Faith with action

Today the Lord is teaching us about the strength and power of corporate faith. The friends of the paralytic in Mark 2 "contributed " to his healing by collectively expressing their faith in Jesus and carrying their friend to the master through a creative way. 

It brings to mind, the text which says that faith without action is dead. We need to express our faith through what we do; if we believe God will see us through our studies, then we have to study and work hard. If we believe God for a promotion at work, then we have to be diligent and meticulous at work.

As we express our faith individually, we can then express it together as a community of believers in our church, Bible groups or even as a group of believing friends. Indeed, faith without action is dead.
