Worship Series: "Choosing Faith"
from umcdiscipleship.org
Is faith a gift or a choice? Is it something God does in us or something we do for God? You guessed that the answer is "Yes," no doubt. Faith is a mixture of all that and more. It is a partnership with God as we enter into relationship for our good and the good of the world around us, the community around us. We are choosing every day to live by our faith, to be shaped by our faith, and to submit all our actions and relationships to the measure of faith. In this worship series, we invite you to examine what it means to be people of faith. We are the people who are choosing faith.
This is the Third service of a 4 service Worship Series from the Discipleship Ministries.

Liturgical Resources
Persistence. What does that mean for us in worship? Just the fact that we gather week after week when the community around us doesn’t see the point might be a part of that persistence.
