Lazarus Life: The Voice of Love, Seminarian Nate Speerbrecker
3 words. They made all the difference in Lazarus’ life. They transformed him from lifeless, helpless, trapped in a tomb into a new life of freedom. And all it took was three words. Today, as we continue our journey through the story of Lazarus, we consider what was so amazing about those words- it wasn’t a magic phrase, it was the voice that spoke them. It was the voice of love, calling out to Lazarus, transforming him from death to life. And that same voice can bring transformation in our lives as well, the voice that can move us from death to life is also capable of bringing freedom in our daily life where we work, live, and play.

3 Words that Changed Everything
"Lazarus, come out"
The Voice of Doubt
"Am I loved?"
"Am I loved?"
The Voice of Love
“When we have come to believe in the voices that call us worthless and unlovable, then success, popularity, and power are easily perceived as attractive solutions. The real trap, however, is self-rejection. Self-rejection is the greatest enemy of the spiritual life because it contradicts the sacred voice that calls us the “Beloved”.”

http://faithstl.org/messages/WAYS TO GIVE
We believe God wants to position Faith to be a generous body of believers able to invest in missional ministry where we live, work, play and beyond; wherever God leads us to bless those who need the Gospel. Faith members and regular attenders are on a journey to discover what it means to move from being blessed to blessing others. We give with gratitude in response to God’s grace and sacrificial love in Jesus, who already has met our deepest needs. He works through the sacrifice and generosity of His people to meet the needs of others and to fuel the mission of His church to make disciples.
