Our Purpose for this:
Since 2018 Scriptural Study Groups has hosted a free store called the “Buy Without Money Store”, named after the verse in the book of Isaiah:

Isaiah 55:1 (ESV)
“Come, everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and he who has no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price.

This verse isn’t about a physical market. Instead, it speaks of the invitation God gives to salvation by grace through faith in his son Jesus Christ. We see this heart of God all throughout His Word, a heart to love and provide for all mankind. 

John 3:16–17 (NIV)
For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.

God’s love, which we are instructed in Ephesians to imitate, extends to all of our lives. When we consider records like Matthew 6, James 2, Acts 4 and so many others, we clearly see that God desires to provide eternal life, and, like sprinkles on a cake, all of the things we need to live this life for Him. 

This free store is an opportunity for us who know and are thankful for God’s kindness to us to prayerfully and cheerfully give. It is also an opportunity for the saints of God to see His care and provision in our lives. 

We aim for this loving care to extend beyond the walls of our church and into our communities and we pray that it carries the aroma of Christ and God’s love to anyone who needs and wants that love in their lives. We also pray that this will help lead all of us to a greater trust and appreciation of the magnitude of God’s love and ability to provide and deliver all that we need. 

We hope that you will join us and see the love that God has for you.

Psalm 23 (NIV)
A psalm of David. The LORD is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, he refreshes my soul. He guides me along the right paths for his name’s sake.
Even though I walk through the darkest valley, I will fear no evil, for you are with me; your rod and your staff, they comfort me.
You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.
Surely your goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and I will dwell in the house of the LORD forever.
