Have you found your calling?
5. Matthew 6:33-34
But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.
11. 2 Timothy 1:10
He has saved us and called us to a holy life — not because of anything we have done but because of his own purpose and grace. This grace was given us in Christ Jesus before the beginning of time, but it has now been revealed through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has destroyed death and has brought life and immortality to light through the gospel.

REKINDLE YOUR FAITH THROUGH COMMUNITY WORSHIP
GATHERING PEOPLE IN FAITH
FAITH IS STRENGTHENED WHEN IT IS CELEBRATED WITH OTHERS
Join us on Sunday September 29, 2024 @ 10:00AM as our speaker Robert Harper II touches on the message,
“Grace, Faith and Works,” drawing inspiration from
Ephesians 2:1-10.
In today's fast-paced world, we often measure worth and success by our accomplishments and actions. Yet, as we turn to Scripture, we are reminded that the foundation of our salvation is not built on human effort alone. The Apostle Paul’s words in Ephesians 2:1-10 provide us with a profound reminder: we were once spiritually dead, but through God's grace, we have been made alive in Christ. This grace is the gift that surpasses all understanding, the unmerited favor of a loving God who gives life where there was none.
Ephesians 2:8-9 declares, "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—not by works, so that no one can boast." The call to faith is central. Faith is the vehicle by which we accept and live out this grace, trusting fully in God's promise of salvation through Jesus Christ. However, this does not diminish the importance of works, as verse 10 affirms, "For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Here, we see that works are not the means to salvation but the fruit of a life transformed by grace through faith.
As we delve into this sermon, we will explore the interplay of grace, faith, and works. These three elements do not stand in opposition but in perfect harmony. Grace is the foundation, faith is the response, and works are the evidence of a life aligned with God's purpose. Together, they form the unshakable foundation of a believer’s walk with Christ, showing that while we are saved by grace through faith, our lives are meant to reflect that salvation through good works.
Today, let us open our hearts and minds to this transformative message, trusting in the power of grace, walking in faith, and committing ourselves to the works that God has set before us.
