06/11/23 | We have RULES for everything. There are rules of the road, rules for the games we play, rule of law. Spiritually speaking, a RULE OF LIFE consists of core values, core beliefs, and core practices. It’s a CODE OF CONDUCT—rituals and routines, decisions and disciplines—by which we live our lives.
In Week 2, Pastor Jeff shows how we must Listen, Learn, and Live out God’s Word. When we do, we will live in true freedom to live out the passions God has given us. Reading from James chapter 1, as well as looking at how Jesus lived His life in relation to God and others, Pastor Jeff gives these Rules of Life:
1) LISTEN: Lead with Your Ears (in relation to others and in relation to God)
2) LEARN: Seek to Understand
3) LIVED OUT: Activate the Word
As James writes at the end of chapter 1, “But if you look carefully into the perfect law that sets you free, and if you do what it says and don’t forget what you heard, then God will bless you for doing it.” (James 1:25 NLT).
