What are we about?

Waves of Faith is about learning what it means to be a disciple (student) of love with God through Jesus Christ. Jesus sums it up by saying that love is at the heart of who we are and what we do. The reason why we do what we do is merely an outflow of our love relationship with God. To say we know God is to say that we love God. And to say that we love God is to say that we submit to God. And to say that we submit to God is to say that we walk in obedience to his will. There is nothing more impacting than living for an eternal impact through the power of God’s Holy Spirit in our lives.
