TITLE: Putting Actions to Your Words<\/strong>
\n<\/strong><\/h1>\n

Scripture: James 2:14-26<\/strong><\/h1>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/h1>\n

We need to remind ourselves of something much greater: (we have so much to be grateful for<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 I.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 FEELINGS MATTER\u2026SO DOES DOING<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

What the leper in Luke 17 teaches us:<\/p>\n

1.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The man healed was a (Samaritan<\/strong><\/span>).\u00a0 We are (sinners<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The man healed was (overwhelmed by his healing<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0 We should be overwhelmed by (the goodness of God<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

3.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 The man healed received a (greater blessing<\/strong><\/span>) from God. We receive one also: (well done<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

\n

Being blessed is (passive<\/strong><\/span>). Being thankful is (active<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u00a0\u00a0 II.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 MORE DOING\u2026LESS TALK \u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thankfulness must involve (more doing<\/strong><\/span>) and (less talk<\/strong><\/span>). Talk is cheap and costs nothing. Expressing gratitude costs almost nothing. Being grateful as a result of (being obedient<\/strong><\/span>) does cost something.<\/p>\n

\n

A grateful outlook doesn\u2019t just happen. Giving thanks (transforms your heart<\/strong><\/span>) and it rubs off on others.<\/p>\n

\n

Gratitude should never (be a chore<\/strong><\/span>). It is an expression of the (heart\u2019s delight<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n

\n

A (useless faith<\/strong><\/span>) is one kept to oneself. A vital, working faith is one that is (shared<\/strong><\/span>) and works for the (good of others<\/strong><\/span>).<\/p>\n
