Our latest Scripture reading challenge is to read Psalm 91 for 91 days. The last day of this reading time will be on August 17.
Join us in reading this Psalm of protection by the Lord. Read it out loud if you can and read it for yourself, your family and for the nation.
During a time of prayer one Monday night, the Lord gave us some Scriptures regarding praying for our nation.
We held our first Praise In The Park event on Saturday, May 18th, 2019 at the gazebo at Centennial Park in downtown Venice. Around 100 people came together to sing along and praise the Lord Jesus Christ. We have held several more since then, as well as some indoors due to rain.
Due to city restrictions, we cannot hold Praise In the Park at this time. However, we invite you to join us each Sunday @ 1 PM for a time of Worship and our Sunday Service at our Church location.
Praise and worship with us as we lift up the Lord Jesus Christ.
Abounding Grace Fellowship is a non-denominational church in Venice, Florida.
We are a family of believers that hold to the truth that Jesus Christ is the Son of God and the only way of Salvation to the Father God.
Our services are contemporary with an emphasis on the teaching of the Word of God and a strong belief in the flow the of Holy Spirit.
Philippians 3:10 – That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable unto his death;
We desire everyone to know the Lord Jesus Christ in a personal way and become a believer and child of God for eternity.
Ephesians 4:15 – But speaking the truth in love, may grow up into him in all things, which is the head, even Christ:
Once a person becomes a believer, the next step is to start growing in the knowledge of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Mark 16:15 – And he said unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Believers are like pitchers: when they have something inside, it’s time to pour out for others. Whether it’s across the world or to the person next door, we should share the love and life of Christ Jesus with others.
Charles Black served in many areas of ministry for over 20 years and is now the pastor of Abounding Grace Fellowship in Venice, Florida.
Together with his wife, Sandy, he is committed to preaching the Good News of God’s Grace and His Son, Jesus Christ to all of Venice, Florida and the world.
Their hearts’ desire is that you know, above all else, that Jesus loves you no matter what, and He has made a way for you to get to Heaven.
Our Sunday Services are held at 1 PM. Praise and worship songs are mostly contemporary but do include some of the wonderful hymns that glorify God.
Praise & Worship:
Please join us this next Sunday to worship our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ, and receive ministry from His Word.

Jesus said that He is the Way, the Truth, and the Life. If you need the Way out of your trouble — it’s Him. If you are looking for answers — He is the Truth. If you would like to have the real Life — He is it!
How do you get to a place where Jesus can help you? It’s easy… ask Him.
People talk to their friends and family members because they believe they are real and can hear them. It’s the same with Jesus. Talk to Him. Ask for His help. He is as real as your closest friend.
So, Who is Jesus? Jesus is the Son of God. He is also the Son of Man (that is, Jesus is also human). Jesus is not half God and half man. He is all God and all man. You might say He is 200%.
He was born just like any other human on this earth, except that His real Father is God. His body was formed miraculously in His mother’s womb with no human father. God’s mighty power, and Jesus’ mother choosing to believe, made it possible for her to become pregnant with the Son of God. While He grew up, Jesus lived with His mother, Mary, and her husband, Joseph. Later, when Jesus was about 30 years old, God spoke from Heaven and said that Jesus was His Son and that He loves Him.
Jesus only came to earth because of us. God wanted us to be part of His family. But God is perfect, and we were not. People make mistakes … but more than that, everyone, at some time in life, has chosen to do something that he or she knew was wrong. All it takes is one time, and perfection is gone. We call that “sin”. Sin is not smoking or cursing. Sin is choosing to do the wrong thing when you know inside what the right thing to do is. We all have done that — probably many more times than just once. In order for us to join God’s family, He had to get rid of our sins. It wouldn’t have been right to pretend they didn’t exist, so God made a way that someone could be punished for doing wrong instead of us. That Way is Jesus.
Jesus never sinned, so He didn’t need to be punished to make things right for Himself. You may have heard of the term “scape goat” — someone who takes the blame for someone else’s wrong doing. That’s exactly what Jesus did. He never did anything wrong, but was punished by being put to death like a criminal. The Bible says that God put all of our sins on Jesus and declared that they were paid for when He was punished. That means we are free!
The good news is that God brought Jesus back to life again. He didn’t stay dead. God brought Jesus back to life. He got His Son back again. Now He’s just waiting for you to join His family too!
In order to get on the right path with God, the Bible tells us that we only have to do two things: believe and speak. We don’t have to do a certain number of good deeds. We don’t have to stop all of our bad habits. All we have to do is these two things: 1) We have to believe that God raised Jesus from the dead, and 2) we have to say that we choose Jesus as our Lord … that means we say that Jesus is the One we will listen to.
Here is a prayer that you can pray right now to invite Jesus into your life and get on the road to Heaven:
Dear God in Heaven, I believe Jesus died for my sin, was buried, and You raised Him to life again. I believe Jesus is alive. I’m going to follow Him. Jesus is my Lord. Thank You for making me part of Your family. Thank you for making me able to go to Heaven.
