Faith in Action

Discipleship is being called to walk with Christ, equipped to live like Christ and sent by Christ to love and serve the word. The Apostle Peter tells us in 1 Peter 4:11 Whoever speaks must do so as one speaking the very words of God; whoever serves must do so with the strength that God supplies, so that God may be glorified in all things through Jesus Christ.  To him belong the glory and the power forever and ever.  Amen.  NRSV
