Word and deed are equally necessary, mutually interdependent and inseparable ministries, each carried out with the single purpose of the spread of the kingdom of God. You might call it necessary symbiosis of both ministries, what we do and say, but sometimes it is very hard to keep them in balance.

Mercy (deed) and evangelism (word) is like smoke and fire – where one is, the other must be near.

Join us this Sunday at Lakeview Community Church for the next message in the series by Pastor Paul Kozar called Hope: Before and After Heaven.

Our reading this week will come from 1 Peter 4:7-11

7The end of all things is near. Therefore be clear minded and self-controlled so that you can pray. 8Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. 9Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. 10Each one should use whatever gift he has received to serve others, faithfully administering God’s grace in its various forms. 11If anyone speaks, he should do it as one speaking the very words of God. If anyone serves, he should do it with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
