NTEB HOUSE CHURCH SUNDAY MORNING SERVICE: We Must Go To The 'Least Of These' With The Gospel

Lately it seems that the Lord is opening up a door to us here at NTEB, through our Free Bible and Gospel Tract Program, and leading us more and more into specifically getting Bibles into the the hands of souls in homeless shelters, centers for abused women, and those souls in the jails and prisons. It reminds me of the trip I took to the Pacific Garden Mission back in 1993, as a baby Christian, and lived for a week right there in the shelter to learn how to do street ministry. From the time I got saved, the Lord gave me a heart for the homeless, the first place I ever preached was a homeless shelter, and in 2015 He allowed me to feel just a little bit of what it's like to be homeless. The heart of Christian ministry lies in bringing the gospel, all with a hot meal and something to drink, to the homeless, the downtrodden, the prisoner, the abused, the people that the Bible calls the 'least of these'. Now, I understand that the passages in Matthew 25 I am quoting doctrinally have to do with how people treated the Jews in the time of Jacob's trouble, but I am going to make a spiritual application here this morning. It is my prayer that this message will awaken in you a desire to minister to the least of these, wherever they may be found, and in doing so, bring the gospel to a lost and dying world in need of the Saviour.
