In what concrete ways are you living your faith
through service to others?
Jesus teaches us that what we do matters. Discipleship is not in a
name but in our actions that announce we are followers of Christ.
What actions or habits do we have in our lives that fulfill the work
of Christ? What do we need to remove because it is contrary to the
way of Christ?
