items and many bare shelves.

00:56

Riots have broken out around the nation because of accusations of bias and systemic racism and privilege.

01:06

Riots have taken many lives, leaving untold billions in property damage.

01:12

And now, as the pandemic continues to threaten, the big issue has become the wearing of masks.

01:23

And the title of my message today is should Christians wear masks? But I must admit that this title was only intended to be provocative.

01:33

Because I'm not going to be talking about whether or not you should be wearing a face covering when you go to the store.

01:40

Our elders have discussed this.

01:42

We believe this is the decision that each of you must make on your own.

01:46

We are not demanding, neither are we discouraging the use of a mask in our building.

01:51

It's up to you.

01:52

So you're not going to have to sit for 45 minutes on a lecture as to whether or not you should wear a face covering.
