You are invited to attend our Gospel Meeting! Our song leader will be Ray Walker of Goodlettsville, TN. Our speaker will be Gary Massey of Chattanooga, TN.
The theme on which Gary will be speaking throughout the meeting is:
“Growing Closer to Christ.”
God is real. We see His mighty work all around us everyday. He created us and asks us to be close to Him and His Son. How do we “Grow Closer to Christ?” The way that we do this is to live a life that is according to His commands and to trust that He knows what we need and that He will provide for us while we live here on this Earth.

“The future of society is in the hands of the mothers.” (de Beaufort)
“Men may build cities and railroads; they span rivers and tunnel mountains. But the mothers of men are the builders of civilization.” (C.A. Stewart)
“Mothers write on the hearts of their children what the world’s rough hand cannot erase.” (Anonymous

In the Old Testament, we have in great detail, at times, the compassion of God. He is compassionate by nature, “The LORD, the LORD God, compassionate and gracious, slow to…
How many of us have been unwilling to forgive a person even one time when they sought our forgiveness? How many of us grudgingly forgave one time, but were unwilling to do so a second time? How many of us would have been willing to go Peter’s seven times, but set our limit there?
According to Mark 15:39, there was a centurion who was standing right in front of Jesus at the cross. When he saw the way Jesus took His last breath, he said, “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
Compassion is to be shown to the regulars as we might consider them. Rebellious people receive compassion because of who God is, not what they have done, because of his grace, not because they deserve it, because he is just, not because they are right. Repentant people are shown compassion because they learn to fear the LORD, usually because of the punishment put upon them; when rebellious or disobedient people return to God and cry out for deliverance, God shows them compassion. God wants to show his compassion to you.
The question for each of us is simple: To whom will you prove to be a neighbor? Will you be the hands of Jesus by being a messenger of His compassion to a world that is lost and in great need.
You and I still have the same choice before us today:
a. Either, Jesus is a complete fraud,
1) If this is true, then you and I must avoid Him at all costs.
b. Or, everything He said about Himself is true.
1) In which case He is the Son of God.
2) You and I have no other to whom we may turn for our salvation.
Which will you decide?
If you are a Christian, you have received God’s compassion and received Jesus’ sacrifice for your sins. Be motivated by God’s compassion to pass on compassion. Demonstrate God’s compassion through good deeds and teaching truth. If you are not yet a Christian, receive this information: God is compassionate. He loved you so much that he sent his Son to be a living example of his compassion. He demonstrated his love for you by sending his Son to die for your sins and your forgiveness.
