Live Differently

What does it mean to truly “walk your talk” as a follower of Jesus? In this sermon, Pastor Tom unpacks how our outward actions reveal our inner faith, character, and beliefs. Using Maya Angelou’s words—"When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time"—and Jesus’ teachings, including the parable of the two sons, we see that faith is more than words—it’s deeds. From forgiveness and service to patience and self-control, God calls us to live authentically, consistently, and in step with the Holy Spirit. This message challenges us to demonstrate love, joy, peace, and faithfulness in everyday life, showing others the reality of Christ through our actions.
