James 1:26-27

Jordan addresses the negative connotations of "bad religion" but clarifies that religion itself is not inherently bad. He explores practicing pure Christianity by emphasizing compassion for the helpless and a concern for holiness. Christians are called to care for vulnerable populations while also resisting worldly values and behaviors. The sermon highlights the importance of genuine faith that transforms lives and encourages believers to look to Jesus as an example. It challenges the congregation to pursue compassion and holiness in their daily lives actively.
