Doers of the Word

Robby Pollard, Lead Pastor

James 1:18

18Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

James 1:12-13

12Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him. 13Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one.

James 1:18

18Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

2 Peter 3:9

9The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.

James 1:18

18Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

James 1:17

17Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change.

James 1:18

18Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

James 1:19a

19Know this, my beloved brothers…

James 1:19-25

19Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. 22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

James 1:21 - “receive with meekness the implanted word”

James 1:22 - “be doers of the word”

James 1:23 - “the perfect las, the law of liberty”

Be doers of the word.

Real faith is an obedient faith.

James 1:19-21

19Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

2 Timothy 3:16

16All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness,

James 1:19-21

19Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

James 1:21

21Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

1 Thessalonians 2:13

13And we also thank God constantly for this, that when you received the word of God, which you heard from us, you accepted it not as the word of men but as what it really is, the word of God, which is at work in you believers.

James 1:21

21Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.

 - Put aside filthiness.
 - Put aside wickedness.
 - Put aside pride.

Real faith is an obedient faith.

James 1:22

22But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.

James 1:23-24

23For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like.

James 1:25

25But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

Real faith works.

James 1:25

25But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.

James 1:26-27

26If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person’s religion is worthless. 27Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

Real faith is an obedient faith.

Helping people in need.

Holy people.


Real faith is an obedient faith.

Is my faith real?

Is my faith obedient faith?

We’re excited to have you join us at The Brook Church! Here’s everything you need to know about what to expect when you visit for a Sunday morning service.

75 minute Services

A typical service will last about 75 minutes with a mix of contemporary and traditional music that is led by our worship team. Our pastors share a Biblically-based message relevant to real life.

Our Student Ministry (grades 5–12) and Kids Ministry (infants – grade 4) each offer identical, age-appropriate Bible teaching during both Sunday morning services.

Family Worship Days

The last Sunday of each month we come together for Family Worship Services (kids + students + adults worshiping together). Kids ministry is available for infants – pre-K only.
