Mercy Ministry

“Only, they asked us to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.” Galatians 2:10

Worldwide, about 16,000 children die daily from food related issues. And they need Jesus. How will you spend your life and money?

About 1 million babies are killed every year in America by abortion.

Please pray that God would show us how to get involved in showing mercy to our community and to the world for His glory, for the salvation of lost souls, and for the good of our neighbors’ physical needs.

Please pray we would obey James 1:27: “Religion that is pure and undefiled before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.”

Please pray that we would “care about all suffering around us, especially eternal suffering” – John Piper

Hear this excellent word about true worship and how much more blessed it is to give than to receive.

Please listen to this excellent sermon on Christian giving and on using your resources to glorify God!

Some Mercy Ministries At Our Church

Bread Of Life

Lord willing, on Tuesday’s at 9am, we hand out free food in the name of Jesus to our community in front of the church building and seek to tell them about the Living Bread Who alone satisfies forever, the Lord Jesus Christ!

On Friday mornings, we hand out free food and provide the same ministry at Park Avenue and Tabor Road.

Rescue Babies For Jesus

Lord willing, every Friday we will meet at the church building at 8:15am (we’ll be back by 11:00am). We’ll go to the abortion mill near Broad and Olney (at Park and Tabor) in order to pray, protest, and plead with men and women not to kill their babies and offer them alternatives like adoption.

We will also seek to tell everyone present the Gospel of Jesus Christ in love and humility.

  • Christ Loved His Enemies Though We Hate, And Turned From God Like Reprobate; In This Is Love He’d Demonstrate, The Wrath Of God In Fullest Weight; Would Fall On Christ To Devastate. He Died For Sinners Rose Up Great, To Change Our Hearts And Kill Our Hate, By Faith Alone New Life Create, And In His Love We Satiate. Now Love Like Him Who’d Liberate, Our Perfect Father Imitate, Who Loves The Good And Bad Who Hate!

  • Christ Gave Us More Than Tooth And Eye; God’s Perfect Justice Magnify. We Take And Take “For Me!” We Cry, But He Gave All For Sinners Die, And Bore God’s Wrath Forsaken Why; So It Is Finished Risen High. Now Death Shall No More Terrify, By Faith Alone He’ll Justify. Our Heart’s He’ll Change And Purify; All Selfishness We’ll Crucify, To Give And Give And Glorify. Our God Alone Will Satisfy!
    Joseph Randall, February 7, 2021
  • Jesus Spoke What’s Good And True. He Is The Truth; The God-Man Jew, Who Lived And Spoke Like No One Knew; And Our God Swore To Send Him To, Bear God’s Wrath For Me And You. He Died To Hell And Sin Undue, But Now He’s Risen; Death Is Through. By Faith Alone We’re All Made New; Reflecting God In All We Do. We Tell The Truth And Lies Subdue; In All His Glory We Pursue!

  • Christ Will Never Divorce His Bride. He Loved And Served And For Her Died, Then Rose Ensuring She’d Abide, In Him Forever By His Side; So When We Marry He’s Our Guide, By Faith Alone We’re Justified, And Selfish Pride Is Mortified, So Husbands Never Leave Your Bride; And Wives Be Faithful Don’t Divide. In This The Christ Is Glorified, His Name Be Praised By All Worldwide!
