Belief is doing, not just saying you think something is true. It's not just nice words; it's action. The writer of James said, "If a brother or sister is naked and lacks daily food and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace; keep warm and eat your fill,' and yet you do not supply their bodily needs, what is the good of that? So faith by itself, if it has no works, is dead."

Faith is alive at Grandview. Many of our ministries focus on meeting people's most basic needs: food, housing, and good health. Recently, some Grandview folks have become involved in a community partnership to rehabilitate a house damaged by fire--to turn it back into a family home. Their work was featured in this story and video from the local paper.

How is your faith revealed in your daily life? How can you make an impact that reflects the love of Jesus Christ?

We're delighted to announce that the Rev. Dr. Ron Sider will be our preacher on Sunday, Jan. 25.   He is Distinguished Professor of Theology, Holistic Ministry & Public Policy at Palmer Theological Seminary.  His book ”Rich Christians in an Age of Hunger“was listed among the top 100 books in religion in the 20th century by Christianity Today. An ordained minister in the Mennonite and Brethren in Christ Churches, Ron has lectured at numerous educational institutions, including Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Oxford.  Among evangelical Christians, he has been a voice for just living.  He is the founder and president emeritus of Evangelicals for Social Action.
