Elements of a Living Faith

Faith is a gift we are given by the grace of God. It is a gift that starts small and needs to be opened, nurtured, and wrestled with so that it can grow and bring us the fullness of life that God promises. How is your faith? Is it strong or in need of some nourishment? The reality is that faith is not an object that once you have it you are good to go and have nothing else to do. Faith is a living thing that needs sustenance to flourish so that it will produce fruit for our lives and for the lives of others.

To make this happen there are certain ELEMENTS that naturally feed a living faith. I invite you to join us Rally Sunday , September 7, for the beginning of a four week sermon series on “Elements of a Living Faith” and learn again how you can grow in your Christian walk with God.

• September 7
  Living a life of faith and fulfilling the Body of Christ.
• September 14
  Prayer, Worship and Studying Scripture as ways to nurture our faith.
• September 21
  Living out our call to Share God’s Story and Do Acts of Service and Justice.
• September 28
  Living our Faith through the Stewardship of Our Lives and the Building of Spiritual Friendships.

This sermon series will kick off a year-long congregational emphasis to focus on how we each can and need to continually grow in our faith. We will have different things for you to take home with you that will help you keep these concepts before you at work and at home. I invite you to join us on Rally Day as we begin to explore together what it means to live a life of faith and how you can help your faith come alive in Christ!
