This Morning is Small Groups #2: Doers of the Word - It is one thing to say we believe, but it is another to live by those beliefs. In James 1:23-24, it writes, "anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like someone who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like." The challenge is for us to comprehend and to be convicted by what God is constantly saying to us.
Next Week is Small Groups #3: Faith and Works - On our third topic of our small group, we will discuss the relationship between faith and works. While we believe that we are saved only by Jesus, James 2:24 writes, "You see that a person is considered righteous by what they do and not by faith alone." Works is a direct result of an outpouring of the Holy Spirit which means that our walk with God should compel us to do his will.
Our Thanksgiving Food drive is underway. See the enclosed flyer for more information.

November 1st - SG #4: Using Your Words (James 3:1-18) - This is the fourth week of our small groups, and this message will be on the power of words. James calls our tongues like "fire that corrupts the whole body". As we grow in Christ, help us see how our words can influence others in positive or negative ways.
Flowers today are from Roland & Leticia in honor of Antonia Vierna.
