If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical ...read more

    If a picture is worth a thousand words, then our actions as disciples, when they reflect the faith we have, should be worth far more.

    Hopefully this sermon will explain that faith moves us to do good works. It also shows that it is our actions that count not just things we say and we should evaluate our spiritual lives regularly
