Do not be hearers only but doers of the Word by Light House Harlow
I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Wednesday morning, the 18th of February, 2026, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. We go to the Gospel of Matthew 27:57-58: “Now when evening had come, there came a rich man from Arimathea, named Joseph, who himself had also become a disciple of Jesus. This man went to Pilate and asked for the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be given to him.” I want to speak to you today about being doers of the word. Today is a special day today in our lives! My wife, Jill and I and our family, on this day, 47 years ago, we bowed the knee, and we gave our lives to Jesus Christ, a wonderful day for us. We were in a little church in the Main Street of Greytown, the little town which is 15 kms away from the farm, but that day, the minister didn't preach, there were laymen and women preaching the Gospel, just like Joseph of Arimathea. He wasn't a priest - no, he was a businessman, and that day we saw businessmen, housewives, builders, mechanics come forward and tell the congregation what Christ had done for them, and for the first time in my life I saw tears running down their faces. Our marriage was in a mess, and we came to Jesus and He restored us. My relationship with my children was shattered, and we came to Jesus, and He changed our lives. After we had finished, it was a wonderful sermon. I didn't see any shots of lightning, I didn't hear any thunder, but I knew in my heart that I had given my life to Christ. We came home, Jill and I, and sat in the garden to have a cup of tea together, a car rolled up and out came an electrician, and he said, “I was in the service today, and I saw that you went forward and gave your lives to Christ. I said, “Yes, I did.” He said, “I want to challenge you to tell the first three people you meet and tell them what you did today”. I said, “I will,” and I did the next day. On the way to a stock sale, myself and Ian Walls, I said, “Ian, something happened to me yesterday.” He said, “What?” I said, “I gave my life to Christ.” That was the beginning of my work for Jesus Christ which I have never stopped since then.What about you? When was the last time you told a person that you gave your life to Christ? Maybe you say, “Angus, I never have. I have always loved God but I have never had the opportunity. Why don't you do it now? Pray this prayer after me:Dear Lord Jesus,Just like Joseph of Arimathea, I am an ordinary working man and today I surrender my life to You. I give You everything.Forgive me for my sinful life, but from today and onwards, I want to put You first and foremost in my life. In Jesus name, amen.God bless you, and go out and tell the first three people that you meet. Goodbye.

Many Christians hear the Word — through sermons, Bible reading, devotionals, or teaching — but James reminds us that spiritual growth isn't found in hearing alone. True discipleship is seen when we obey Scripture and live out what we learn. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins walks through James 1:22 and the difference between hearing and doing. We explore why application matters, how the Holy Spirit helps us obey, and practical steps for living out God's Word daily with grace and dependence on Christ.

Be Doers of the Word: Living Out James 1:22 Podcast: Anchored in the Word with Dave Jenkins Show: Servants of Grace Podcast Network Episode Summary Many Christians are surrounded by Bible content. We read Scripture, listen to sermons, podcasts, and teachings, yet often struggle to actually apply what we hear. In this episode of Anchored in the Word, Dave Jenkins walks through James 1:22 and the call to be doers of the Word, not hearers only. We look at why hearing without obedience leads to self-deception, how the Holy Spirit helps us, and practical steps for putting Scripture into practice in everyday life. Listen to the Episode Audio Player Video Player Key Scripture James 1:22 – “But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” James 1:22–25 John 15–16 Matthew 22:39 Selected passages from Proverbs on wisdom and understanding Episode Highlights 1. Hearing Versus Doing Many Christians regularly hear Scripture, but James draws a clear line between hearing and doing. Hearing alone can create an illusion of spiritual growth if it is never translated into action. Illustration: reading an instruction manual but never assembling the furniture, the knowledge does not produce the intended result. 2. The Danger of Self Deception James warns that those who hear the Word without doing it “deceive” themselves. James 1:23–24 compares this to looking in a mirror, then walking away and forgetting what you saw. It is possible to confuse exposure to truth with obedience to truth. 3. Doctrine That Leads to Life Doctrine is teaching, and the source of sound doctrine is the Word of God. Sound doctrine is meant to lead to sound living, it should shape decisions, relationships, work, home, and church life. This applies to every believer, whether or not you have formal theological training. 4. Wisdom, Understanding, and Application Scripture gives us both wisdom and understanding. Wisdom knows that God's Word is true and trustworthy. Understanding asks how this truth applies to our hearts, our habits, our relationships, and our witness. James reads like New Testament wisdom literature, calling us to bring truth home into every area of life. 5. The Blessing of Obedience James 1:25 speaks of the one who looks into the perfect law, perseveres, and acts. That person “will be blessed in his doing.” Obedience is not a cold checklist, it is the fruit of union with Christ and the work of the Holy Spirit. True obedience begins in the heart and results in real change in how we live, love, forgive, and stand firm in the truth. 6. Practical Ways to Be a Doer of the Word Start small: When you read a passage, identify one concrete way to respond in your day. Obey in the ordinary: Look for everyday places to apply Scripture, in your home, work, church, and private life. Reflect, then act: Before you close your Bible or finish a sermon, ask, “What is one thing I can do with this truth this week?” See Scripture as personal and sufficient: God has given His Word to address your grief, suffering, joy, anxiety, and daily decisions. Grow in application for the sake of others: As you learn to apply God's Word to your own heart, you will grow in evangelism, discipleship, and counseling others. Reflection and Application Where in your life have you been mostly a hearer of the Word rather than a doer? What is one passage of Scripture that God keeps bringing to mind that you need to obey today? How can you build a simple habit of asking, “How should I live differently because of what I just read or heard?” Who in your life might benefit from you gently sharing how God is teaching you to apply His Word?

Send us a textWhat does it really mean to follow Jesus? For many people, faith gets reduced to a slogan: "I don't believe in religion--I believe in Jesus." But in this powerful message from Pastor Nicole Barnett, we explore what Scripture actually says about the kind of faith God calls us to live.Drawing from James 1:22-27 and the teachings of Jesus, Nicole challenges the idea that Christianity is only a private relationship or a set of beliefs. Instead, she reveals a deeper, richer vision: a faith that listens AND lives... believes AND acts... loves AND shows up.If you have ever felt the tension between what you say you believe and how you actually live, or if you have wondered why faith should lead to compassion, mercy, and tangible love for others, this episode will speak directly to your heart.Whether you are new to Christianity, burned out on empty religion, or longing for a faith that looks more like Jesus, this message offers a compelling and hope-filled reminder of what following Christ is truly meant to be.Linkoln shares his story on why he started coming to Ravenna Church of the Nazarene and shares why you should consider doing the same.Ravenna Church of the Nazarene530 Main Street, Ravenna, KY 40472Support the showThe Dirt Path Sermon Podcast is a place for real sermons that speak to real life.

A Recorded Sermon from Bro Brett Cottrell -- October 26. 2025
By Doug Harrison - Taking a look at James 1:22 to see how we can be better doers of the word.
Pastor Ryan Deas calls the church to move from hearing to doing. Jesus commands us to “go” and promises that signs follow believers: casting out devils, speaking with new tongues, and laying hands on the sick (Mark 16:14–20). James urges us to receive the engrafted word and be doers, not hearers only (James 1:19–25). Discipleship means teaching people to observe all Jesus commanded (Matthew 28:19–20). Like Jesus, anointed with the Holy Ghost and doing good(Acts 10:38), we live the Word daily—obeying, praying, praising, and acting in faith.
The mirror metaphor: obedience brings freedom.
James 1:19-21. The scripture text in today's message challenges us to move from simply hearing God's Word to living it out — because knowledge without application is foolishness, but obedience brings freedom. Pastor Jeff reminds us that the Bible isn't just a mirror showing who we are; it's a call to become who God created us to be. When we apply God's truth, we're not just doing something — we're becoming someone: people marked by action, obedience, and love.For upcoming events and important announcements at Skyline, visit our Facebook page for the latest details!If you'd like to check out more resources, get to know Skyline Church, or donate to our ministry and missions please visit www.skylineofallon.com.

Matthew 7:24-29 Jesus makes a very bold and definitive statement. Either you build your life on My Words or someone else's word. Only one foundation is like Solid rock that will withstand the storms and will endure forever. You only have two choices, and there are only two possible outcomes. Build rightly.
James 1:19-27: 19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 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. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing. 26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. 27 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.
James 1:19-27 - In this message we are reminded that being doers of the Word means living out our faith in obedience, not just hearing Scripture. James 1 calls us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger, and to let God's Word transform our actions. True faith shows itself through bridling the tongue, serving those in need, and living distinctly from the world.

Jeff wraps up our series entitled "The Bible: Timeless Wisdom for Modern Times".
Our faith should change us. As we receive the Word, let us be those who put it into action—not letting it terminate on our ears, but germinate in our hearts.

James reminds us of the power our words have to bless and curse. With powerful illustrations, we are encouraged to tame the tongue.
Pastor Nicolas Ellen. James 1:19-25
James compels us toward steadfastness and maturity. Endurance is developed through patience in suffering. It is the tested faith that perseveres.
We are saved by grace alone apart from our works, but that saving grace compels us to act. James encourages us to declare the gospel by demonstrating the gospel.
