Sermon
True Religion
Center Church
Speaker: Josh Miller
September 25, 2023 · 43 min
Summary
James 1:27 defines true religion as caring for the needy (orphans and widows) and remaining unstained from worldly values. The pastor contrasts false religion (works without faith, or faith without works) with genuine faith that produces compassionate action, using Matthew 25's sheep and goats parable to show that concern for the vulnerable demonstrates true conversion.
Highlights
When you care for the needy, you are caring for Jesus.
Grace is anti-earning, but grace is not anti-effort.
The situations are overwhelming, but organizations are empowering.
