The Covid 19 Pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges for people and our society. But how we choose to respond to it all as a Christian is key. Today on Sound Doctrine we’ll learn that it’s time to sing, pray and give it to the Lord. That’s the sort of reaction Paul and Silas had to their deep, dark, painful trial.

The same holds true for us today, in the middle of a Pandemic.
