Doers—Not Hearers Only (Part Two)Welcome back to the kitchen table.In Part Two, we turn our attention inward—looking at the heart and the quiet resistance that often keeps us from acting on God's Word. Drawing from James 1:21, we talk about humility, teachability, and the subtle ways fear, pride, or self-reliance can block transformation.This conversation gently challenges us to receive the Word as it truly is—not as information to manage, but as truth meant to take root and bring freedom.Scripture References:James 1:21Galatians 5:1Hebrews 4:12
What proves real transformation?In this episode, we walk verse-by-verse through Epistle of James 1:19–27 and uncover what James says true faith actually looks like.It's not just hearing the Word. It's not just knowing theology. It's not outward religious performance.James confronts us with the evidence of genuine transformation:– Quick to listen – Slow to speak – Slow to anger – Doers of the Word – Care for the vulnerable – Lives unstained by the worldWe unpack: • Why human anger hinders righteousness • What it means to humbly receive the implanted Word • The danger of self-deception • What “pure and faultless religion” truly isTrials don't just test endurance. They reveal what's rooted.The question isn't “Did I learn something?” It's “What will I do with what I've heard?”✨ LINKS

Do not be hearers only but doers of the Word by Light House Harlow
Doers—Not Hearers Only (Part One)Pull up a chair and join me at the kitchen table.In Part One, we begin with the foundational warning in James 1:22–25—that it is possible to hear God's Word and still be deceived if it is not lived out. This opening conversation lays the groundwork by exploring what it truly means to receive the Word, why hearing alone is not enough, and how genuine faith responds with trust and obedience.This message invites us to slow down, listen honestly, and allow Scripture to examine not just what we believe—but how we live.Scripture References:James 1:22–25Matthew 7:24–27
How can we be more than just hearers of the Word and instead be doers? What does the Bible say about being slow to speak and slow to anger? Watch as Pastor Andrew Strand answers these questions in week two of All Up in Your Business!

James tells us the difference between being a hearer of the Word and a doer of the Word. Join Pastor Hank and Miss Mona as they look at James 1:22-25 to discuss this and so much more.
This Sunday morning teaching happened in an atypical, even experimental form— a sermon in dramatic dialogue. In a kind of homage to the quirky, 1981 film, My Dinner with André, the “sermon” mirrored the wide-ranging, personal, and deep conversation between Wallace and André (the actual names of the actors/characters in the movie). But the content of Sunday's dialogue between André (Pastor Chris) and Wallace (Robert Brown) centered on two friends catching up after a long absence who had, unbeknownst to each other, had married, had families, become Christians, and pursued careers/callings neither expected of each other or themselves. André had become an Eastern Orthodox layman and a Marriage and Family Therapist, while Wallace had become a Presbyterian pastor. The Lectionary texts consist of a Wisdom Psalm (Psalm 15), and a Prophetic text (Micah 6). After André and Wallace retell their conversion stories and the life events that led them up to the present, they end up talking about the Epiphany texts for Wallace's upcoming sermon. That discussion forms the key transition to the real meat of the conversation—how we as Christians might wrestle with such texts. Note: The photograph associated with this podcast is a production still from the movie "My Dinner with André."

This message concludes our Advent series by challenging us to move beyond tradition and reflection into real-life application. Through the theme “Hearers & Doers,” we explore the birth and early life of Jesus and how Scripture calls us not just to hear God's Word, but to live it out daily. As Advent ends and a new year begins, this message invites us to practice hope, peace, joy, love, and Christlikeness in tangible ways. ———————————————————————————————Gather your church essentials here for notes, prayer, events, etc:https://nbcc.com/church-essentialsConnect with us on Social Media:Instagram: instagram.com/nbccnorcoTikTok: tiktok.com/@nbccnorcoFacebook: facebook.com/nbccnorcoYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC6S-3n9PVnXm8zSPHAYVyGwWebsite: https://www.nbcc.com/----------------------------------------If you have any prayer requests or questions, please message us on our social media or send us an email at nbcc@nbcc.com.

St. Paul gives further instructions to his brothers in Christ in Thessalonica as to what their lives should look like as Christians waiting for the Last Day. Hearers respect and esteem their pastors as those men work diligently to proclaim the Gospel. Peace reigns in the congregation as those who are weak and faint are treated with patience. Forgiveness trumps vengeance. Joy, prayer, and thanksgiving abound. All of these gifts characterize Christian congregations as the Holy Spirit accomplishes His will for the Church through the word of Jesus Christ. Rev. Brian Flamme, pastor at Immanuel Lutheran Church in Roswell, NM, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study 1 Thessalonians 5:12-22. To learn more about Immanuel in Roswell, visit immanuelroswell.org. “Yearning for the Day of Christ's Returning” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that studies St. Paul's two epistles to the Thessalonians. Although Paul's time in Thessalonica was brief, he had great affection for the Christians there. His two letters to the Thessalonians show us the joy that God gives us together in the Church and encourage us to live faithfully in expectation of Jesus' coming on the Last Day. Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org
Five minutes can tilt a whole day—and, over time, a whole life. Today we pull on a thread that's easy to admire and hard to live: moving from hearing to doing. With a pointed line from Frederick Robertson and the steady wisdom of James 1, we explore why action outlasts emotion, how obedience shapes identity, and what it looks like to stand with courage when culture pushes faith to the margins.I share a candid observation many of us feel: we're often educated beyond our level of obedience. We know the sermons and studies by heart, but our habits lag behind. That's where James offers a mirror. Hearers glance, forget, and drift. Doers continue and are blessed. These aren't grand gestures; they're quiet, repeatable choices that add up to visible faith.We would love to hear your comments. Send us a Text MessageSupport the show

"But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass: For he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed." James 1:22-25

Send us a textWe start with a frank look at unfinished projects, both the literal clutter and the hidden emotional stacks we've parked for years. A childhood story about “junk” cars becomes a picture of how intentions without action turn into anchors. Then we zoom out with Scripture—Moses and Joshua, David and Solomon, Ezra and Nehemiah—to show how God completes purposes across generations. Obedience in your chapter matters, even when you won't see the last page. That shift reframes delay, disappointment, and the temptation to quit.From there, James 1–2 challenges us to close the gap between church on Sunday and choices on Monday. Hearers versus doers. The law of liberty that frees us from guilt so we can act with integrity. Guarding our words so our actions follow blessing rather than complaint. We get practical about spiritual formation: keeping promises, confronting procrastination with small scheduled steps, and protecting daily time with God. The result is surprising—less pressure, more freedom, and a clearer path to purpose.Finally, we ground faith in service. Pure religion visits orphans and widows, feeds families, and shows up for neighbors. Stories from our Mercy House and local outreach reveal how generosity multiplies impact—and joy. You'll leave with simple ways to create margin, finish what matters, and say yes to the Spirit in small moments that lead to big change.If this resonated, share it with a friend who's juggling too much, subscribe for more practical faith conversations, and leave a review to help others find the show.

Real faith doesn't just nod along — it shows up in how you live.James reminds us that hearing God's Word isn't enough — we're called to do something with it. Don't settle for a faith that sounds good on Sunday but stays silent the rest of the week. Live it. Speak it. Walk it.

Why is it so important for elders to attend to their own souls? Because as the elders go, so goes the church.
Hey friends! In today's episode, we're diving deep into the unseen struggles of Hearers—those prophetic personalities who connect with God through words, phrases, and conversations. We're talking about the challenges, like when you only get part of the story or feel like God's gone silent. I share tips on building trust, stewarding what you've already heard, and leaning into gratitude to quiet the noise of life. If you've ever wrestled with feeling stuck or doubting what you've heard, this one's for you. Plus, I'll tell you all about my new Created to Hear God Journal to help you take these lessons even deeper.
