How to Respond to God's Word

Preacher: Stephen Conley Series: Stand Alone Topic: God's Word Scripture: James 1:19–25

Text:  James 1:19-25

Listen to the Word Openly (vs. 19-20)

  • Be quick to hear – “I am eager to listen.”
  • Be slow to speak – “I will not make excuses.”
  • Be slow to anger: “I will not justify my disobedience.”

Receive the Word Humbly (vs. 21)

  • Receiving the Word requires putting our sin away.
  • Receiving the Word involves accepting it as salvation for our souls.

Obey the Word Intently (vs. 22-25)

  • A forgetful hearer has been informed by the Word, but not transformed by the Word.
  • A faithful doer has been transformed by the Word to freely live out his identity in Christ.
  • Josiah & Jehoiakim: A Lesson in Responding to God’s Word (2 Kings 22:8-12; Jeremiah 36:1-3, 20-24)
