En-Joy Ministries, led by Pastor Barron Greenwalt, emphasizes that true fulfillment stems from a deep relationship with God through Jesus Christ. While Maslow’s hierarchy outlines human needs, Christianity asserts that Jesus meets these needs through His sanctifying work. Believers are invited to trust in Jesus for provision, safety, love, esteem, and purpose.
At En-Joy Ministries, Pastor Barron Greenwalt hears countless prayers for divine healing and the salvation of lost loved ones. These heartfelt burdens drive our intercession, rooted in scriptures like Luke 19:10 and Matthew 18:18. We pray with faith, binding the enemy and trusting God to send laborers to share the Gospel (Matthew 9:38). Our lives must reflect Christ’s joy and strength (Nehemiah 8:10), serving as a testimony to draw others to Him. As we stand in faith for prodigals and seekers, we praise God for victory, believing He is faithful to restore and redeem (Philippians 1:6).
At En-Joy Ministries, we embrace God’s call to care for widows, orphans, and the truly needy, as seen in Deuteronomy 10:18 and James 1:27. Scripture places the primary responsibility on families to support their loved ones (1 Timothy 5:8), with the church as a backup when family is absent (Acts 6:1-7). Pastor Barron Greenwalt shares his family’s legacy of caring for five generations, urging us to reject cultural reliance on government or nursing homes and instead honor the vulnerable with dignity. Let’s discern true needs, avoid enabling idleness (2 Thessalonians 3:10), and reflect Christ’s love.
As pastor of En-Joy Ministries, I invite you to embrace koinonia—the deep fellowship uniting believers with God and each other. Through communion, we celebrate Jesus’ sacrifice, as seen in Acts 2:42-47 and Matthew 26:17-29. This sacred act binds us as God’s family, fostering love and unity (1 Corinthians 10:16-17). By sharing the bread and cup, we remember Christ’s love, examine our hearts, and anticipate eternity together. Let’s live out koinonia, strengthening our witness and glorifying God as one body in Christ.
The church is God’s blended family, united by Christ’s indwelling presence (Matthew 18:20). Like a diverse household, believers from all walks of life come together, bringing unique backgrounds and challenges. Through koinonia—deep fellowship rooted in Christ—we share love, growth, and service (Acts 2:42–47). Despite differences, our unity in Christ’s grace and sovereignty creates a family where all belong (1 Corinthians 12:12). By loving God and one another (Matthew 22:34–40), we grow in faith, care for each other, and impact the world, reflecting Jesus’ love and drawing others to Him (John 13:34–35).
Communion is no casual ritual; it’s rooted in the Passover, where the lamb’s blood saved Israel (Exodus 12:12-13). Jesus, our Passover Lamb, triumphed over sin and death (1 Corinthians 5:7). As we break bread and share the cup, we proclaim His victory (1 Corinthians 11:26). At home or in church, I cherish taking Communion with loved ones, mirroring early believers (Acts 2:42). Let’s approach the Lord’s Table with reverence, remembering the colossal sacrifice of Christ, our Savior, until He returns.
