The Work of the Word

Sep 24, 2023    Pastor Matt Keller

Ready to see your faith in action? This sermon explores the profound impact of God's Word on our lives as we journey through the book of James, focusing on chapter 1, verses 19-27. We acknowledge that it isn't the role of preachers to alter us but to faithfully share God's Word, which has the power to foster remarkable change in our lives. We discuss how vital it is for believers to understand and listen to God's Word, given its transformative potency.


We take a closer look at Apostle Paul's writings about the Gospel's power and how James uses the term 'Word of Truth' to tie everything together. It's also noteworthy how James aims for the head and heart of believers, intending to make their lives reflect God's kindness and character. As we navigate through this enlightening discussion, we illuminate the significance of managing our speech and emotions, aligning our actions with God's will, and the potential pitfalls when our actions contradict the teachings of the Bible.


In the final part of our sermon, we highlight the importance of not only hearing but also doing God's Word. We touch on the necessity of prayer and evangelism in our spiritual journey. Remember, it's not just about listening to God's Word; it's about letting it resonate within us, prompting us to act in accordance with His will. So, join us in this enriching conversation that promises to deepen your understanding of God's Word and its influence on our lives.
