#2 Complete In Our Listening

James 1:19-2:13

Talk Summary

Do you think you’re a good listener? According to James—the little brother of Jesus—we might not be as good at listening as we think, especially when it comes to hearing and obeying God’s Word.

In this talk from James 1:19–2:13, Luke explores what it means to have a complete faith—one that listens intently to God’s Word and lives it out with integrity and mercy. Using powerful images like mirrors, implanted words, and church welcomes, James exposes how easy it is to deceive ourselves by hearing God’s Word but doing nothing about it. He challenges us to lay aside anger, partiality, and selective obedience, and instead to receive the Word humbly and act on it.

And at the heart of this call? The mercy of Jesus. The glorious Lord who shows no favouritism and who gave his life for the poor, rich, impressive and unimpressive alike. In his mercy, we find freedom—not just to hear God’s Word, but to live it.
