Jesus Cares

Jesus Cares... About You!

Come join us for a Bible Class that is designed to allow people with developmental disabilities to participate and understand the Word of God and learn about Jesus, as well as enjoy music, crafts, and fellowship.

MISSION STATEMENT

In Christ's love, Jesus Cares Ministries shares the gospel with people who have special needs, their families and communities.

PURPOSE

The purpose of Jesus Cares Ministries is in keeping with the words of the Lord Jesus in Matthew 25:34-36, 40:

Then the King will say to those on his right, "Come, you who are blessed by my Father, take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me...I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me."

PHILOSOPHY

We believe it is our responsibility, in keeping with God's command to teach all nations, to share the Gospel with everyone. Therefore, in the spirit of Christ's Great Commission, we welcome all people with special needs to attend our Bible Class. We believe the Holy Spirit is able to create and nurture saving faith through the gospel in the hearts of people with special needs.

GUIDING PRINCIPLE

God's word in it's entirety serves as our guiding principle. As Christ's love extends to all, we welcome the opportunity to reach out and serve all who would benefit from our Bible Class.

The JCM Bible Class begins at 5:00 PM on Mondays.
We prepare to leave by 6:15 PM.

Jn 16:12-15

I have much more to say to you, more than you can now bear. But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come. He will bring glory to me by taking from what is mine and making it known to you. All that belongs to the Father is mine. That is why I said the Spirit will take from what is mine and make it known to you.

Ezk 18:30-32

Therefore, O house of Israel, I will judge you, each one according to his ways, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent! Turn away from all your offenses; then sin will not be your downfall. Rid yourselves of all the offenses you have committed, and get a new heart and a new spirit. Why will you die, O house of Israel? For I take no pleasure in the death of anyone, declares the Sovereign LORD. Repent and live!

Is 55:6-9

Seek the Lord while he may be found; call on him while he is near. Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the Lord, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon. For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Pr 22:6

Train a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not turn from it.

Lk 18:8b

However, when the Son of Man comes, will he find faith on the earth?

Mk 12:28-31

One of the teachers of the law came and heard them debating. Noticing that Jesus had given them a good answer, he asked him, "Of all the commandments, which is the most important?" "The most important one," answered Jesus, is this: "Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one. Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength." The second is this: "Love your neighbor as yourself." There is no commandment greater than these.

Ps 119:28

My soul is weary with sorrow; strengthen me according to your word.

Mt 18:6-9

But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a large millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea. Woe to the world because of the things that cause people to sin! Such things must come, but woe to the man through whom they come! If your hand or your foot causes you to sin, cut it off and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life maimed or crippled than to have two hands or two feet and be thrown into eternal fire. And if your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out and throw it away. It is better for you to enter life with one eye than to have two eyes and be thrown into the fire of hell.

Pr 21:30

There is no wisdom, no insight, no plan that can succeed against the LORD.

Ja 3:6

The tongue also is a fire, a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole person, sets the whole course of his life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.

1 Jn 2:15-17

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him. For everything in the world—the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does—comes not from the Father but from the world. The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

Mk 10:41-45

When the ten heard about this (James & John’s request to sit at Jesus right and left in his glory), they became indignant with James and John. Jesus called them together and said, “You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.”

Mk 12:24-27

Jesus replied (to the Sadducees who asked him to which husband would a woman who had seven husbands be married in the resurrection), Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. Now about the dead rising-have you not read in the book of Moses, in the account of the bush, how God said to him, "I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob?" He is not the God of the dead, but of the living. You are badly mistaken!
