Eabled food pantry (Wk of 5/13/12)

The gospel, encouragement and food shared with many visitors this last week at Enabled Ministries. This is why:

Then shall the King say unto them on his right hand, Come, ye blessed of my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world: For I was an hungred, and ye gave me meat: I was thirsty, and ye gave me drink: I was a stranger, and ye took me in: Naked, and ye clothed me: I was sick, and ye visited me: I was in prison, and ye came unto me.

Then shall the righteous answer him, saying, Lord, when saw we thee an hungred, and fed thee? or thirsty, and gave thee drink? When saw we thee a stranger, and took thee in? or naked, and clothed thee? Or when saw we thee sick, or in prison, and came unto thee?

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.

We learned one of Enabled patrons passed away. Seldon Tutt, Sr. visited every month, and regardless of what daily hardship he endured, he praised God for His goodness.

Psa 145:3 Great is the LORD, and greatly to be praised; and his greatness is unsearchable.

We praise God for the privilege to serve Him!

Enabled H.O.P.E. (5/11/12)

erclifford — Tue, 15 May 2012 02:22:06 +0000

Great devotion given about the many names of God: Wonderful, Counsellor, The Mighty God, The Everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace and more. The devotion ushered in an excellent sermon on faith, which concluded with this question. What are we doing to introduce others to Jesus Christ? The gospel of John (Jn 11:39) convinces us that Jesus does want us to demonstrate faith in HIM. The Lord’s powerful Word could have removed the stone that sealed Lazarus’s tomb; yet Jesus said, “Take ye away the stone.” The message reminded me of how important faith is in pleasing God, and that it’s my actions that put validity to my faith.

Enabled food pantry (wk of 5/6/12)

erclifford — Fri, 11 May 2012 04:08:21 +0000

Enabled volunteers, armed with God’s truth, witnessed to six people this week at the Middletown food pantry. Six souls heard how God loves them, and how He made a plan of escape from eternal death and damnation by trusting in the one and only person in which every knee will bow, and every tongue will confess the name of Jesus and His Lordship over all. Enabled is an awesome ministry where the visitor knows within moments of coming through the front door that Jesus will be the topic of conversation. The Enabled team shares Christ with those who don’t know Him, and fellowships with others who do. Grace members are welcome to join the fun. See Roger Coffman or Vallarie Bussell if interested in sharing God’s Word in an environment where you and the Holy Spirit reveal Jesus Christ!

“We are thankful for a great weekend here in London, in spite of it being Bank Holiday Monday! We were thrilled to see first time visitors in the services Sunday. On Bank Holiday Monday, our church football team participated in a six a side tournament for churches in London. It was a great time of fellowship together with some men in the church. This Wednesday, we are continuing down Route 66 through each book of the Bible in the book of Numbers. Friday Evening, our ladies are having a ladies fellowship and several people, without Christ, are planning to attend. We are praying for their salvation. Bible Institute for this semester is just about complete. We are finishing Hermeneutics at the end of next week. The three young preachers in the Institute are doing extremely well in their studies. We hope you have a great week serving the Lord!”

Every Blessing,
