[Sermon] Faith That Works Through Love + October 5, 2025 + Trinity Lutheran Church & Schools

Sermon for October 5, 2025 Pastor Hector Garfias-Toledo Trinity Lutheran Church & Schools +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Faith That Works Through Love | +------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Jesus reminds the disciples that even faith the size of a mustard seed is enough to move deep-rooted things. Faith, he teaches, is not about willpower or quantity, but about trust in the God whose power flows through us. Pastor Hector invites us to see faith not as something we possess, but as something that energizes love in action. When our faith is rooted in God, it becomes the channel through which grace, mercy, and healing reach a broken world. True faith acts—not by striving harder, but by allowing God’s love to work through us. +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ | Living Generously, Loving Boldly | | Week 1 : Faith That Acts | +-------------------------------------------------------------------------------+ Our fall stewardship journey begins with the reminder that even the smallest seed of faith carries life-changing power. The psalmist urges us to trust in the Lord, while Jesus teaches that a mustard seed of faith can move mountains. This day calls us to act, to see faith not as a possession but as a living force that grows with practice. Through word, song, and prayer, we begin to imagine how our everyday acts of generosity ripple outward as God’s love at work in the world.
