In this message, we’re reminded that following Jesus was never meant to be a passive belief but an active, lived-out faith... especially when life is hard. James challenges us to move beyond just hearing God’s Word and instead put it into practice: showing favor to everyone, watching our words, and confronting the subtle but destructive power of pride. James exposes how pride fuels conflict, fractures relationships, and keeps us focused on ourselves, while humility opens our hands to receive God’s grace. The invitation is clear and deeply practical – submit ourselves to Jesus.
