#NoOneLeftBehind
“For the last year, you have propped up our arms through some really difficult times. Don't stop now. Not just for us, but for all of us. Because that's what makes this so special. That's what James is trying to teach us. It doesn't matter, you know, what... How big our house is or what we drive or anything. What matters is that we're part of his family. No one no one falls to the cracks. No one. We all matter to god.”
55s
#LoveLikeJesus
“Listen to this. The ministry of Jesus was marked by radical inclusion without compromising truth. Make no mistake. Jesus value community. His love seals up all the cracks, and that love flows through us. The ultimate measure of community health is not mere church attendance, but the abundance of love. People should leave Highland Heights Baptist Church every Sunday. Come in there every Sunday and know how radically and genuinely loved they are because you matter. James is trying to teach us that health healthy Christian community is built when every person is treated with treated with dignity, honor, and love that Christ has shown us.”

#KnowYourWorth
“Honor is more than meeting needs. Honor communicates personal worth because we are all created in the image of god. Let me tell you something. If Satan can convince you that you are less than that, he will do things in your life to destroy you. I promise you. I've seen it happen over and over again. Because too many of our young folks and folks, we look around and let... We judge our life based upon what everybody else says. That perfect life we see on Instagram or on social media. If I'm not that, then I must not be much. Look around you.”
43s
#ChristlikeCommunity
“They confess one lord while allowing another standard to govern their treatment of people. When Christ's glory, listen to this, fills our vision, it should radically change how we treat others. It should transform what we value. Look around you. We're family. This is the way we're supposed to be. How we treat each other as family, the community that we have. But we will never be family with people that we don't speak to, that we don't get to know, that we ignore.”
46s
#EveryoneIsWelcome
“The issue is not noticing the rich man. The issue is the preferential treatment. The poor man is welcomed differently. One man received dignity while the other one received humiliation. We should all receive a sense of being welcomed and loved. Healthy communities intentionally welcome new people, awkward people. Any of us fit in that situation? I do. I know that. I do. Yes, sir. Awkward people, poor people, different people, lonely people, hurting people, healthy people. We should welcome everyone. Shouldn't we? Come on. should all feel welcome.”
40s
#GodUsesOrdinaryPeople
“James is not teaching that poverty saves. He is teaching that God frequently works through people society overlooks. Look what Jesus did. He often blesses those the world dismisses. Come on, think about who Jesus chose. He used fishermen. He used fishermen. He used tax collectors. He used common labors. He didn't go get the Jerusalem, the elite religious people. He used used common folks to do it because they they would give their heart to them. Healthy churches with healthy communities see potential where the world sees limitations.”
31s
#EveryoneDeservesToBeSeen
“People seldom leave churches because the buildings are unattractive. People leave because they don't feel seen. We need to make sure everyone feels seen. Healthy churches with healthy community are places where people can ask questions, admit struggles, seek help, grow in grace, and be vulnerable. Healthy community shall allow us to be human without the fear of rejection and judgment.”
29s
#ChurchWithoutFavoritism
“The point is particularly strong. James says favoritism creates division in the church. The church becomes unsafe when people fear being measured by human standards. The phrase judge with evil thoughts suggests that living... Being in a courtroom atmosphere where people are evaluating and ranking you. Come on. Many people can walk into a church and know within five minutes what kind of church that is.”
53s
#HelpThoseInNeed
“Let me give you several things that we need to think about. Who are the vulnerable around us? How about this? Single parents can be. Foster children, refugees, elderly shut ins, widows, people with disabilities, individuals facing crisis, the hungry, those facing mental challenges, experiencing extreme anxiety, hurting families, those who are grieving. I preached on the least of these a few weeks ago in campus community, and the scripture can refer to any of us when we struggle. We all need help at some point. This is who we're supposed to be. Think about the people around us. We need to help.”
54s
#WordsRevealTheHeart
“Think about this for a moment. Evaluate. How often do you gossip? How often do we criticize or complain? How often are we harsh or even slander others online or otherwise? Or those angry outbursts? The tongue often reveals the true condition of the soul. It's what it does. It reveals the true condition of the soul. Kinda like this. A thermometer reveals the temperature. It does not create the temperature. The tongue reveals the temperature of our life spiritually, but it doesn't necessarily create it because we're the ones behind how it speaks.”
