you know before I share today at a couple of things and that is
that we have actually I'll just fall. Give me a word for you and
so, but I give it otherwise. I think of anything else and I
just felt God say out of that. Scripture Genesis, 15 look to
the N SE and the W or the land that you see is giving you and I
felt like for your ministry. God is saying that he's about to
give your territories that were blocked off before that there
were. Areas it was like able all can do this so not going
to do this, but not here and I forgot sign now. God is
opening up some of those areas, the previous season.

So probably be mention today already but if it hasn't a hot
August. Nights is coming up in a few weeks and uh you might have

having a senior summit on the Saturday morning here and then a
young adult summit in the
afternoon, there so. We sent out information, saying that we were

going to be brilliant. If you want to back up after that, to
go to the young adult summit, then feel free and we can
organize transportation. There's no limit on it, and you don't
even have to show ID for that
one OK so. So that will be really, really, really cool and
also tonight, continuing series at night called tough text of
the Bible and I thought some of you might be interested in the
passage on preaching on tonight. It's one. Timothy 215 women are
saved in childbirth through childbirth, so that's what I'm
preaching on tonight. I meant so that'll be interesting. Tell me
in your bottles to Little
Giants. James Chapter 2.
James Chapter 2.
Gonna rate versus 14 or 26.
James Chapter 214 or 26.
Say this.
What does it profit my brethren if someone says he is faith but
does not have works can faith save him if a brother or sister
is naked and destitute of daily food and one of his sister them
dip art in peace be warmed and filled but you do not give them
the things which are needed for the body? What does it profit?
That also faith by itself if it does not have works is dead.
But someone will say you have faith and I've works. Show me
your faith without your works and I will show you my faith by
my works. You believe that there is one God. You do well. Even
the demons believe, and tremble but you want to know a foolish
man that faith without works is dead was not Abraham your father
justified by works when he offered Isaac. His son on the
altar. You see that faith was working together with his works
and by works. Faith was made perfect and the scripture was
fulfilled which says Abraham believed God and it was a
counter team for righteousness and he was called the friend of
God. You see then that a man is justified is wise works or not
by his faith only likewise was not Ray have the harlot also
justified by works when she received the messages and sent
them out. Another way for as the body without the spirit is dead
so faith without works is dead also let's pray father. I thank
you for what I ask and pray that you help us to have a faith that
works are living and active faith. Lord God truly
representative of you. I thank you and praise you for Lord in
Jesus name Amen. For those of you that have been here, the
last few weeks that you would know that over the course of
this term. I'm doing a series on the book of James called life
lessons now. James was written by James. The brother of Jesus
and he actually led the Jerusalem church when it started
So what that means is it was primarily made up of Jewish
converts to Christianity. People who were raised as Jews, but
then they became Christians now raised as Jews. That means that
they understood much of the Old Testament. In fact, many of them
would have memorized significant chunks of the Old Testament.
And this is actually the group of People that James is writing
too. That's what we know this because it says in James, one
one. He says to the 12 tribes scattered abroad so that's an
indication to the audience in which he was writing too. So
it's interesting to me that he actually writes them. What is
probably considered the most simple practical letter in the
entire New Testament and that is the limit letter of James so
he's writing to the most of People. The most mature People,
the most simple practical
letter. Now surely this guy understands his audience. Surely
these People have probably heard this before, but he would have
understood. It's one thing knowing God's word it's another
thing living it. It's one thing being raising gods word, but
it's another thing actually having it practically outward in
our lives. And so we do in a series called life lessons and
today the topic is actually
faith that works. The last week. We talked about you know that
get the wood working that's what I want to talk about faith that
works and basically we've been talking. The last few weeks
about different topics covered by that. And here he is
basically telling them faith without works is dead, 3 times.
He says this is Rhonda reiterated its not a throwaway
line faith without works is
dead. So purely belief.
Purely education. Fully purely a mental understanding is not true
faith. He is saying Faith Works is dead. We have to have the
believing. But we also have to
have the action. If you look through Hebrews Chapter 11, it
talks about the heroes of faith. It talks about the things that
they did. You can't ever life of faith without without actually
doing something faith without works? Is dead and so he is
riding here about talking to mature People. People who
probably understand their word, and he's reminding them that
just believing there's not
enough. There are things that we have to do their assigns and
indicators that we're Christians faith without works is dead and
help us along, he actually gives us 3 examples. If you're a
preacher. This is really easy passage approach from 'cause. He
actually gives us the 3:00 examples, he's talking about.
So you're just throwing out their faith without works is
dead and telling them off, it gives him 3 examples of what he
actually means and so today. I want to look at those 3 examples
and look at the things he's saying this is when you know
that you've got faith that actually works. You know for
many of us. There's a great temptation to keep our faith in
the believing room. The believing and the learning and
the studying and that's good. That's important, but even more
than that there's a practical outworking tour faith without
works is dead and so there's 3 things that he says there 3.
Examples of faith that works, the first one, he says in James
Chapter 2 verses 15 and 16.
He says if a brother or sister is naked and destitute of daily
food and one of you says to them to part in peace be warmed and
filled. But you do not give them the things which are needed for
the body? What does it profit?
So the first thing is talking about is meeting the practical
needs of those in need.
So the first thing is talking about here. The first sign of
faith that works is number one
charity charity. Charity should be one of the hallmarks actually
over Christian. I consume a society says we consume.
Everything that we have for ourselves, but that's not the
hallmark of a Christian if you look at the Old Testament. Sorry
if you think of Old Testament People when they used to
actually harvest their fields that would often leave corners
of it untouched who would they leave that for that actually
leave it for the poor. That's why Ruth when she was working in
Boaz's field, she would come behind and pick up the scraps
and picked up and leftovers 'cause. She was poor at the time
and because he powers was pretty keen on, he made sure they
dropped even more bundles for.
But the principle was this we don't consume everything we own.
It's not all for us.
Part of it is supposed to be there to meet the needs of the
poor is actually one of the signs of being a Christian, one
of my favorite letters in the Bible, which I might preach on
later this year is actually one jaune and in one Johnny's
writing to Johnny's running through People who have allowed
the doctrine of Gnosticism to come into their churches, so not
the season mode, not knowing special knowledge special
enlightenment. Narcissism basically the premise of it says
that matter is evil in spirit is good So what that means is that
physical things are of no worth are not important, it's
spiritual things that are important, but because of that
teaching that actually led to a number of heresies that came
into the church that actually made it no longer Christian and
John was trying to address this one of the things he was
addressing was the fact about loving People loving others.
And it when he tells him he says that how can you if you've got
this world's goods and you don't help out those that don't? How
can you say the love of God
resides in US? 'Cause the teaching was basically saying
that Unite matter is evil spirit is good, so we don't have to
look off the peoples practical needs. It doesn't really matter
because you know that's just material things. But he said.
None of the fact that you can tell you got the love of God in
your life is that we will make the practical needs of other
People. This is where you write it reiterated here in James is
basically saying that we can tell that we actually have faith
in God 'cause, you overflow of it is that we will actually look
after the needs of the poor and will actually take care of them
You know, one of the things I really don't like is.
When people in secular society
trying twist history. They start saying things like horrible you
know the church. Christianity is only ruling the world, said make
that if you look at history that's just complete rubbish.
Most hospital hospitals were started by Christians. Most
charities were started by Christian Sackless, secular
society. Does nothing for society. White 'cause it's only
in it for me, it's only the Christians that are actually did
all those things and that's only natural why 'cause If you gotta
faith with God, then one of the out workings of that is actually
looking after the needs of the poor and needy that's why we
salt and light in this earth we make a change. Wherever we go
and one other ways that we do is yes. We preach the gospel.
People cannot become a Christian without the preaching of the
gospel. But one of the things we also do is that we also meet the
needs. Of the poor and the needy, according to our ability.
Would be no secret to you hear that when we first came here
last year. We we realize that. Our church had been experiencing
some significant financial
challenges. And because of that that we have to look at our
budget and look at the things that we spend our money on and
to try and make sure that we can navigate safely. The Knick
season and so we had to make some difficult decisions and
made some you know, frankly, some unpopular decisions, but it
was absolutely necessary for our future and one of the things we
have to look at what we have to look at our different
ministries. We've got a number of different ministries and
we've got a number of different businesses and one of the ones
which has been an incredible blessing to the community and a
true reflection of our church was community care. I'm called
Plus One Karen. We have to look at that and one of the things we
realized that we were really, really struggling to actually
keep that afloat and there was some significant challenges
associated with that actually had some People pulled me aside
and said Bend you actually really want that ministry.
You know is it is it something that you know, there's a lot of
churches can do that and is this something that we actually
really want to do. And so I have to pray about it seriously, and
I went away. and I sort garden when I did God actually gave me
the scriptures in Proverbs Chapter 3 verse 27.
So do not withhold good from those to whom are to do when
it's in the power of your hand
to do so. And I realized if God is telling Christians that they
have to look after the poor, then surely we have to as a
church as well. The way you have to have something that we, as a
church when People come to us we can actually make their
practical needs that lots of things we do in the community
look at how schools that schools are amazing and it is a private
school and some of the People come to plus one. K may not be
in a position to send make it
here. But that's part of the community that we need to reach
as well, I mean. And so as Christian so we made a decision.
We said no matter what we have to continue that if we're
Christians. If we're a church that's part of our
responsibility. To actually do that. And since that time and we
had to make some adjustments and that sort of thing. The blessing
and favor upon that ministry has been incredible. One of the
amazing things is when surely surely socks comes to staff
manage. She talks about the miracles that have happened. All
this company dropped off all this food. And this company did
all that and God is trusting us with more and more now.
That we can use to meet the needs of the community and
there's lots of other things that we do, but because we're a
Christian organization cause. We're a church. One of the ways
we can show everyone. We've got faith is by our works and one of
the things we can do is to meet the needs of the community, I
meant. And so next week. I'm sorry in 2 weeks time next week.
We're doing, it Up Imprimer. But in 2 weeks time. We're having a
Sunday. Here called Kings care Sunday and basically it's going
to be one of the things we're going to do is going to ask our
community care around we come across, and put on an op shop.
Which would be awesome so I come and bring your pennies and that
sort of thing and for those of you that actually shop with the
op shop. It's just here will be here on that Sunday and which
will be awesome. And we're going to be doing that and also we're
going to be receiving partners on that day for People who want
to partner specifically tax deductible. People who want to
specifically partner with that ministry that we have and also
to has a little bit of a sneak peak and it's no secret of those
who work in a community care. I'm actually changing the name
and the name plus. One care is served us greatly for a number
of years and. And was awesome, but really felt the change. The
name 'cause. There was People that community. He didn't know
that it was actually a community
around. So we just started Chinese tonight. This is
really, really you know out, then I'm gonna be called
Kings community care.
And will be fully launched in that in a couple of weeks. Tom
and how is your long to come and support it one of the things
that really challenged me? Was this as Christians. It's
incumbent upon all of us. Some People have grace to do it as
their primary thing. Some People actually have a specific mandate
to do that, like Mother Teresa and that sort of thing, but
there is a calling upon every single one of us to contribute
in some sort of way, and even on that day. You might be like you
know, there's not a lot. I can do for the poor, but you know if
you partner with Kings Community Care you will be partnering.
And playing that Christian services part of meeting the
needs of the community. I'm in Kings Community Care is an
important integral part of what we do as a church white 'cause.
We want to have a faith that works, the second thing that he
says, is this James Chapter 2
verse twenty one. He says was not Abraham our father justified
by works when he offered Isaac his son on the altar.
So the second example, he gives is of Abraham offering
Isaac on the altar.
Isaac was Abraham son, Abraham did not want to offer Isaac on
the altar. But the only reason he offered Isaac on the altar
was because God commanded him to do so. So the second sign the
second aspect of faith that works is obedience. It's
obedience. It's obedience to the Lord. Now, for those of you that
don't actually know that story, I want to put your mind at ease
God actually stopped him.
So we didn't actually sacrificed his son on the altar that God
was wanting to test his willingness to see whether he
would be obedient to him. Make no mistake, one of the science.
One of the aspects of having a genuine faith is more than just
a mental assent and more than just religious Judy's. It's
actually a deep seated obedience understanding that we actually
belong to him. There are times in our Christian walk
when that's actually tested you know it's tested in those
occasions in those moments. We got asked us to do
something that we don't actually feel like doing the
Christian life is great. Freedom is Great Liberty. I
recommend it to everyone. I recognize the best life. You
can have the best life right here right now, but make no
mistake, there are times.
Becauses the Lord.
When we have to do what he actually requires of us. There
are many aspects to our relationship with God, he's a
loving father. He's also our friend remember that all was not
old anyway. That song Jesus you are my best friend easier
friend. Is also our savior?
Is our savior when you give you loft across we get to go to
heaven after we die? But more than all those benefits is
actually the Lord. He's mentioned his name is Lord much
more than all those other names bottle says on the day of
judgment every knee will bow and every tongue will convince not
that you're my friend, but actually you're the Lord. You're
the boss. That's why the Bible says that when Christ died.
We've been ransomed. What does that mean we used to belong
elsewhere someone paid a price so we could come out from their
grip? That's what Christ died on the cross, but he didn't do it,
so that we can. Just go and forget about him. He purchased
are set of price the Bible says we actually now belong to him
and he's a way better master so we were once slaves of sin, but
now we're still slaves.
Oh, his slaves of righteousness and it's so much better and he's
an awesome awesome. Garden this great blessing, but make no
mistake, there a moments as a
Christian? When we have to buy him even when we don't feel like
it. Preacher Mrs last year out
of Psalm 37. And one of the verses says bless it are the
meek for they will inherit the
Earth. Net worth make actually means someone who doesn't remove
themselves from the dealings of
God. So what that means is that you're willing to do whatever
goal. Whatever God wants you to do even times when you don't
feel like it. That's what make actually means it means
obedience, even when we don't
feel like it. But it says that if we do that will inherit.
The Earth,
Doesn't say will inherit heaven is not talking about the great
by and by where we have to just suffer and ensure now is
actually saying will inherit the Earth as well so that means
God's got a blessing and favor for us here right here. Right
now, but one of the cases stepping into what God has for
us is actually by it being obedient to him being Meek. You
know, some 37 was written by
King David. And King David was 9 as a man with a heart after God.
That People would say, Well, you know, he had a hard after God
and say you know the evidence of that was his worship. It was
such a great worshipper that was the evidence of having a hard
after God, but actually the book of acts tells us why God
considered him a man after his
own heart exploding 22. God says here is David son of Jesse.
A man after my own heart.
For he will do all my will.
What's the sign of having a heart after God it's actually
obedience. What's the sign of having faith that works it's
actually obedience. That's one of the science and maybe you're
here and Godwin, prompting you in a particular area and you're
feeling a bit reluctant. You feel like you don't want to do
it, but you know, God is calling you to do it.
I'm here to let you know that if you step out and do what God
tells you to do. He's got even better things on the other side
fear just ask Abraham Abraham floating is going to sacrifice
his son. But God actually gave him a promise afterwards and
told him like the one of Genesis, 15 he released an even
greater promise. Upon his life. Make no mistake faith that
works involves a billion's the third thing that he actually
says here is this James Chapter 2 verse 25.
This is likewise was not Ray have the harlot also justified
by works when she received the messengers and sent them out
another way. So the 3rd example given was actually have Ray hab
now Ray who used to live in an apartment in the walls of
Jericho and So what happened was the Israelites wanted to take
that city and so they climbed in
through the walls. Climb up the wall in through apartment into
the city to navigate into scout out the city when they did that
they scouted out, then they came back to her apartment to escape.
But in the mean time in the mean time. The authorities found out
that they were there and so she hid them and protected them.
And then after that, they went and then they're able to take
the city and she is considered here. It says here that what she
did was actually an act of faith. It's RYA for its
reaffirmed in Hebrews. Chapter 11 cousin, Hebrews Chapter 11,
she's listed as one of the heroes of the faith.
And so we can look if you think about it's like well? What did
she actually do. But what she
did was this. She actually serve God's People who were the
Israelites. She served God's covenant People to advance the
Kingdom of God. That's what she did so the 3rd key to actually
the 3rd Act of the 3rd work of faith is actually service
service service is one of the signs that were actually
Christians Jesus, where your firms is he said. If you want to
be great. You've actually got to be a servant so actually the key
to greatness is actually serving now. The thing about serving is
when you truly serve. You do it without agenda or without any
strings attached. If you serve and, yes, I will do that, but
only if you give me this. I'll do that on the condition that
you will do this for Maine, then that's not serving that's
actually a transaction. That's
actually battering. Serving is actually where we would
literally do things for others in with nothing expecting
nothing in return. That's actually the attitude behind
serving by the awesome thing is that when we do that. The
awesome thing. Is there are blessings. In return, as well.
That's why Jesus said. If you want to be great. You've
actually got to be a servant and So what that means is every
single one of us has to serve
something. Every single one of us, it shouldn't, it's important
that all of us are actively engage in some kind of activity
when we're serving others and we're not and it's not for our
own personal benefit. That's why I'm truly blessed by the amount
of People who serve in our church People have got
businesses or People have got got busy jobs and that sort of
thing, but they serve in different areas, not for any
recognition of not for any financial contribution. But just
but just as part of what they do that is truly Kingdom out
churches called? Kings and So what that means is that we
have to reflect the Kingdom. That means we do things that
only don't just benefit us. We don't have to extract some
kind of benefit for us. With every transaction if we did
that and we were a church. We shouldn't call Ourself Kings.
We should we would not be a Kingdom would be an empire.
And we should call their self Emperor Church then if the
only things we get involved with the things that we run
away get money for.
But we're not Empire Church.
Wakings.
And Kingdom equals service.
Earlier this year, we were
blessed. Jam packed for those of you that got asleep when we
had Nick Nick Virtues. Come and speak here. It was an
incredible I apologize. I thought only 800 People would
come. I didn't realize 13150 People would jump and so we
didn't have enough seats and so for those of you. That God or
Satan. I saw some of you very aggressive about you'll see it
actually.
Very unwilling to move to the middle and very
unwilling to give it up anyway praise God, we get.
And you know it 200 People sitting along the altar and you
know, People running up the walls and that sort of thing
from what I can understand what some of the People have been
here, a lot longer than I have told me that it's probably the
2nd largest Sunday service ever held in this building and so and
so and so like it was really phenomenal day and People say
man how you do it.
Have you get a big fee.
Had to make it happen, you know what angle did you go?
And it didn't do any angle.
Basically, what happened was a very good friend of mine 9 past
the pole, killing who is the pastor. The church always be
proud of icy church. I rather do a youth rally every year with
the speak up and I take him around to different regions at
their own expense and put on a rally to cease all saved they
wanted to do on the Gold Coast. Now they had spoken to another
venue on the Gold Coast. But the other venue was trying to
extract a lot from them and try and control them and so
eventually pull came to me and he said. Ben could just hold it
Kings. Now, more first reaction
was offense. So all so now we're #2.
Away your second option now will soon as you really need us,
we're going to charger that but that's not what we did I said
listen that's fine right. No worries and we decided here and
I want to say big thanks to the school as well, which side just
put the put the night rally on for free. And it was also
manipulated common. There were 600 young People here and 200
responded to the optical and it was absolutely awesome, but
about few weeks after Paul first asked me he Rang me up and he
said. Ben he said, would you
like? For the Sunday morning.
Also let me pray about it.
Yes.
I know I said. So how much does it cost he goes I just
give him a gift. I said, definitely and then I said to
myself? How can you ask me now now? I just never assumed
he was going to preach in a very large church in Brisbane
that morning, originally and I just never assume that we
would actually have him for the Sunday morning. That's
not why we put the event on.
And so he said to me, he goes well, what happened was that
this other church. I was going to go through they decided that
they couldn't have him 'cause. They were going to do a church
AGM that day. And I was like self aboard driven
churches and so.
And he said, so do you want him?
Oh, I said, Yeah.
And so we were at exposed every weakness in our operations and
it exposed. You know, and it made this room, which often
looks big it made it look really, really small and that
sort of thing and it was a great moment for the life of
our church and we didn't know it was coming.
It was on the other side of service.
If you only ever try and extract you don't do this. You
could put on one of our T shirts and do your job. But if
you're doing, it with the motive of extracting something
for me, it's not doing that.
Hey man,
Services we come in.
We had to serve the Lord.
But it's better. Somebody full verse 10 it says that better is
one day in your courts and 1000
anyway. I would rather be a doorkeeper in the House of my
garden, bowling that ends of the
wicked. It doesn't say I'd rather be a dork
in the House of God.
This is a rather be OK. I don't care. I'm just going
to come do whatever.
And it's better to do that, than 1000 anywhere else, I meant.
For every single one of us faith that works is serving.
And we think we doing the People were serving a favor
but we're the ones actually reaping the benefit.
And that's Kingdom.
And where Kings.
So we gotta do it 'cause that's your name.
I meant 5 that works.
Charity. Contributing to the needs of the poor.
Obedience. Doing whatever he calls us to do being obedient to
him inside inside the large guardrails of Grace and freedom.
And the last thing is service.
Service without an agenda.
Service with electronics track some kind of benefit.
Just serving you know, Ray Head, she's considered a hero. The
faith and she was actually
rescued. But she did not know that was going to happen till
she serve God's People. She had no clue that she would be
listed. In Hebrews, Chapter 11, she had non clue that the
Messiah will come from her Gina logical line.
She could have assumed that if I get caught on dead.
But I'm willing to sacrifice for God's People, but in the end,
she found her legacy.
I meant 5 that works charity obedience and service I
meant. That's why I love you at
church. Kings church.
Representative the Kingdom I
meant. Let's pray.
Father I just thank you for your

Just keep your eyes closed for a moment church and.
Maybe that's Maybe that's You You are when I was speaking

Peter Fosse.
Forgot speak to Maine.
For you at a Psalm 23.
So I'm 23 verse 5.
He anoint my head with oil.
The anointing was a sign of a promotion.
The anointing was the mandate to step up into the thing God had
firm. Over the next few months, you're going to have moments
both in church, sometimes just at home. We're going to feel a
strong tingling sensation on
your head. That doesn't come
from anything. And it's called anointing you I'll see him doing
it more than once. 'cause got a special anointing for you, that
you're going to be used not only in the occupation that you're
doing. But God is also going to use you to advance and extend
the Kingdom of God and is giving you a special anointing for that
could just lift your hands to heaven father in Jesus night.
Piper or Profinet Lord and I just thank you for that
anointing I pray for that anointing from the Top of his
head. This also we feed a release said anointing right now
and I. Thank you father for that have done in the past, but I
thank you for what you're going to do I release that even first
portion now in Jesus name and I thank you and praise you for
that Lord in Jesus name Amen
Amen. Just one more thing change could you just close
your eyes for a moment and?
Maybe in this place and you haven't given your life to
Christ. Night as I said, I
haven't given you alive. Sometimes we give you my
heart, but not always a whole life follows.
And maybe you're here and you haven't given your loft across
but you want to you don't have
relationship with God. Bible says if you believe in your
heart confess with your mouth
will be saved. So if you're here and you haven't given your life
to Christ, but you want to. With every close in every hit bat out
if that's you right where you asked above your head and say
that's made this morning on a give my life to Christ on our
relationship with God on a give
my life to him. If that is, you right where you are slip up your
hand nice and hard this right
where you at. And say that's me, this morning on a give my life.
Christ Oh never relationship with God. I wanna join his
family coming in his Kingdom if that is your right where you are
slip your hand and say that's me, this morning. I wanna give
my life to Christ on our
relationship with God. Church would you lift your hands to
heaven? Father in Jesus name or declare your blessing and favor
upon your People. Lord I can load for all that. You've been
doing in everyone's lives. But I thank you. Lord you got even
greater ahead. I declare my this week may they know that goodness
and mercy will follow them down this week and I just pray that
experience of goodness in all that they do I thank you and
praise your from Lord in Jesus name Amen? Let's worship God, a
little bit, he's an awesome God.
