In considering how Jesus reached out to people and what was His manner, we must realize that first of all He was a servant. He served the people of Israel with what God has given Him. He had certain gifts and He used them wisely. He taught the people the about the Kingdom of God and His love for them. Taught them how to pray and that He sent a savior to them as He had promised. He taught them about relationships and their families and how to be at peace with each other. He taught them about covenants. But mostly, He taught them about faith and the power of the spoken word, and how to occupy till His soon return. While accomplishing these things He healed them. He set them free from controlling spirits, and He provided for them. His manner was that of a willing and understanding servant. He served with compassion. That means He felt their burden and concerns. He understood them, their desires and their fears just as He does today. We should be about doing all these things in His Name also. This is what is our approach to our community also. "Occupy till He comes" means be about the Fathers business. Doing the things Jesus did while teaching and preaching the Good News of the Gospel, we have set ourselves to serve the people with what gifts we have been given. Many people in the ministry have become arms of compassion to the community. Each one is a gift in him/herself, doing what the Lord has given them to do. "A man's gift is accepted according to what he has." That means that what we bring to the table is sufficient, as long as we bring something. We may not be able to do all that is to be done, but we can do some of the things that need to be done. Our goal is to serve the community with compassion, touching those areas that are needed as we are called and able. If you are in need of these services or would like to participate, come to our church services and make you needs and desires known by filling out a prayer request form and giving it to the ushers. Be sure to include your name and phone number along with your intentions. Or you may call the office or email us. We look forward to serving you and serving with you. |
