Words Matter: Encouraging Words | James 2

LS Community Church live Sunday gathering, July 13th; teaching by Brian Thompson

 

Scripture Focus: James 2:1–17 

In this week’s message, we dive into James 2:1–17 (The Message version) and reflect on what it truly means to live out our faith—not just with our words, but through our actions. James challenges us to go beyond surface-level belief and confront how we treat those around us, especially the overlooked, the outcast, and the marginalized. 

Jesus didn’t just speak truth—He lived it. He dined with tax collectors, spoke life over the condemned, and touched the untouchable. So, what does it look like for us to follow His example in our everyday relationships—at work, in our neighborhoods, or even in our churches? 

Join us as we explore how to: 

• · See people the way Jesus sees them 
•  
• · Listen to their stories with empathy 
•  
• · Demonstrate Good News through action 
•  
• · Use our words to speak truth, identity, and worth over others 
•
