June 26, 2011 – An Action Oriented Faith

Listen to the podcast of this message here.

Pat Tillman’s dream was to play in the National Football League. Since he was undersized for the positions he played, there was little chance for him to succeed in professional football. But amazingly, he was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals and broke the franchise record for tackles in a single season. But after a few years, Pat put his football career on hold and became a U.S. Army Ranger. People asked why? And the question intensified when Pat was killed in service. Why was Pat Tillman willing to leave professional football and serve his country? Why are many Christians willing to leave their comfortable lives to serve our Lord?

In the book of James, God tells us something very important about service. It is a message we need to hear and respond to. Why? It’s a good question. Join us Sunday as we explore God’s answer.

Here’s the scripture for Sunday:
• James 1:22
• James 2:14-26
• Matthew 25:34-40
• Eph 2:8-9
• Luke 23:39-43

Here’s the question for Sunday:
Are you action oriented when it comes to your faith?

Are you willing to support our new ministries?

Scripture Memory Verse
James 1:22 “Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says.”

Remember!
Be prepared on Sunday – bring God’s Word and your friends, and pray that we will be hearers and doers!
