episode Faith Loves | Keith Cross cover

Description

What does real faith look like? In James 1:26–2:13, we’re reminded that faith always expresses itself through love. It’s not just something we believe, it’s something we live out every day. This message walks through three ways we can measure our love for God: Our conversation “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.” (Matthew 12:34) What we say matters. Our words have the power to build up or tear down. Our compassion “Look after orphans and widows in their distress…” (James 1:27) Faith shows up in how we care for others, especially those in need. Our consecration “Keep oneself from being polluted by the world…” (James 1:27) We’re called to live differently, not shaped by the patterns of the world. James 2:8 reminds us, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” And verse 13 says, “Mercy triumphs over judgment.” Faith that loves speaks differently, lives differently, and treats people differently. Watch the full message and take a moment to reflect on how your faith is being lived out.

Faith Speaks | Keith Cross

What do your words say about your faith? In this message, Faith Speaks, Pastor Keith Cross teaches through James 3:1–12 and reminds us that our words carry more weight than we realize. What we say doesn’t just fill space, it shapes direction, causes damage, and reveals what’s really going on in our hearts. James compares the tongue to a bit in a horse’s mouth and a rudder on a ship. Though small, it has the power to guide the course of our lives. But he also warns that our words can be destructive, like a spark that starts a fire. At the same time, our words are meant to reflect a heart that’s been changed by God. What flows out of us reveals what’s happening within us. This message challenges us to take a closer look at how we speak and to let our faith be seen not just in what we believe, but in what we say.
