I met the pastor. He's the real deal. CBC has a solid reputation throughout San Antonio. They do outstanding ministry for the orphan, the poor, and the widow. They did a reverse tithe a few years ago where they passed around buckets of cash where you take what you need or give to those in need.
Hi there! I attend CBC. For those asking how the Pastor knew Anthony's name in the video, here's some context: This interaction wasn't staged or planned. It was actually the second time Anthony had shouted out with some colorful language, prompting Pastor Ed to ask for his name and handle the situation with grace and compassion. So no, it wasn't a performance - just a genuine interaction that speaks volumes about the heart of our pastor and church. ❤
Pastor Ed Newton is absolutely amazing. As a young pastor myself, I was in awe of how he dealt with this chaotic situation. Such a beautiful representation that sometimes, interruptions like these can actually be God SHOWING us the sermon, rather than the pastor TELLING us the sermon
What an amazingly profound response by this pastor and congregation. He even corrected the idea of throwing cash at the man to get him in on his feet. God undoubtedly used this pastor and this congregation to shout the love of Christ across the internet and the world. So powerful!! Praise God!
And just like that, my faith is restored again. I’ve been struggling for the past few days, but God works through his people and those people inspire others. I am one of those others. Still new to the faith (2 months baptized), so these videos are a literal Godsend.
Praying for you. Hope you are a part of a bible believing church where you can connect with other believers that will walk this walk with you. If you are feeling discouraged, let someone know that will encourage and pray with you.
If there's a church you are attending, seek out small groups or ways that you can serve in the church. Both of these help keep you connected with others who can be there for you. Life isn't an easy road, but Jesus gives us a way to receive a peace that we cannot understand (Philippians 4).
This is my church and this is the heart of our Pastor and the church. I was present at this service, it was not staged, it’s real life. Pastor meets and greets every first time visitor after each of the five services he preaches. We are a mega church of about 27,000, but it does not seem like it, everyone is loved and cared for.
Pastor Ed is the man! Mega church or not, this would still be his heart. I once was at the altar during a service for a very long time. Just broken before the Lord. Once I got up to go back to my seat right when he’s getting ready to go preach, he followed me to my seat, embraced me, encouraged me, and showed me the Love of Christ. Followed that up by him calling me out by name during the service, mind you this is a massive church, and saying it was great to get to know me by name that day. Not typical of a mega church pastor. Just an awesome guy. Leads a great church here in SA, TX!
Years ago in a little church I had went to for years right in the middle church services while the pastor was preaching a man walked in who lived in the holler behind the church. He had been drinking and was kinda loud but no one told him to leave or anything and he ended up getting saved that night. Years later my oldest son married a sweet girl (who gave me 2 beautiful granddaughters ) and I was telling her about it one day, I don't remember what brought it up, and she said I know who your talking about he's a cousin of mine. I didnt know he was her cousin. I never forgot that it was a beautiful thing. He had been walking out of the holler to go get more beer. A boot legger lived across the road from the little church. As he walked by he could hear the preaching from outside. He had been pacing back and forth in the parking lot for a while I reckon til he couldn't take it any more he said he had to come in. You never know whats going on inside of another person.
That’s my church. I was there. Ruslan, security sits in the front row. And people coming up to the front is normal at CBC. Security is 6 ft away from him. My brother is his body guard. Former military
@@yanishameesh7965 Why do you think Jesus told the disciples that if they didn't have a sword to sell their cloak and get one for their journey? Also, the Pastor isn't Jesus, he doesn't know the thoughts of people.
I don't know if posting the security profile for a church is best idea. I'd delete for some anonymity of it just in case. Security doesn't want people to know thier details typically
I moved to San Antonio a year ago when I found Community Bible Church. Pastor Ed has an amazing authenticity to how he speaks. I don’t think anyone in the congregation is surprised with how well he handled this situation.
That's exactly right. Michael even said during his talk with Ed on stage that he trusted Ed in how he'd react. I never thought I'd belong to a megachurch, but CBC is definitely not a normal church. Amen to that right?!
Brought me to tears. Took a sip of coffee and almost burst it out when Anthony wiped the Pastor’s face with the napkin. Then cried some more. Will keep Anthony in my prayers.
You asked, “Where is the security?” I know the answer because I used to attend that church. Pastor Ed told us there are people strapped up located strategically throughout the crowd who are undercover security. You’ll never know who they are. He also encourages his congregation to carry concealed.
If anyone is wondering, this is Community Bible Church in San Antonio, TX. This is an amazing faith community and Pastor Ed is an excellent leader. It’s not outside of the norm for congregants to bring money to the stage & bring needs to the leaders during service. This church also has a heart for the homeless community in the area. He does have security in the audience but he’s also very open to his flock and their needs.
I go to cbc. I love it there . There is such a love of God and each other at cbc. We promote community. Growing in circles as a family of Christ. We’re not just rows of seats. Pastor Ed illuminates worth . He grew up in the projects so he understands what is needed is not just throwing money at people. Oh it’s honestly “chaotic “ pretty often . Holy Spirit moves and he will redirect the conversation to what’s happening. Security is around . There’s a lot of security. So he is safe and the rest of the church are protected. But anyone can walk over to stage . It’s happened before many times for many reasons. Thanks for sharing about this special moment ❤
I’m an ordained elder as well and you have to let the spirit of God flow as it wants to the Holy Spirit is the control of worship and service not men so if we plan on speaking on a particular thing, and God wants to do something else as well as done and if he has people that need to be reached in touch healing or need a word at that time And that’s what it is. Yes, things should be done in decency in order, but God‘s greatest command to us is to love, and we have to be obedient to him so in doing that everything falls in the place I do believe in security I do believe in being aware of your surroundings cause enemies always attack is always spiritual warfare, protect us Lord he’s got us and we have to trust that. Amen.
Pastor ed is my current pastor. He is one of the best ive been around. Hes always genuine, compassionate and wanting to have the message of christ spread.
This is so awesome! Good for the Pastor! God’s love was manifested through this man of God. He had patience, compassion, wisdom, and he did not display any anger. I learned something today. Thank you!
He needs to send him to Victory ministries in San Antonio. Pastor Garcia who wrote outcry in the barrio started a men’s home for homeless or drug addicts that is totally free and gets people on there feet. I lived in the ft worth home for 7 months and I went in there an atheist and a drug addict in May 2023 and Jesus set me free
This pastor showed mercy. Praise the Lord!!! " For I desire mercy , not t sacrifice, and acknowledgement of God , rather than burnt offerings" Oseas 6:6
I have had the pleasure of not just meeting but speaking with pastor Ed and he is an amazing person who leads by example. It was amazing to see that this moment was captured so that many can see there is still hope in humanity .
I've been a member of CBC for over 10 years. Pastor Ed Newton is such a blessing to us. When you walk in this church, one can immediately feel the Lord's presence. 🙏❣️ And no, there is no barrier.
God is showing the church "in action", how to love one another, how every soul is valuable to Him, that He will leave the 99 "secured", to look for the lost one. The Pastor is praiseworthy for being sensitive to the leading of the Holy Spirit, and the wisdom to deal with the situation; showing love and leading the lost to salvation, while teaching truth to the church.
One of the best things about Ed Newton is that he did not start the mega church. A different pastor started it, and then retired eight years ago. So it’s not nearly as much of a cult of personality and Ed is in a community group in the church and has a lot of accountability.
This is my church and Pastor Ed has an anointing on his life from God. We have random things happen all the time and he always handles it gracefully with love ❤️ we love you Pastor Ed. God is so good
Pastor Ed is a personal friend. This is who he is. This is how he loves life day in and day out. What a joy to spread the gospel news and the good works of Jesus.
I went to community Bible Church in San Antonio for three years. As far as Megachurch pastors go, Ed is awesome! He loves evangelism and tries to make it as personal as possible. It’s very common for him to interact with people on stage like this.
This is the church I go to! CBC in San Antonio Tx. but not only that! This WAS my VERY FIRST DAY! and this HAPPENED! My SECOND SERVICE the sermon was about generosity! and they had BUCKETS FULL of money and they shared them with all the audience to take as they needed! APRIL 7th 2024 was my first day and yesterday August 31st 2024 I got baptized! AND at the end of the service, well! something I was praying for, for about 7 years was answered! I still need to work on it but the field is there! ready to sow the seeds.
This is my Pastor and my church!!! Pastor Ed is a powerful vessel and God bless Micheal for walking in obedience. May blessing and favor fall upon him 👏🏽👏🏽
Sounded like the mother said something about keeping her kid fed, maybe? This pastor did a wonderful job, being the hands and feet that morning! Patience, love, compassion, grace.
Me and my dad got to hear him preach in November of 2022 and just loved the way he spoke and carried himself while preaching. This moment proved he was able to work with this moment fairly good
Ahh this gave me so much joy! What an amazing response from Pastor Ed and kudos to Michael for bringing him to church 🙌🏾👏🏾❤️Anthony we are praying for you.
Spot on. Healing yourself from trauma and sins is the most important thing that you can do for yourself. You owe it to yourself to be the best version of you that you can possibly be with no hurt or sins that drag you down and make you become someone you were not meant to be. God loves us enough to want us to be healed so that we can help people who need healing above all! Bless God!
We can't heal ourselves. We are not enough. We need to look to Jesus for our healing. We will never be the "best version of ourselves" until, only those who have surrendered their lives to the Lord, we enter Heaven. We will always struggle and lack on earth. It just may not be such a difficult struggle at some points, but, Jesus promised that He will be with us through it. What he gives us, even if it's more than we think we can handle, Jesus will walk with us. The Holy Spirit prays for us.
Ed Newton preached my highschool bachelorette service. One thing I’ll never forget is how genuine this guy is. Never knew he would become a pastor of a mega church haha. I think this is definitely the most well handled thing I’ve ever seen from a pastor put in this kinda situation 😂 👏🏾
This is my church ❤ security is front row all over the place but this kind of stuff happens at CBC all the time. They are there to protect him from danger, not keep people away from their Pastor. Very different from the previous ministry we were in 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
I also attend this church and watch the pastor like a hawk since it is so large. During his sermons, I have seen him consistently demonstrate this level of love and emotion. Since the incident, security has stepped in to guide and assist people in understanding that there is a process they must follow to be heard and helped. Last Saturday's service demonstrates this. Unfortunately, it wasn't included in the sermon video (4/27/2024 @ 1700). Nevertheless, though I am skeptical of megachurches, his consistent display of godly love and theological understanding has convinced me that he is walking with the Lord and leading a trustworthy church. If you want to trip out, the church gives buckets full of money to people in need and Jesus shirts during specific services.
That’s a church service y’all 🙌🙌🙌❤ Oh how refreshing to see the souls of those at this church on display, Jesus take care of Anthony and Michael, lead them straight to your heart. Praise God he is MOVING today!
I go to CBC and pastor Ed is the best preacher. From the outside I can see how it looks like a mega church but it does not operate like one. No prosperity gospel never ask for tides. He has a doctorate degree and is highly intelligent the way he can break down the scriptures. I encourage you to check out some of his sermons online.
This is so beautiful to watch a church get the point of a church being the hospital to the sick. I pray for Anthony that he stays on track. God bless this church 😭💕
I attended CBC in San Antonio for about 5 years and served on the worship team. I can say this is a normal thing to happen. Love pastor Ed and his love for people in the city and our church. My wife and I miss CBC as we moved to go to med school but still feel God working through everyone at the church.
It just occurred to me. God seems to be teaching the world what true love is; first Bishop Mar Mari forgiving, loving and praying for his attacker, and now this one causing disruption to a church service. Correcting the corrupted "love" that the world preach which would lead to damnation.
In all of these videos on this situation that I've seen, CBC members just out to let us know this was real and pastor Ed's heart is genuine. I love to see it!
A most inspirational act indeed. I do hope that Anthony finds and pursues fervantly, eternal life. He needs to be shown how to seek God diligently and connect with Him for therein will he find all that he needs. That will not only lift him from the street but also make him part of the tool God uses to lift others from the pits that they are desperately stuck in.
Do you think this pastor handled it well? follow him at instagram.com/pastorednewton/
Yes!
He did, indeed. I was proud of him for acting the way he did in handling that situation. God bless him!
Absolutely powerful!!
Love, grace, and compassion. Nothing wrong with that. Amazing

Thank you so much for the info now I’m all filled in!😊
Thanks For The Information!😇✝️
Good that is very refreshing to see a pastor nowadays teaching people about the real Jesus and acting as he did to
Praying for the Lord to touch Anthony’s heart. May he know the love of Jesus.
I think the sensation that was created by the people attending creates the perception that it was staged.
Michael is our son. This is typical Michael. He always helps people. We are so proud of him.
You raised him right! God bless you ❤
Amen and bless you and your family… this such a blessing to see …. Heart of a servant
God bless him... God just saved his life ❤
Awesome!! God bless your fam
What an amazing, Godly, son you have indeed.
It's indeed a bit awkward, but what we've just witnessed was church, y'all. Real church.
Basically. 💯
And we are too dignified for it.
Yes!!
Y’all!!!!
This is what ALL CHURCHES should be like. They are dwindling, as a matter of fact, this was the most beautiful thing I've seen....ever.
Pastor Ed Newton is absolutely amazing. As a young pastor myself, I was in awe of how he dealt with this chaotic situation. Such a beautiful representation that sometimes, interruptions like these can actually be God SHOWING us the sermon, rather than the pastor TELLING us the sermon
This was a masterclass in empathy, so like Jesus.

I love how he doesn’t view it as the show must go on but rather acknowledge the human being in front of you.
Pastor Ed is the man! Mega church or not, this would still be his heart. I once was at the altar during a service for a very long time. Just broken before the Lord.

That’s my church. I was there.
Ruslan, security sits in the front row. And people coming up to the front is normal at CBC.
Security is 6 ft away from him. My brother is his body guard. Former military
Body guard for what jesus didnt need one
@@yanishameesh7965for security. pastors are often targets of disgruntled ex members or people angry at God or the church.

The kid who picked him up is such an amazing young man.
Awesome. It is so encouraging to see a Pastor looking like Jesus instead of the devil for a change.
Amen!
For a change?

Couldn't help but cry uncontrollably when I watched this.
This is how a real pastor behaves. Thank you, Jesus and pastor for allowing me to see something inspiring.

Refreshing to see a megachurch pastor seeming to be on the right track
Yes, yes indeed! We WANT to see thousands, millions! come to true revival!
This is real. This is what church is supposed to actually be about.
My daughter came home from that service so excited.
Pastor Ed is amazing!!! So grateful that he’s my pastor and leader of my church 🤍
This is MY CHURCH!! Pastor Ed is amazing! We volunteer throughout the city! So blessed to be a part of it!!!! WE ARE CBC & CBC ARE WE!!!!
This is so awesome! Good for the Pastor! God’s love was manifested through this man of God. He had patience, compassion, wisdom, and he did not display any anger. I learned something today. Thank you!

That’s my pastor! That’s my church! CBC is literally what the church should be!
This brought me to tears. True church in action, showing the love of Jesus to those who are marginised. Praise the Lord for Michael!
I don't need any help crying this morning.. Bless this pastor. He did an amazing job. ❤
The pastor showed a lot of love to some hurting people who were confused and needed it. He was trying to be so nice to everyone lol.
Pastor Ed is a personal friend. This is who he is. This is how he loves life day in and day out. What a joy to spread the gospel news and the good works of Jesus.

THAT is how you follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. Right there!
This brought me to tears, of sadness for the mans pain and happiness for the love that Michael showed this man, and the pastor.
I’m not crying. You’re crying!! 😭😭Lord thank you for men who get it. Ruslan, thank you for your work. This was awesome.
This is the church I go to! CBC in San Antonio Tx. but not only that! This WAS my VERY FIRST DAY! and this HAPPENED!

AND at the end of the service, well! something I was praying for, for about 7 years was answered! I still need to work on it but the field is there! ready to sow the seeds.
Talk about crying, the first time I saw this I loved it. We are the hands and feet of Jesus!
This is my Pastor and my church!!! Pastor Ed is a powerful vessel and God bless Micheal for walking in obedience. May blessing and favor fall upon him 👏🏽👏🏽
This warms my heart and gives me so much hope that the Spirit of The Lord is moving! And His people are responding to Him! Amen amen!
This was SO beautiful… happy to see a pastor DO the REAL right thing. ❤ cried the whole way through this……….
This pastor is an excellent leader with a real heart for the Lord!
Sounded like the mother said something about keeping her kid fed, maybe?
This pastor did a wonderful job, being the hands and feet that morning! Patience, love, compassion, grace.

Yes I am

This is what the Church needs to be. Nothing less.
Such a beautiful picture of the love of Jesus being demonstrated to a broken vessel. He will ALWAYS go after the one bc that's who Jesus is❤
I may move to San Antonio just to be able to go to this Church. Faith in Pastors restored. ✝️🙏❤️
This one right here... This is what got me to subscribe... Thank you for showing this... Love, this is the love of God 🌹🙏
Ed Newton preached my highschool bachelorette service. One thing I’ll never forget is how genuine this guy is. Never knew he would become a pastor of a mega church haha. I think this is definitely the most well handled thing I’ve ever seen from a pastor put in this kinda situation 😂 👏🏾
Please make this a series!! W Pastoring Moments. We - the church and abroad - need to see more GOOD moments. Loved this
Pastor Newton was so moving in the Spirit! The wisdom of God was just flowing through this man! He took this "teaching movement" to the Nth degree!
This is my church ❤ security is front row all over the place but this kind of stuff happens at CBC all the time. They are there to protect him from danger, not keep people away from their Pastor. Very different from the previous ministry we were in 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Handled beautifully by the pastor! Also, love that his congregation see's him as so approachable.
This made me cry! I think this young pastor handled it well.
Went to college with Pastor Ed. He has always demonstrated integrity.
I also attend this church and watch the pastor like a hawk since it is so large. During his sermons, I have seen him consistently demonstrate this level of love and emotion. Since the incident, security has stepped in to guide and assist people in understanding that there is a process they must follow to be heard and helped. Last Saturday's service demonstrates this.

That’s a church service y’all 🙌🙌🙌❤
Oh how refreshing to see the souls of those at this church on display, Jesus take care of Anthony and Michael, lead them straight to your heart. Praise God he is MOVING today!
That’s how you lead a church! So beautiful! Praise God!
This is one of the many reasons I love the Church!! If I’m ever in the area for a visit, this will be where I go to church while I’m here!!
Love you featuring a positive thing
Thank you for making videos like this one - you are doing a great job😊
That pastor is definitely a real one
I go to CBC and pastor Ed is the best preacher. From the outside I can see how it looks like a mega church but it does not operate like one. No prosperity gospel never ask for tides. He has a doctorate degree and is highly intelligent the way he can break down the scriptures. I encourage you to check out some of his sermons online.
I love where this going, every second of it LOL
GOD bless y'all.
This is so beautiful to watch a church get the point of a church being the hospital to the sick. I pray for Anthony that he stays on track. God bless this church 😭💕
One of the best Churches in San Antonio,TX! 🙌🏽🙌🏽
Hi Ruslan
The moment changed as soon as he became Jesus with skin on when he acknowledged the homeless man
Tears
I love you too
I know shame can hurt but please stay here and trust him that he will help you
I absolutely loved this. I’ll pray for that man.
This has touched my soul to the core! So blessed by this!
Man! This brought tears to my eyes!
Ed was in Memphis before for a long time. He is legit! Good guy too!
I attended CBC in San Antonio for about 5 years and served on the worship team. I can say this is a normal thing to happen. Love pastor Ed and his love for people in the city and our church. My wife and I miss CBC as we moved to go to med school but still feel God working through everyone at the church.
This reminds me so much of Jim Cymbala ministering to a homeless man in his church (Brooklyn Tabernacle) in New York City.
This is beautiful.
It just occurred to me. God seems to be teaching the world what true love is; first Bishop Mar Mari forgiving, loving and praying for his attacker, and now this one causing disruption to a church service. Correcting the corrupted "love" that the world preach which would lead to damnation.
In all of these videos on this situation that I've seen, CBC members just out to let us know this was real and pastor Ed's heart is genuine. I love to see it!
This is my home church. Grateful for the community here and Pastor Ed. After my mom passed, I attended Griefshare hosted by CBC.
This is what God has called us to. We need to be ready and willing to plant seed or water, God will give the increase. This was so beautiful.
A most inspirational act indeed. I do hope that Anthony finds and pursues fervantly, eternal life. He needs to be shown how to seek God diligently and connect with Him for therein will he find all that he needs. That will not only lift him from the street but also make him part of the tool God uses to lift others from the pits that they are desperately stuck in.
He crushed it. Handled it so well
Broooooo, I just watched this a few days ago. This Pastor is a freaking unit for how he handled this situation. I was in no joke tears watching this.
Real life example of God using an able vessel to do His work. Beautifully handled by pastor
Today was National Prayer Day in the U.S. many congregated and prayed to our LORD. God is good!
