Suresh, from the Evangelical Institute of Greenville, preached for Paul last Tuesday night. Every week Paul reminds everyone that we are downtown for the Gospel. With that in mind, Suresh preached on the meaning of the Gospel.
He asked for a show of hands for those who had problems. Everyone responded. Like everyone, the homeless experience problems such as loneliness, addictions, need for shelter, and need for employment to name a few problems. But these problems are a symptom of a major problem in everyone’s life. The real problem is sin. Sin separates us from God and the only remedy is that it must be dealt with. We can not deal with it by our good works which we think will cover our sin and God will then accept us. There has to be a sacrifice or a shedding of blood to properly cover our sin and make us acceptable to God. Suresh read from Isaiah 59 and Roman 3 which describes sin and it's remedy. There has to be a Redeemer who is Jesus Christ. Suresh invited all to accept Jesus as their Savior and a number of individuals responded. Praise God.
While everyone was eating, Suresh entertained everyone by playing his Sitar. Everyone was delighted with the unusual sound.
