Faith, forgiveness, and action are inseparable in the life of a believer. In Luke 17, the disciples cry out, “Increase our faith,” recognizing how difficult it is to live with genuine obedience and continual forgiveness. Jesus responds not by giving them more faith, but by revealing that even the smallest seed of living faith—rooted in God’s power—can accomplish the impossible. True faith does not demand recognition or reward; it simply obeys, serves, and trusts. Jesus reminds us that humble service and steadfast obedience are the natural expressions of a heart devoted to God.
In Philemon 17–25, Paul demonstrates how faith becomes action through radical forgiveness. He calls Philemon to receive Onesimus not as a slave, but as a beloved brother in Christ. Paul offers to take on any debt owed, a powerful reflection of Christ’s own sacrifice for our sins. This act of reconciliation models the heart of the Gospel—restoration, grace, and unity through love.
On World Communion Sunday, we remember that believers around the world share one faith, one table, and one Savior. The bread and the cup unite us beyond borders, languages, and denominations as we celebrate Christ’s forgiveness and our shared mission to love and serve others. This is a time of reflection and renewal—a moment to examine our hearts and ensure our faith is alive with action.
Radical forgiveness requires grace. Humble faith demands surrender. Intense action calls for courage. Together, they form a life fully committed to Christ—a life that forgives, serves, and lives out the Gospel with power and authenticity.

Challenge Statement
It is time to move from belief to action—to forgive as Christ forgave you, to serve without seeking praise, and to live with a faith so alive that the world cannot help but see Jesus in you.
