Faith in Action: Being a Gospel-Driven Change-Maker
Christians are called to be the hands and feet of Jesus in the world. To be proclaimers of good news--agents of reconciliation with a message of hope, and faith that takes action. We need wisdom from God's Word, power from His Spirit, hope from His gospel, and faith that He will equip us for the task.
