Tuesday Faith in Action

Today’s message was written by guest pastor, Rev. Hunter Camp.

To be passionately committed to our calling as Christians means that we put time and effort into whatever it is that God has called us to do. I know that we are busy people. But my experience suggests that too often we offer God what is left of our time and our talents, our money, and our hope. 

God wants your passion. Find a way to serve God and other people. Your service to God and your place of worship does not have to be large or grand or public. 

In the first church I served there was a very elderly woman named Jewel. Jewel was passionately committed to writing cards to people who were sick or hurting. One day I asked Jewel why she wrote so many notes to so many people, some of whom she did not even know. Jewel replied, “At my age, it’s about the only thing I can do for God and other people. But I figure God wants me to do something. And this is something I can still do.”

May you find a way to use your passion for God. And may you know that God has a great passion for you.

Let us pray: God of grace and Giver of passion, may you strengthen our resolve to work for you and to your glory. And may we, your humble servants, find our faith, hope, and love renewed as we serve Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
