11-12-17 Disciples: Share. - a podcast by St. Matthews UMC

This Week in Worship. We will conclude our Discipleship Sermon Series by discussing what it means for us as disciples to share our time, our talents and our financial resources to build God’s Kingdom. Everything that we have is a gift from God. The St. Matthews congregation shares generously through their tithes and offerings. We will discuss the ways that financial gifts are being utilized to nurture current disciples and to help make new disciples. We will also highlight opportunities for the congregation to share their time by being the hands and feet of Christ inside and outside the walls of our church. The book of James is very clear about the fact that our faith and discipleship should be lived out in a life of “deeds.” He says that faith without action is dead. It is not enough to worship and then go home and live our own lives. We are called to serve in compassion in the lives of others who are struggling for life. As James says, in our deeds and service to others, our faith is “made complete.” This week we will hand out reusable grocery bags with a food list inside so that families can shop for food that will be distributed by our Neighbors Food Pantry. We will bring them back next Sunday for our special Christ the King Service.
