James 1:17-27 offers a deeper understanding of faith in action. The passage emphasized listening to God’s word and putting it into practice, including controlling anger and serving others.
The message encourages us to:
Acknowledge God’s gifts: Everything we have is a gift from God.
Listen and learn: Be quick to listen and slow to speak.
Control anger: Resist the temptation to react angrily.
Serve others: Actively participate in serving our community.
Following Sunday’s Worship Service, several of us went out to feed our friends on the street. The line of people waiting for food was a testament to the need and the blessing that the church’s service provided.
This act of service mirrored Jesus’ example of going into the community rather than waiting for people to come to him. It was encouraging to see other churches also participating in this ministry, demonstrating a shared commitment to serving our community. This served as a reminder that we are not alone in our efforts and that God is with us in our shared mission.
Thank you to everyone who participated, whether through your monetary gifts or your hands and feet.
