This week in James, Pastor Haagon focuses on our speech. In James chapter 3, there is a strong emphasis on our words. It is one of the most powerful tools, whether we realize it or not, with the Bible saying the Power of Death and Life are in the tongue. Just as a metal bit can control a horse, the tongue can control the direction our lives take.
For this Sunday, we at Word of Faith came to take Communion as a Faith Family. Pastor Haagon shares about the importance of why we take Communion. Please join us and take part at home with Family, and remember the joy we have from the Resurrection of our Savior Jesus.
How do you see religion? In our day and age, there is both a good and bad way to see religion. James talks about "Pure and Undefiled religion" to the Father. Astor Haagon leads us through scripture and shows us how we can walk in Purity and to be undefiled. Let the Word of God continue to grow and lead us to His ways.
The day that Jesus raised Lazarus from the grave can be more significant than we may first realize, more significant than someone just being raised from the dead! What do we know that we have today from God? What do we believe of Jesus that effects how we live today? The Resurrection of Jesus has allowed us to walk into the door that makes us Sons and Daughters of God, and we need to know how we can now live, showing others was Jesus has freely given to all.
Beginning in James 1:20, we see that we are to "Lay aside all filthiness, and to receive the implanted Word, which is able to save our souls." The Word of God helps renew our souls; The soul being our mind, will, and emotions. James shows us to use the Word as a guide to grow into His perfection. That is found in being a doer of the Word and not a hearer only.
Continuing in our study on the book of James, we begin to see that what Christians believe should effect what they do. What we believe should be a constant through our actions. Our Faith should be solely based on the Word of God, letting His promises effect our motives, words, and actions.
We look in the New Testament in the life of James, as well the book he wrote. What was life like in the beginning of when Christianity was established? Many traditions of Judaism were done away with when the completion of Jesus on the Cross happened; they were types and shadows of what was to happen within our hearts. We see a new life to live in now, a life of Love and Grace for those around us, and this does not depend on the person, this life Jesus died for is for all people.
