Theme: Christian Living, EFCA SOF Article #8
"We believe that God's justifying grace must not be separated from His sanctifying power and purpose. God commands us to love Him supremely and others sacrificially, and to live out our faith with care for one another, compassion toward the poor, and justice for the oppressed. With God’s Word, the Spirit’s power, and fervent prayer in Christ’s name, we are to combat the spiritual forces of evil. In obedience to Christ’s commission, we are to make disciples among all people, always bearing witness to the gospel in word and deed." -- Article #8 - EFCA Statement of Faith
- What does it mean to live as a Christian?
- What is the relationship between justification and sanctification?
- How do Christians live out our faith in an increasingly hostile culture?
This year at Stay Sharp, using the Scripture as our inerrant guide and article #8 of the EFCA Statement of Faith as a key tool, Greg Strand will help us grow in an area of doctrine about which we've received the most requests for further teaching.
