Worship Wars
Arriving at chapter four of the book of James, we are given the cause and the cure for divisions that take place among God’s people. The path that James lays out for us is a difficult one. But James reassures us that if we’ll do things God’s way, grace will be given so that we may do God’s will.
Divine Wisdom verses Demonic Wisdom
Deception is always a clear and present danger for the Church. It’s possible to be under the assumption that you’re following God, when in reality you’re headed in the opposite direction. Join us in James chapter three as James lays out what a life looks like that is dominated by God’s wisdom and what demonic wisdom will look like in a person’s life.
Taming the Untamable
Living faith, that is faith that produces life in us, is active and life changing. Coming to the third chapter of James, we now discover that there is something in us that no one can control. However, once this living faith is activated in our lives, it can control the uncontrollable in us. Join as we look at both our enemy and our ally in this important struggle.
Dead Faith verses Living Faith
Many misunderstand what James is putting forth at the end of chapter 2. Some see a contradiction between what James says here and what the Apostle Paul has told us earlier in the New Testament. James is not pitting works against faith as an either or choice. But rather he is comparing two different kinds of faith. One kills and one makes alive. Which faith do you possess? Join us this week and allow the Word of God to reveal to you whether you are spiritually alive or dead.
The Effects of an Encounter with God
When a life has had an encounter with God, that life will forever be altered. We can say that we’ve had an experience with God, however just saying it doesn’t make it so. James does us a great service by showing us five effects that will be seen in the life of someone who has met God. Join us as we continue in our verse by verse study in the book of James.
