Title: Statement on Teaching and Action (04/24/'24) -Statement

Title: Statement on Teaching and Action In our interactions with loved ones, it's crucial to understand the balance between teaching and action. Merely speaking words of guidance isn't enough; our actions must align with our words to truly demonstrate our values. The passage "From the top is not easy to kneel down to serve" highlights the humility required for genuine service. We must lead by example, showing through our actions the values we hold dear. Matthew 23:3 advises us to heed teachings but to be wary of those whose actions don't match their words. Similarly, Matthew 23:8-10 reminds us not to seek titles or positions of authority but to recognize the equality among all. Let us refrain from hypocrisy and instead let our actions speak louder than our words. By embodying humility and sincerity, we can effectively guide and lead our loved ones. Signed, Pastor Steven G.
