But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem and

in all Judea, Samaria, and to the end of the earth.

ORIGIN CHURCH A church plant seeking to create a faith community that is based in the University of British Columbia region and striving to reach students and their families to make disciples of Christ

God’s Work — Your HandsGod’s work can be accomplished through you. You can pray, you can give, and you can join in the work. God is calling you. Will you respond to this call to make a connection? Because every soul will spend eternity in hell or in heaven, will you share God’s love and the importance of a personal relationship with Jesus?

What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works?

Can that faith save him? If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily

food, and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without

giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead.

JAMES 2:14-17
