Description

What does it look like to have a faith that actually works? In this message, Faith Obeys, Pastor Keith Cross walks through James 1:19–25 and reminds us that hearing God’s Word is not enough. Real faith responds. It listens, receives, and lives it out. James teaches us to be quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry. Why? Because the Word of God isn’t just meant to inform us, it’s meant to transform us. When we only hear the Word but don’t act on it, Scripture says we deceive ourselves. But when we receive it with humility and respond in obedience, it begins to produce something in us. Growth. Change. Righteousness. The Word is like a mirror. It shows us where we are, but it also invites us to take a step forward. The question is not just, “Did I hear it?” It’s, “Am I living it?”

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.
