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.

Recent Sermons

  • Jesus Christ Is The King Who’s Come. The Kingdom’s Here; He Is The Sum, Yet Still There’s More To Save Us From. Into His image We’ll Become, Christ Died For Evil, Wicked Scum, Then Rose All Sin To Overcome. He Saves From All Our Sinful Slum; By Faith Alone We’re His And Numb To All The Sin He Saved Us From. Now To His Will With Joy Succumb, As We Await His Kingdom Come!
    Joseph Randall, April 11, 2021
  • Jesus Is The Life And The Whole World’s Resurrection, And Even Though We Die We’ll Live In His Protection; For He’s The Holy God-Man Who Walked In Pure Perfection, Yet Took God’s Wrath And Curse Bearing Hell’s Utter Rejection, Then Rose Alive Today Bringing Death Into Subjection. Forever Death Is Dead And Our Lives Have New Direction. By Faith Alone In Him We’re Just With Righteousness Connection, And Live Our Lives For Him To Every Sin Making Objection. All Of This We Have From God’s Love And His Election, For Jesus Died And Rose – God’s Glorified Reflection; And Now He Owns Our Love, We Praise His Name With All Affection!

  • The Atonement
    Joseph Randall, April 2, 2021
  • Christ Hallowed God The Father’s Name; For This Main Purpose Jesus Came. No Other Man Has Lived The Same; His Life A Burning Holy Flame, Making Known God’s Beauty Fame, And Though He’s Perfect Without Shame, In Our Place God’s Wrath Would Maim. He Died And Rose To Take Our Blame; All Evil He Will Finally Tame. By Faith We’re Righteous Made The Same; By Father Owned, He Did Reclaim, So Now His Glory Is Our Aim. Oh Father, Hallow Your Great Name. Forever You We Shall Proclaim!
