Walking by Faith
Walking by faith as a believer in Jesus Christ is not easy. It was not easy for Paul the apostle, author of this text from 2 Corinthians, who endured much for the sake of the Gospel, ultimately giving his life for Christ. Our walking by faith as modern-day disciples may not go to that extreme; however, it is still no easy thing. Our walking by faith begins with what God in Christ has done for us - the grace and mercy that come through him which call us to faith in the first place. The justification (how we are made right with God) must come before sanctification (growing in holiness) as we become more Christ-like through the power of the Holy Spirit at work in us through Word and Sacrament. In doing so, we are walking by faith.

Grow [a journey towards Christlikeness]: The Word
Spiritual growth has many components to it. But, at least three of those components are essential. In order to be a healthy growing Christian, a person must be vitally connected to the Word of God, the Community of God, and the Spirit of God. Cultivating intimacy with all three is critical. Lack in any of these areas stunts our growth. In this message, we look at the centrality and necessity of the Word in the life of a believer as they are transformed into the image of Christ.
