Great Things We Can Do

If you are like me, I often wonder about what I can do for the Lord and His kingdom. Here are some simple things we can do that will help others, perhaps lead a soul to Jesus, and lift your spirits as well.

First, we have several of our members and friends who are shut-ins, in nursing homes, in assisted living, and in rehab facilities. Let us take time to pray for them daily, make phone calls, and send cards of encouragement. Even better and highly recommended, let us go by and visit them. We can listen to them and let them know how much we care for them. I promise this will be a blessing to them and to you.

Remember, Jesus said, “I was sick and you visited me…And the King will answer and say to them, ‘Assuredly, I say to you, inasmuch as you did it to one of the least of these My brethren, you did it to Me” (Matthew 25:36b,40 NKJV).

Second, we know we need to be working in our communities for the Lord, but often we are not sure how to accomplish this. Here is an easy thing to do: invite your friends and neighbors to our church services. The number one reason visitors attend is because someone invited them. Let that someone be you.

We have a men’s retreat on March 17th and 18th with our gospel meeting starting on the 19th and going through the 22nd. This is a perfect opportunity to invite, friends, neighbors, and coworkers to these wonderful events. We have flyers available to pass out in our various respective neighborhoods in which we live.

Third, let us be on the lookout for people who are searching for answers. Perhaps, they have lost a loved one, had financial setbacks, or going through some other “rough patch”. Let us offer to study the Bible with them. In home Bible studies are a great way to help people know the truth of God’s word. We simply take people where they are at and show them God’s way through His Holy Word “speaking the truth in love” (Ephesians 4:15). If you need help with this, I will be glad to assist you.

Friends, these are things we can do to help those in need, the lost, and further the Lord’s kingdom. Are you willing?

Stay true to the Word,

Brother Travis
