STOP GOING TO CHURCH: Faith Requires Service (James 1:26-27)

James 1:26–27 reminds us that true faith doesn’t stop at words—it shows up in works. In this message, Faith Requires Service, we see that real religion guards the mouth, gives the heart, and grounds the life. James confronts empty religion that talks but doesn’t walk, calling believers to reflect the Father’s heart by caring for the vulnerable and living with purity in a polluted world. Faith that serves is faith that shines—it speaks life, shows love, and stands firm. This message challenges us to examine whether our faith merely talks about compassion or actually lives it out, because if our faith doesn’t move us, it won’t move anyone else.
