Asst. Pastor Melvin GainesWorship Service Message for Sunday, April 27, 2025We will have occasions to share about Jesus and the gospel with our own family members.  For some of you, that may be a hard stop because of what you have had to go through in your efforts to just live as a believer in Jesus in the family.  I get it.  You may be the only believer in sight.  But that doesn't matter when you hold it up against the Word of God.  We are still to be the lights in a world of darkness.  We are still called to be ready to share the gospel at a moment's notice.#share #gospel #Jesus #believer #light #skill #moment #family #finance #money #budget #debt
