Faith
Our Calling: God’s Story Continues With Us
Faith Facts
- The resurrection marks a powerful new beginning, calling believers into ongoing mission.
- Jesus’ commission is for all Christians, sending us into the world with the power of the Holy Spirit.
- Acts of faith—large or small—are multiplied by God as part of His greater story.
The story of Christ is ongoing, calling us to love boldly and serve others beyond mere belief. Christians are instructed to move outward in faith, empowered by God’s Spirit, and to answer His call daily.
As Scripture reveals, “As the Father has sent me, I am sending you” (John 20:21).
The mission of Christ is not limited to special individuals but is the foundation of every believer’s identity. God equips His people for this calling through forgiveness and the indwelling Holy Spirit.
“You will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses … to the ends of the earth” (Acts 1:8).
God’s grace and strength are what sustain and empower missions, not human achievement. Isaiah’s humble response, “Here am I; send me” (Isaiah 6:8), is only possible after cleansing and forgiveness.
In practical terms, churches across the UK demonstrate how ordinary acts of obedience—such as welcoming refugees or reaching new communities—can transform lives and communities by God’s hand.
“Surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age” (Matthew 28:20).
Mission work happens everywhere, not just abroad—wherever God’s people encounter need, kindness and truth bring Christ’s love into the world. Scripture offers guidance to seek the Spirit’s renewal, move toward those in need, and let gospel words and actions combine for God’s glory.
“Not by might nor by power, but by my Spirit,” declares the Lord (Zechariah 4:6).
Let us prayerfully ask God to send us, trusting that every offering done in His name bears eternal significance. As God’s people, we continue the story of Christ’s hope, healing, and reconciliation in our communities today.
