Be Doers of the Word (Part 1) // James 1:21-22

James shares one of the most important verses in the Bible, telling us plainly that salvation isn't just about hearing God's Word, but acting on it. This message urges us to reflect on whether we're merely accumulating knowledge or truly allowing God's Word to change our lives. It's a sobering reminder that self-deception is a real danger, and that the evidence of our faith is found in our obedience to Christ.

DISCUSSION / REFLECTION QUESTIONS:

In what ways might compartmentalizing our faith hinder our spiritual growth, particularly in areas like anger management and communication?

In what ways might we be at risk of self-deception when it comes to our spiritual lives, particularly in relation to Bible knowledge versus obedience?

How does Jesus define a true Christian according to the sermon? How does this challenge or affirm your understanding?

What is the relationship between grace and obedience in the Christian life, and how can we maintain a healthy balance between the two?

Reflect on the difference between occasionally doing God's Word and being characterized as a "doer of the Word." What might this look like in everyday life?
