James 1:22-27 | May 4, 2025 | Pastor Josh Goertzen
In this powerful message, we're challenged to move beyond merely hearing God's Word to truly living it out. James 1:22-27 serves as our guide, reminding us that being 'doers of the word' is the essence of authentic faith. We're encouraged to look carefully and persevere in God's Word, not just glancing at it like a mirror we quickly forget. The key to this transformation? Growing in our love for Jesus by truly grasping His immense love for us. This isn't about mustering up willpower, but about letting Christ's love fuel our actions. We're called to watch our speech, care for the vulnerable, and remain unstained by the world. These practical steps reflect a faith that's alive and active, mirroring Jesus' own life as the Word made flesh. As we partake in communion, we're invited to rest in the gospel, remembering that our salvation comes not from our own doing, but from Christ's perfect fulfillment of God's Word on our behalf.
