The Gospel

The Gospel is "The Good News."  Maybe more accurately it is the news of Salvation to those that are lost.  It encompasses the Death, Burial and Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  The Gospel of Jesus Christ is for whosoever will, it is the open door by which all those who wish to be saved must enter.  Jesus said,
Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
John 3:5KJV

Street Samaritans Service
I realize this is an old message, but it is of utmost importance that we understand that the Gospel is the message of salvation to those that are lost.  We as the church ought to be seeking those that are lost and bringing the message of Salvation to them; repentance, Jesus Name Baptism, and the infilling of the Holy Ghost.  Nothing is more exhilarating than seeing the Gospel transform a person's life.   Each of us in the church, are here because the Gospel message was delivered unto us.
My challenge to us all is to stop looking for  a program or a function to get involved in and start looking for a life.  All around us are people that are waiting to hear the life changing message of Jesus Christ.  Regardless of your background, race, creed or income; Jesus died for you.
Street Samaritans is a ministry of Calvary Tabernacle, that literally takes the Gospel to the streets.  Yesterday over 50 people from all walks of life gathered under an old oak tree and prayed and sang and worshiped the Lord together as lives were changed.  I want to say thank you to everyone, but most of all to Jesus for showing up in a big way and  letting us each see the Kingdom in action.
If you are looking for something to get involved in, you only need to look as far as the next person you meet.
