“Do not think that love in order to be genuine has to be extraordinary. What we need is to love without getting tired. Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.”
― Mother Teresa

 

THIS IS THE CONCLUSION OF SUNDAY’S SERMON AND THE SERIES ON GRACE……

     I wanted you to see these examples of grace and call to action….for if we RECEIVE the grace of god and just sit and soak it up…we are not doing what god intends  for us to do with his grace.

 the faith we hold as believers is not some static non active faith….as you read any of the life of Jesus or his followers…..you can see it is a busy grace that calls us to action…for it is in the action that we recognize the true grace that god has given is.

 

As preached for so loNG your faith and actions tells about your relationship with the lord….remember Jesus said “if you love me…you will keep my commandments” WE show our love by our action….I have heard all my life actions speak louder than words…..

 

  As followers of the Lord Jesus must know that our world is looking for TANGIBLE expressions of our love for God and for others.

 We that know the grace of God…must share that grace by: walking in the light of his grace and glory.

 

I PRAY AS YOU GO THROUGH THIS WEEK…THAT HIS GRACE WILL SHINE FORTH FROM YOU AND THAT YOU WILL BLESS OTHERS.

 

GOD BLESS YOU!

 SEE YOU SUNDAY!!!
