Theme: "Faith in Action"

Scripture: James 2:14-17"What good is it, my brothers and sisters, if someone claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save them? Suppose a brother or a sister is without clothes and daily food. If one of you says to them, 'Go in peace; keep warm and well fed,' but does nothing about their physical needs, what good is it? In the same way, faith by itself, if it is not accompanied by action, is dead."
Reflection
Faith is more than just belief—it’s action. James 2:14-17 reminds us that true faith is demonstrated by how we live and how we respond to the needs of others. A faith that doesn’t lead to action is incomplete.
This week, reflect on how your actions align with your faith. Are there opportunities to serve, give, or extend kindness to others? Living out our faith through good deeds glorifies God and brings His love into the lives of others.
