![Putting Our Faith Into Practice // Heavenly Wisdom vs Earthly Wisdom [James 3:13-18] (Tim Norris)](https://d3t3ozftmdmh3i.cloudfront.net/staging/podcast_uploaded_nologo/2181557/2181557-1566347775700-a830f064251cd.jpg "Putting Our Faith Into Practice // Heavenly Wisdom vs Earthly Wisdom [James 3:13-18] (Tim Norris)")
Tim Norris discusses "Earthly Wisdom" and "Heavenly Wisdom" and what that means from the end of James 3.
We jump into Tim giving us a quick overview of what has been covered in the last couple of chapters before he starts going through the passage for today. Tim looks at how we define wisdom based on people around us and their "status", and how the world defines wisdom from Romans 1, and even in Genesis 3. He then compares this to the "Christian" wisdom that James writes about here in our passage and also referred to in Proverbs 9, looking at how these different types of wisdom operate in our lives. Tim then breaks our passage into four key sections, focusing on "Godly Wisdom" and "Earthly Wisdom", and the fruits of them both.

Gavin Lynch looks at how to manage our mouth as James discusses in Chapter 3.
Andrew Linton starts us off with a pastoral prayer before handing over to Gavin who gives us a brief intro before asking Jonathan Linton to read the passage for today. Gavin then looks at the clarity that James hopes to give here, with the theme "Our words have the power to be a blessing or a curse – you choose!", and the main point being "The tongue can cause great destruction if not controlled". He then breaks the passage up into 4 main points, vs 1-2, vs 3-5, vs 6-8, and vs 9-12. Gavin looks at each of these sections with a takeaway for each section.

He then turns to Luke 24 to see how Jesus answers the question. After reading the passage, Lewis gives us some context of what we've just read before drawing six points from it. While looking at these points, Lewis also shares a bit about his time living and serving in Bangladesh.

He then looks at 1 Corinthians 15 and the Ressurection story presented here. Kanda then looks at five different ways that the devil has tried attacking God's plan, and how even through all this, Jesus achieved the cross. Kanda then looks at two of the "seven sayings ofresurrection Jesus" to wrap it all up with his own salvation story from the darkness of Hinduism and a challenge to accept the Gospel.

He then looks at the homonym and the trials and temptations we may face, and what James has to say about this.

Kris then dives into why righteousness is important, looking at references from both the Old Testament and the New Testament outlining this. He then discusses what "Positional Righteousness" is and means in a Christian life. Kris shares the importance of not only external righteousness but also internal righteousness.

Sam Crosbie jumps right into the book of James in our new series, looking at the first four verses this week.
Sam looks at the passage right away, starting in verse 1 of James chapter 1, to introduce us to our audience. He then looks at the analogy of running for the sake of running, or for doing something for an "end goal" but no other purpose, before swinging around to his statement for this passage - “A desire for maturity should outlast any desire for a trial to pass.” Sam then looks at what a "trial" is, especially the one facing the audience of the book of James, and how we face them in the "Christian life". He then suggests three things that are "vital to our maturity being greater than our desire for a trial to pass".

Gavin Lynch wraps up our book overview of Nehemiah, and our "Who Are We?" series as a whole this week, looking at Nehemiah 13.
Gavin gives us an overview of our study this year leading to the question "What do we need to do now?" Gavin then looks at an illustration of how we can tend to "play up when the Master isn't home". Titling his message "Avoiding the Pitfalls", Gavin presents his theme for today as "God's people should strive for obedience in all areas of life." As he progresses through the chapter, Gavin looks at five key points: As believers we should... "...not be compromised by the culture around us", "...guard our temple from the enemy", "...support the work and the workers of the church", "...put time aside to worship", and "...only date and marry other believers". Gavin wraps up by answering his question "What do we need to do now". "Let's be people who want to get rid of the sin that entangles us, live lives that glorify God, and keep our eyes fixed on Jesus."

Bradley Joubert continues our study in Nehemiah, looking at chapters 8 to 12.
Bradley gives us a very brief introduction of himself before diving straight into our text for today after opening with prayer. After reading from the passage, Bradley looks at our first point, "Confession". With four points, he looks at how "the confessions of the Israelites were brought about by the Word of God", "this confession is accompanied by sincere feeling", "the confession is specific and detailed", and "the entire confession is punctuated with praise for Gods faithfulness". Bradley then moves on to his second point, "Covenant". Bradley looks at how "The covenant that they made was founded on the Word of God", and "taken together, confession and covenant are what we mean by the word repentance". Moving on to his third and final point, "Christ", Bradley poses the question "Where does this all lead us?"

He then looks at the contrast between "Effective Leadership" and "Revelatory Leadership" as hinted at in the passage today. Jeremy then takes us through our chapters today verse by verse looking at how Nehemiah reacted to the pushbacks he faced.
