Humble Faith

Choosing Faith

Twentieth Sunday after Pentecost, Year C

How shall we pray? This isn’t the text where that question appears. But it does seem to be behind the parable that Jesus tells.

Faith is a partnership with God as we enter into relationship for our good and the good of the world 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.

Music Notes

Humility grounded in faith, firm on the foundation of Christ, is humility that no longer needs to prove itself. We don’t need to get anything over anyone. We stand secure in that hope and then share out of the joy of belonging. Our worship becomes an invitation to enter into this relationship and to find our identity in Christ and the community. So, we practice our witness to the world as we worship in humble faith.
