My goal for this Sunday morning is to demonstrate from God’s word that faith and works are inseparable. As Christians, we show the genuineness of our faith not just through words, but through our actions. ‌ ‌ I want God’s word to reveal to us that all our deeds must reflect the love, compassion, kindness, mercy, and grace of God. Through our actions, people can truly witness and experience how God’s love is manifested in us. ‌ ‌ Furthermore, may God's word transform and change us, leading us to be guided by the Holy Spirit toward holiness and righteousness. May our inclination to entertain sin be removed, prompting us to repent from it, thus ensuring that our thoughts and actions bring glory only to God.
