You know more about the world than anyone before you, but has that knowledge changed anything in you? This sermon opens with startling data about the flood of information we are drowning in, then turns to James and his blunt words about faith without deeds (James 2). It turns out that information is not transformation, and the difference comes down to one simple word we mention least often. Listen and see what stands today between what you know and what you actually do.

Do It for One
Crowds-crowds everywhere-and in a crowd, it’s hard to notice a single person and their needs. Sometimes we’d even like to do something good for others, but there are so many of them and so many needs. After all, we can’t possibly help everyone.
Jesus, too, was often surrounded by crowds, but as we read the Gospels, we see how consciously He devoted His attention to individuals. He didn’t just see the crowd; He saw each person, their stories, and their problems, setting an example for us on how to continue His mission. Someone once aptly said, “Do for one what you would like to do for everyone.”
