AN ACTIVE FATIH
The life of following Jesus is an active life. We’ve been invited to put our faith in action. As a church, we’re always trying to find ways to live this active faith. If you want to get involved, ask about any of our various ministries or share your ideas of ways we can serve each other and the community for the glory of God.
SCRIPTURE OF THE MONTH
What could you fill in this month’s scripture:
And Jesus, aware of this, said to them, “Why are you discussing the fact that you _____? Do you not yet perceive or understand? Are your hearts hardened? Having eyes do you not see, and having ears do you not hear? And do you not remember?”(Mark 8:17-18 ESV). God is so good, loving, and powerful. How are you limiting Him with disbelief?
