This sermon broadens our understanding of worship from internal acts to external deeds. James describes "pure and faultless religion" as caring for orphans and widows and keeping oneself from being polluted by the world. True worship is not just what we do inside the church, but how we serve others and live with integrity outside of it. Our hands and feet are as much a part of our worship as our mouths.
When you think about your worship this past week, what did it look like outside the church walls?
Where did your hands and feet express worship—through acts of compassion, justice, or integrity—and where might God be inviting you to live out “pure and faultless religion” more intentionally in the days ahead?
