Cussing Homeless Man Stops Pastor Mid-Sermon, Then Something Powerful Happens

A pastor who went viral for stopping in the middle of his sermon to offer kindness to a homeless man is sharing the real-life story behind the touching video of his compassionate act. Pastor Ed Newton of Community Bible Church in San Antonio, Texas, told CBN News why he chose to engage the man — named Anthony — and why he believes the interaction offers an important lesson. For those unfamiliar, the story began when Anthony yelled expletives toward the pulpit during an April church service, leaving Newton and parishioners in a bit of shock. Anthony wasn't angry, though; he had reportedly noticed the pastor's shoes and yelled out a curse — an inappropriate reaction inside a church — to express how "cool" he thought they were. The scenario put Newton in a strange position as a pastor on stage, mid-sermon, in front of a massive audience. The preacher paused to briefly address the incident and ask for Anthony's name, then "just moved on and then got into the bulk of the message." The moment has since gone viral. "We were actually preaching through our core values, and the core value of that weekend was 'celebrate life change,'" Newton told CBN News. "We [had] ... just baptized like over 200 people, and so we celebrate." Newton continued, "We actually have like a pep rally when people get baptized." After Anthony interrupted, the pastor went back to talking about the story of the parable of the lost sheep found in Matthew 18 and Luke 15, and how the Pharisees were critical of Jesus. Little did Newton know, but Anthony was about to call out to him again from the audience. "That's ... where Anthony yells out again and ... as I'm talking about the Pharisees, he goes, 'That's blank, blank," Newton said, indicating Anthony again cursed aloud. "All I knew to do in that moment was to go, 'Hey, listen, if we're one on one, I'm not correcting you,' but because we got little ears in the room, I had to somewhat kind of just say, 'Hey, you're welcome here. You're loved here [but let's not curse].'" It was a gentle and loving rebuke, but a moment that preceded something Newton likely couldn't have imagined. Anthony spoke aloud again and revealed that another man in the audience named Michael had brought him to church that day — and had saved his life. See, Anthony was reportedly planning to commit suicide that morning before Michael met him and took him to church. Watch Newton explain what happened next. CBN News.
