Mirror and Window | James 1:22-27 | October 5th, 2025

This week’s sermon focused on James 1:22-27, exploring the call to be “doers of the word, and not hearers only”. The central metaphor of the message was the Word of God as a mirror. This mirror doesn't exist just to show us our reflection; it's meant to transform us. James challenges the notion of a passive faith, suggesting that a genuine encounter with Scripture prompts us to live differently. This active faith, or "pure and faultless" religion, is measured by two practical tests: how we control our speech and how we show mercy to the most vulnerable among us.
