Walking into HCF every Sunday, I see FAITH IN ACTION! I look around and see people making coffee, praying for people and the service, security guys and policemen keeping us safe, greeters with smiles and hugs, golf cart drivers in all kinds of weather, Kid City workers smiling and welcoming kids, connection center willing to help anyone, AV workers setting up, and the worship team practicing and worshiping. Plus, lots of people visiting, smiling, hugging, and sharing God’s love!
Our actions truly do speak louder than words, especially when it comes to sharing our faith! There are many ways to put your faith in action, but here are a few ways we can show our faith in a more profound and authentic way than words ever could.
- Live with Integrity and Honor – Sometimes it’s easy to say one thing and do another. Living with honor and integrity can powerfully demonstrate your faith.
- Be Kind – “In a world where you can be anything… be kind.” When we choose to show kindness to everyone, it can be life changing for everyone. And our faith shines through our actions of kindness!
- Volunteer – When you put your needs aside and volunteer your time, money, and energy it’s a way to show others your faith. So instead of telling people about your faith, you’re living out your faith by serving others. ***BTW – HCF has many opportunities to serve! Please reach out to the church office and they can find a perfect fit for you!
- Forgiveness – It can be tough to forgive if you are wronged or hurt, but faith allows us to put aside our hurt and choose to forgive and live out our faith through action.
- Be generous – Generosity speaks volumes about your faith. It’s not just about your money, but it’s about your time, energy, and prayers.
- Be compassionate – Being compassionate takes your faith and puts it into action through empathy and love.
- Have Patience – It’s a fruit of the Spirit, and it requires us to take our faith and practice patience in our daily lives.
- Walk in Humility – When we walk in humility and in God’s word and truth, it shows our faith. We can be respectful, understanding, and open to others’ opinions as we live out our faith daily.
- Love – Love is key to living out our faith. It’s not just about feelings, but it’s about our actions. It’s a way to show others how much God loves them by loving them through your faith.
- Share God’s Word – when our faith is put into action, it should lead others to the cross and God’s love, forgiveness, truth, and saving grace!
With all this said, I’m going to challenge you to check your FAITH IN ACTION!
Can people see Jesus in your everyday life? Can they see Jesus in your words and actions? Can they feel love from you that will lead them to an everlasting relationship with Jesus and secure their place with Jesus in eternity?
As we all put these practices into action in our daily lives, we’re not just talking about faith, we are living it out! Remember, it’s not just a destination, but a journey to be more like Jesus in all we do! Faith is living out what you believe – walking the walk, not just talking the talk.
Hebrews 11:1 Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.
