Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What happens when God's Word moves from our ears to our hearts?
In this message from James 1:19-27, Pastor James Douglas challenges us to examine whether we're merely hearing Scripture or actually allowing it to transform our lives. James reminds us that spiritual maturity is not measured by how much Bible knowledge we possess, but by our obedience to what God has said.
Through practical teaching, we'll explore how receiving God's Word changes our response to others, reshapes the words we speak, and opens our eyes to the people God cares about. Along the way, we'll confront the dangers of anger, self-deception, and a culture fueled by outrage, while discovering the blessing that comes from living out the truth we hear.
The goal of discipleship isn't simply knowing more about Jesus. It's becoming more like Him.
