Summary

Living out loud in love and humility means prioritising acts of service, demonstrating love through actions, and reflecting authentic faith. After all, actions speak louder than words in love. Discover how to align your actions with your beliefs and make a positive impact on the lives of others. Reflect on the changes you can make to ensure that your actions are an authentic reflection of your faith.

Bible Reading: Romans 12:11-13

¹¹ Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically.^[a] 12 Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. ¹³ When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality.

Introduction – Living Out Loud in Love and Humility

If you had the cure for cancer, you wouldn’t keep it to yourself, would you? You’d want to share it with as many people as you could.

In the same way, our faith isn’t one we simply practice behind the closed doors of our churches or homes. Our faith is a public testimony, practised in the public square. Because actions speak louder than words in love, we must live out loud in love and humility. This means rejecting the world’s temptation to prioritise status, buildings, and numbers over genuine worship and service. It’s about shifting our focus from a consumer mentality to that of a worshipper, from publicity to true ministry.

Shifting Our Focus

Paul calls us to serve the Lord enthusiastically, to rejoice in hope, to be patient in trials, and constant in prayer. When we apply these principles, our lives become an offering to God—a testament to the transformative power of his love.

Actions Speak Louder Than Words in Love

Each moment of our day presents an opportunity to live out loud in faith and action. When we serve others with enthusiasm, when we extend patience during trials, and when we uplift others through prayer, we exemplify Christ’s radical love.
