Trinity serves country breakfast buffet to homeless

East Tennessee has seen some of the worst weather in a while with a bitter cold front that lasted almost 6 days with temperatures reaching into the negative numbers. Our friends at Shades of Grace in Downtown Kingsport setup a temporary shelter for the past 6 days for anyone to get in from the cold. Trinity cares deeply for the community especially those in need so imagine how delighted we were to be able to provide an immediate need for the Church.

This morning we were able to be blessed by serving a country style breakfast and get to know some of those staying at the shelter. Our hearts go out as we are called to serve others for what is faith without works. So many want to work but it is hard to get back on your feet and apply for a job without a permanent address. So if you are reading this post, I would challenge you to look for small ways you can help your fellow neighbors. To do unto the least is to do unto the Lord.

In the Old and New Testaments, we see God’s desire for His children to show compassion to the poor and needy. Jesus said that the poor would always be with us (Matthew 26:11; Mark 14:7). He also said that those who show mercy to the poor, the sick, and the needy are in effect ministering to Him personally (Matthew 25:35–40) and will be rewarded accordingly.

Jesus commanded us to love one another (John 13:34–35). And what better way to demonstrate the love and kindness and compassion of Jesus Christ than by reaching out to the “least of these” among us?
