“I Am Because You Are”

Life Speaks“Actions speak louder than words.” How true! Our words only have power if those words are backed up with concrete and visible choices, priorities, and relationships. Do our lives “speak” faithfully of the Kin-dom? We are called to follow the words and way of Jesus: to love God and love each other—that is what it means to be a disciple. How do we do it? Our Wesleyan tradition gives us a map for the journey, spiritual practices to help us grow in love of God and neighbor. Together we will explore these concrete actions that shape and form us on the disciple’s path. Our destination? Lives that—even without words—communicate LOVE.

Confession and PardonMerciful God, we confess that we have not loved you with our whole heart. We have failed to be an obedient church. We have not done your will, we have broken your law, we have rebelled against your love, we have not loved our neighbors, and we have not heard the cry of the needy. Forgive us, we pray. Free us for joyful obedience, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
