So, As we as we dive in, we're going to be in starting in verse
19, 19, through 27. And before before we get in, I

If you're able this morning, if you're stand for the reading of
God's word, will once again be in the Book of James chapter 1.
And we will begin in verse 19. What our God says?
No this my beloved Brothers let every person be quick to hear
slow to speak. Slow to anger.
For the anger of man. Does not produce the
righteousness of God, therefore put away all filthiness and
Rapid wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted
word, which is able to save your souls.
But be doers of the word and not hearers only deceiving
yourselves for if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a
doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in
a mirror for he looks at himself and goes away and at once
forgets, what he was like, but the one who looks into the
perfect law, the law of Liberty and perseveres being no here,
who forgets, but a doer who acts, he will be.
His doing. If anyone thinks he is religious
and does not Bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this
person's religion is worthless religion.
That is pure and undefiled before God, the father, is this
to visit orphans and widows in their Affliction and to keep
oneself unstained from the world.
Let's once again, pray this morning, Father I thank Thank
you, and I magnify your name. Father, as we began to expound
to open your word to unpack. Everything that says in these
verses in this in this chapter of James chapter one, father, I
just ask that you will move Upon Our Hearts and move on our
minds. Father, may we hear?
With ears and see with eyes of the spirit this morning, not
with the flesh. Father, help us to receive.
Eagerly. Followed this morning, your word
and I father, I ask that you will give me the words to say,
allow them to hear you and not me this morning, I pray.
Amen, maybe see, thank you. what the main idea of this morning,
that I want to present before you Is by doing it by being a
doer of God's implanted word, we work together with the Holy
Spirit. To live out the sanctification
process. By being a doer of God's
implanted word. We work together with the Holy
Spirit to live out the sanctification process.
In 1:19 James turns, to the main point, he wants to make in his
letter that create Christianity is not.
Just about believing certain things or claiming to have
faith. It is having your life
transformed by the gospel. In other words, being a
Christian is not just about hearing God's word but also
doing it. Of course, that doesn't mean
that here in the word isn't important, a mind that is
Discontent full of its own opinions and not ready to
listen. We're not be able to receive
God's word, but once the word is received, it must be put into
action. That finally is the mark of a
Christian as Christians. We should not only hear the word
of God but also put it in practice.
So this is the main point, we finally get to the main point.
Point of what James is wanting to speak to us here in his book
that that we need to be transformed by the gospel.
And this. And if you recognize, if you
recognize what a just read, this is from our study in the Book of
James. If you are on in home groups,
you may recognize what I just read that.
When it says, a mind that is discontent full of its own
opinions and not ready to listen.
Will not be able to receive God's word.
In the book of. Book of Proverbs, that tells us
that A full only wants to hear his own opinions.
A full will only speak the out. He is, he doesn't want to
listen. He only wants to speak what his
own opinions. So for us to be able to receive
the word of God, To receive that implanted word of God, we must
be able to receive that without our opinions, getting in the
way. When we read God's word.
Our opinion doesn't matter. God's word.
God's word says what God's word says?
It doesn't matter what our opinion says.
Sometimes people, you know, find scriptures and I've joked about
this before. But sometimes people find
scriptures they call black marks.
A lot scriptures where they want to get a black permanent marker
and write through that scripture.
And they want to they like everything else they read, but
they didn't like that, so they just going to mark it out.
Well, you know that won't work. We have to receive it all.
Amen. So our opinion doesn't matter.
Only thing that matters is God's word.
Our opinion isn't worth a hill of beans.
That's why we have to look into that mirror, amen.
So we have to receive here, receive the word of God and then
we put it into practice. Now.
Let's take a few minutes to review what we've already
learned in here in the book of James.
The first week, Alan did a wonderful job of T in this
series up here in the first part of James we read and we learned
about the process of steadfastness And how does this
happen in during trials with joy?
According to James 1:2, how many knows that phrase in during
trials? With joy, is what I call an
oxymoron, they don't go together, trials and joy.
No trials is one of the Christian dirty words, trials
suffering, you know, those are you know dirty words sometimes
to a lot of people because I don't want it they want to hear
about God's love and God's grace which is that's all that's true.
But they don't want to know about.
They don't want to think about the process of getting to that
better place. Wednesday night at home groups,
I've mentioned a message, I heard a long time ago and the
title of the message was a city called good.
And in the message, the pastor that I had at the time was
preaching this message of how that lots of Tom's Walking with
God, we get to a really good place, a place of comfort
oblate, place of contentment. And what happens is, lots of
times. We want to settle right there,
but God is always pushing us. God is always pushing us to go
farther, and he has a better place for us to go.
But lots of times we as Christians, we don't want to go
to that better place because of our content where we're at.
We're in a good place. Why miss something good up to
take a step of faith. We feel God's leading.
We feel God's direction to go to that better place, but we're
hey, we're content. I'm, I'm content.
There were there were two and a half tribes that decided they
didn't want to go into the promised land because they were
content where they were at on on their side of Jordan.
They they had they went they had to go and and help the other
tribes, clear the lamb. But after it was done they came
back. They made a deal with Moses.
They didn't want to go, they play they pleaded with him, you
read the scriptures. They said basically They begged
them not to make us go across the Jordan said we found this.
This good land or cattle is here.
Where content? Yeah.
God has this Promised Land over there, but we don't want to go
there. We want to stay where we're Rat
and they did. They got their good place but
they didn't get the better place and lots of times.
We as Christians we're in that same process that we can be at a
good place, but God wants to push us further into that better
place. and one of the things he uses his trials, So in during
trials with joy, how is this accomplished accomplished
through faith? A tested Faith produces.
Steadfastness. That's the only thing that will
produce that fastens on life is a tested Faith.
This word steadfastness here in James means to Terry behind to
remain, or to abide. Means to persevere under
misfortunes and trials and to hold fast to one's faith in
Christ. So are tested faith.
Produces steadfastness. So there's one of those things.
Be careful what you pray for, you want to, you want to, you
want to Jesus said, In John 10:10.
He gave he gave to mission statements.
He gave the mission statement of our adversary the devil.
Then he gave his own mission statement.
He said, the Devil Comes, the thief comes only to steal kill
and destroy. And then, he said, I have come
to give you life and life, abundantly, our life to the full
two, distinct promises, He came to give us life.
He came to give us salvation, but he also came so that in that
life of Salvation, we can live. Abundantly, we can live to the
full in him. So, we have the choice, we can
either live. We can be saved and lived.
Beautiful lives. Always struggling with something
or we can live in an abundant life in a life to the full, but
it's up to us. We have to allow God to push us
into that better place. and then we find out that says, if any
lacks wisdom, Let a mass. What?
Why do we need that wisdom? We need that wisdom to endure
those trials. How do you?
What comes about the steadfastness?
The wisdom is that we remain and we abide in Christ.
John 15 verses 1 through 5 says this.
I am the True Vine and my father is the vinedresser.
Every branch in me that does not bear fruit.
He takes away and every branch that does bear fruit, he prunes
this prune prunes in this pruning is the trial that that
trials that we go through that, it may bear more fruit.
Already, you are clean. I get this already.
Are you clean? Because of the word.
I have spoken to you. So, the pruning process isn't
salvation. You've already cling.
The pruning process is getting this to that better place.
Abide in me and I in you as the branch cannot bear fruit by
itself. Unless it abides in the vine,
neither, can you unless you abide in me?
I am the vine. You are the branches, whoever
abides in me and I in him he is it that bears much fruit for
apart from me, you can do nothing.
So when we seek wisdom by abiding in Christ, We produce
fruit. And one of those fruits is
steadfastness under trial. So count it all joy.
That's why we can count it all joy.
Amen. it says in verse 4, that when we endure trials that that
the stet, the steadfastness produces three things, That we
will be perfect complete. Lacking nothing.
This word perfect means brought to its end or finished or
full-grown. It's mature.
The word complete means complete in all its parts.
A body without blemish in the phrase, lacking nothing.
Means to lag or be inferior. So, the steadfast is under trial
produces in US of maturity. A body that was that's without
blemish and we're not inferior. We are superior.
Amen. I've said this before.
A room should be better when we walk into it because we take
Christ with us a man. So a room should be better if
you walk into that room. Some, you know, I've said this
before to some rooms are better when someone leaves but we are
room should be better for us walking into that room.
Amen. Because we crack, we carry
Christ with us. Everywhere we go.
And then last week, Steve. also, did a wonderful job of teaching
about How the man who stand steadfast as blessed according
to James 1:12? And why?
Because of his endurance? He were not be lured Away by
temptation. By abiding in Christ his abiding
in Christ. Allows him not to fall prey to
his own desire to look for help in something else.
Other than God, James chapter 1, verses 14, and 15 says that each
man, each one of us has drawn away and enticed by our own
desire and then When sin when that when that enticement we
give in and bring it brings forth the sin and then When sin
is finished, it brings forth death.
How do we resist that? We resist that bastard being
steadfast so blessed and happy is the man who remains steadfast
under trial and does not take the temptation to give in to
something else, to help him. Feel better about his trials,
whatever that temptation is. Lots of times, we think of, you
know, alcohol and drugs. It could be, you know, a sport.
It could be a hobby. It could be a relationship.
Anything that you, you, you go to that.
That's your piece. And you, you seek that because
it gives you a peace that rely on.
God, doesn't give you you make that Temptation.
You make that your God. Thus.
You're worshiping another God, which is idolatry.
So anything we put above God that we look to that to give us
peace and Tranquility that rely on.
God doesn't give us is a sin. And we need that was of the
things that according to Hebrews 12:1, we need to lay down a man.
when you are joyful During trials and remain steadfast to
not be lured into sin for Action, you are being a doer of
the implanted word of God, so count it all joy.
When we, when we go through various trials, because it makes
us complete, perfect complete, and lacking, nothing.
We're blessed as we heard last week.
Because we are steadfast and we don't succumb to those
Temptations. so, this week, I posed the question.
How does my trials help me to be a doer of God's word?
Remember you have to you have to take this all in constant
content in context that this is not separate from what we've
already read in James chapter 1. This is all in context.
So how does my trials when she to think about this morning?
How does your trials help you to be a doer of God's word?
Well let's let's once again read here in James chapter 1 verses
19 to 27. It says, no, this my beloved
Brothers, let every person be quick to hear slow to speak,
slow to anger for the anger of man does not produce the
righteousness of God, therefore put away all filthiness and
rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted
word, which is able to save your souls.
But being, but be doers of the word and not hearers only
deceiving yourselves. For anyone is a hearer of the
word and not a doer. He is like a man who looks
intently at his natural face. Looks intently at his natural
face in a mirror for. He looks at himself and goes
away and at once forgets what he was like.
But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of Liberty
and perseveres being no here, who forgets.
But a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.
If anyone thinks he is religious and does not Bridle his tongue
but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless
religion. That is pure and undefiled
before God, the father is this To visit orphans and widows in
their Affliction and to keep oneself unstained from the
world. So what do we what do our
trials, teach us. So what do I do, trials?
Teach us. The first thing is to be quick
to hear This this phrase quick to hear means to consider what
is being said. And the word consider means to
think about carefully. So it's it's not just hearing,
but you think about what you're hearing?
You're slow to speak. I can say my mouth gets me in
trouble. Sometimes, amen.
Anybody else have that problem that we speak before we pour, we
think. We say it, and we'd like thing
is once it comes out, you can never take it back a man, slow
to speak and slow to anger. This is a process of enduring
trials. We didn't during the trials,
create steadfastness in a steadfastness of what abiding in
Christ. and through that state passed since we become perfect
complete and lacking nothing, And in that process this is what
we're being taught quick to hear slow to speak, slow to anger.
So we should be When we hear we should be hearing to consider
and think carefully about what we're hearing before we speak.
And then slow to anger. And this this anger here in this
this text means a violent passion and implies punishment.
So man, this this anger is violent.
And we want to punish because of our anger and lots of times,
we're here something someone wrote, you know, ruffle are
feathers and we want to react We want to say something.
You man. I remember a Tom. and me, and my
wife were sitting in with pastor, we had our town, Across
the table with another couple. That the husband was.
He was a very deceitful man. and he had done some things that was
very hurting and the pastor we had, he had in Good Intentions
after after some time, he realized his You know.
His wrongness in the situation, but he was wanting us to
reconcile. And, you know, I can, honestly
say sitting there, I was very choosy with my words.
But what I wanted to do was take a shovel on, hit him upside the
head and bury the body. That's what I would want to do
at that moment. and, But God used that.
In my wife and I was life. That whole circus that happened.
He used us. He used that.
God made it good. According to Romans chapter 8,
it wasn't good in the moment. There's things that we go
through in life, that they're not good at the moment.
That's not what the verse says. But God uses it for good.
Amen. So quick to hear slow to speak,
slow to anger. And why?
Because the scripture says man's anger does not produce the
righteousness of God. Man's anger does not produce the
righteousness of God. So, what does being a doer of
God's word will produce the righteousness of God?
So how do we do this? We put away all filthiness and
Rapid wickedness. This rampant wickedness.
Is a spreading unchecked wickedness by, not abiding.
In Christ. We're not, we're not being
steadfast. We want to react, we want to do.
We want to, we want to punish We've been we've been hurt.
We've been wronged. and we want to, we want to lash out, we want
to react but learning steadfastness under trial.
We learn what Proverbs says and and the James Jones version says
yes, A wise man knows when to keep his mouth shut.
A wise man, knowest, when to keep his mouth shut.
And we need to learn when to keep her mouth shut.
And I believe that this is what its reference in here in a
double-minded man, earlier on in James because the scripture says
that he should not think that he will see receive anything from
God. James chapter 1, verses 5 6, 7 &
8, speaks of the unstable, man when you ask for wisdom.
But don't you have to ask without doubting?
Because a man who doubts is double-minded, he's tossed to
and fro and he'll and he's in the Bible.
The scripture says that man. Shouldn't think he will receive
anything from God. So, we cannot be double-minded
and we have to be steadfast. It says that we have to receive
with meekness the implanted word of God.
And it's implanted word of God Saves your.
So let's let's look back at this.
We often we talked about this at home groups, we talked about it
in the past, past weeks, that James lots of times.
People will say James is all about Works talks about save
salvation by works. he says here in verse Let's see.
Now, I can't find it. Diverse first 21, therefore put
away all filthiness and Rapid wickedness and receive with
meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your
souls. This blows the concept that
James teaches salvation by works out of the water.
The implanted word James says, Is what saves your soul?
And it's through the sanctification brought to us and
in Us, by the holy spirit, being a doer of God's word is us
working with the Holy Spirit. John 15 verse verse 2.
We just read. It says every branch in me that
does not bear fruit, he takes away and every branch that does
bear fruit, he prunes that it may bear more fruit.
So as we work with the Holy Spirit in the sanctification
process, remember we are justified by Christ.
We are we are saved but the sanctification process that can
take us into life to the full. Is a is a daily for a lifespan
of allowing the Holy Spirit. To sanctifies.
If we bear fruit, as we are being Sanctified, we go through
the pruning process. So, trials, prune, us and make
us more christ-like. We bear more fruit.
We look more like the image of Jesus in the mirror.
Let's speak of let's look at that.
Mirror says one, when we look into that mirror Calls it, the
perfect law, that's what James calls.
It the law of Liberty. In the ESV Study Bible.
It says this, that in James, the law and the word are two
different ways of describing the same reality earlier.
The word of Truth in verse 18, is the gospel of Christ and the
law here refers to the Old Testament law.
As it has been interpreted in fulfilled in Christ though, the
Old Testament law did not liberate God's people but
enslaved them. As Paul tall, but the law is one
of Liberty. When it comes along with the
word of word of the gospel and the power of the Holy Spirit to
change Hearts. Matthew Henry says this the
rider shows that the proper use of the word of God is.
Excuse me, the rider shows what the proper use of the word of
God is who they are, who do not use it as they should.
And Who they are, who make right use of it.
The use we are to make of God's word maybe learn from it's being
compared to a mirror in which someone looks at their face.
Just as a mirror shows us the spots and blemishes on our face.
So the word of God shows us our sins.
It shows us what is wrong. So it may be be put, right?
When we give our attention to the word of God.
So as to see are true, State and condition, and dress ourselves
are fresh by the mirror of God's word, we make proper use of it.
He continues here. He says, we have here.
An account of those who do not use the mirror of the word of
they should, we hear God's word and look into the gospel mirror
in vain. If we go away and forget our
blemishes and forget the remedy which is the Gospel of Jesus
Christ, this is the case of those who do not listen to the
word as they should. He continues again, the law, the
gospel is a law of Freedom, the law of Liberation, whereas the
ceremonial law was a burden of slavery, it is a perfect law.
And in here in the word we look into this perfect law.
We look into the law Freedom as we should only, when we continue
their in those who do this, who continue in the law and word of
God. You are and shall be blessed in
their deed. This blessedness does not lie
knowing the will of God but enduring it.
He says this is ending. It is not talking but walking It
is not talking, but walking. Is walking out our Salvation,
amen. And then let's look at the last
two verses here in James chapter, 1 verses 26 and 27.
Says that if anyone thinks he is religious and does not Bridle
his tongue. But deceives his heart, this
person's religion religion is worthless religion.
That is pure and undefiled before God, the father, is this
to visit orphans and widows in their Affliction and to keep
oneself unstained from the world.
So James is summary here, is that?
We are to be living out that the blessed life, he once again.
Talks about our tongue. He says, Bridle your tongue.
This means to God, to hold in, check to restrain your words,
which takes us back to being slow to hear, and slow to speak.
He mentions a worthless religion which means the void of forced
devoid of Truth, useless of no power to be a doer of the word.
A doer received, the implanted word of God here did not and
it's a heart. Truth that we receive.
He finishes up here talking about pure religion, religion,
that is pure and undefiled before God, the father, is this,
to visit orphans and widows in their Affliction and to keep
oneself unstained from the world. in the Old Testament, it
was a huge part of God's Direction on caring for the
fatherless and caring for the widows and exodus 22:22.
You can read. You shall not mistreat any widow
or fatherless child. Isaiah chapter 1, verse 17 says
learn to do good seek Justice, correct.
Depression bring Justice to the fatherless plead, the Widow's
calls. Psalm 146 verse 9 says this, the
Lord watches over the serger nur's, he upholds, the Widow and
the fatherless but the Way of the Wicked he brings to ruin.
And now wanted to read something out of our study book in the
Book of James. That once again we're doing at
home groups, if you're not a part of Home groups I encourage
you to do so if you're not in you would like more information.
Get with Alan. Get with Steve you with myself
and we will help you plug into our home group that we meet
every every week on Wednesday nights and someone's home, we
eat a meal together and then we discuss God's word.
You are fine. This in our study book on page
32. It says, one of God's most
celebrated characteristics in the Old Testament is his
particular concern for those who are the most helpless moreover.
Because he shows that kind of concern, he expects his people
to do the same. We can see this very clearly in
Deuteronomy chapter 10 verse 18 and 19.
Speaking of God, Moses says he executes judgment Justice for
the fatherless and the Widow. He loves the surgenor given him
food and clothing. And that description of God is
followed immediately by this command.
Love the serger. Nur therefore, For You Were
Strangers in the land of Egypt. The point is simple, but
crucial, the people of God should be like God.
So our goal as we have studied have studied and continue to
study here. In the Book of James is to Start
off. Understanding what trials do for
us. And if we understand that, then
we can look at it with the with the Outlook of we can count it
all joy because we know that somehow God is going to make it
for good. So our goal should be God's goal
for our lives, and that goal is to be changed into His Image.
Second Corinthians chapter 3, verse 17 and 18 says this Now,
the Lord is the spirit and where the spirit of the Lord is there
is freedom. And we all with unveiled face
beholding, the glory of the Lord are being transformed into the
same image from one degree of Glory to another.
For this comes from the Lord, who is the spirit Trials,
coupled with abiding in Christ and his word, the implanted word
of God helps us to live out the sanctification process of the
Holy Spirit. So I want to encourage everyone.
When you go through your trials and we all know as a church
body, we're going through a massive trial right now with the
passing weenie. Kate.
That we suffer and we grieve with Colin Patricia and their
family. I want to encourage you to stand
firm, just an absolute. and as Paul wrote in Ephesians chapter
6, verse 13 and 14, there's a phrase that says And having done
all to stand. You stand.
You stand there for girded with the armor of God.
So sometimes all we can do is all we can do and then we stand
upon the word of God. Amen, we endure.
We stead we stay steadfast We Stand, we don't allow trials to
move us. We don't allow the situations in
our life to cause us to give in to Temptation.
We live that blessed life of hearing God's word.
And see in it. And the longer we look into that
mirror as we ran this morning, We are changed into that image,
the image of Christ. That's what that's what it were
is. Ritz representing the image of
Christ. So the more we look into that
mirror and look intently into his law.
His word we are being changed. Little bit by little bit
According to second Corinthians 3 into that image.
Amen. Let's stand and let, lets let's
pray this morning. Father, I thank you for this
day. I thank you for your word.
I thank you for the people that are here this morning.
Father, I know that whoever is here.
Our is not here by accident. so father, I just asked father,
that you are help us. To look into your word to stay
steadfast in you to abide in you to not.
Let trials. Move us.
Follow that word there and James 1:14 lured means to be lured
away from a safe place. Father, the Temptation that we
all suffer won't when we go through, trials is to be moved
away from our rightful place with you.
To be lured away. So that we will not experience
that. the life that you intended for us to experience, father,
you have a life of joy and peace.
Help us father to remain steadfast.
Help us father to look into your word, help us work with the Holy
Spirit to be changed into that image that image of Christ that
we see through an in your word. Father help us not be content to
stay at a place just because it's a good place.
Cuz father, you have a better place for us.
Help us. Always be working with the Holy
Spirit. Holy Spirit.
I asked that you would just lead and guide and direct us in our
lives. For Christ said, you are a
teacher. You are a God that you would
teach us all trees. Help us to hear and receive
those truth help us to set aside our own opinions.
And only trust in God's implanted word.
This morning. I just want to.
I just want to say that there is anyone here?
That you've heard. The truth of God's word, but
you're not doing it. You haven't received that
implanted word that saves your soul.

after service. And I will, I will talk, I would
discuss with you. Jesus, we just praise you.
