To help people

Baton Rouge LA

Helping others is a core value rooted deeply in the Bible, and it reflects the heart of God’s love and justice. In Galatians 6:2, the Apostle Paul urges believers to “carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ.” This law—grounded in love (John 13:34)—calls us to step outside of ourselves and serve those in need, whether they are poor, sick, lonely, or in danger. Helping others not only meets their physical and emotional needs, but it also reflects God's mercy and compassion through our actions. When we care for others, we become living witnesses to the grace we ourselves have received.

Moreover, Jesus made helping others central to the Christian life. In Matthew 25:40, He teaches that when we serve “the least of these,” we are serving Him directly. That means every act of kindness—feeding the hungry, visiting the sick, comforting the broken—is sacred. Helping others reminds us that we are all part of one human family created in God’s image. It humbles us, builds community, and strengthens our faith. By lifting others up, we draw closer to the very character of Christ, who “came not to be served, but to serve” (Mark 10:45).

Absolutely—here’s a version written from your perspective:

For me, nondenominational preaching is about focusing on a personal relationship with God without the added layers of tradition, rules, or labels that come with denominational systems. I believe the Bible is the ultimate authority, and I try to preach in a way that points people back to the Word—clear, honest, and practical. My goal isn’t to push a church structure or theological brand, but to help people know Jesus, understand Scripture, and apply it to real life. I want people to feel free to seek God without feeling like they have to fit into a specific mold or meet man-made expectations.

When I preach, I try to keep it simple and real. I believe in unity through Christ, not division over doctrine. As Ephesians 4:5 says, “one Lord, one faith, one baptism.” I’ve seen how God works across all backgrounds, and I want my preaching to reflect that—welcoming, Spirit-led, and centered on the love and grace of Jesus. I’m not interested in religion for religion’s sake. I want to help people meet the living God, grow in their faith, and walk with Him daily, no matter where they come from.
