## Resource

Most of us have heard God’s Word many times. We know the verses, we recognize the language, and we’re familiar with what Scripture says. But hearing alone isn’t the goal. James reminds us that God’s Word is meant to shape how we live, not just what we know. In James 1:19–27, we’re challenged to move beyond listening and into obedience. This sermon follows James’ clear progression: hearing God’s Word, accepting it with humility, and then putting it into action. Using everyday examples like mirrors, speech, and practical care for others, James shows what genuine faith looks like when it takes root in real life. Join us as we consider what it means to let God’s Word truly sink in—and to live it out in ways that reflect Christ to the world around us. Recorded Sunday, February 1st, 2026Message by Pastor Tim WardScripture: James 1:19-27
