Everyone wants to have a successful life.Throughout the year we make daily choices that determine whether or not we are successful. Join us as we will continue to share the principles that will help us make decisions for Godly success.
As Christians, we know that our Heavenly Father wants the best for all of His children. He wants us to be successful in every area of our lives. And we must understand that success is not based on what we do (career or job), it is based on who we are. It’s making right decisions stemming from who we are in Christ.
Life can be hard. It’s full of twists, turns, and decisions that we have to make. The choices we make determine the course of our lives. The decisions we make not only affect us, but they affect those around us as well. What choices are the right ones? What makes the difference between failure and success?
In chapter 5, James winds down his letter by showing us that the heart of God is open to every aspect of our Christian lives through prayer and praise. He concludes his letter with the message that Christian fellowship is a safety net to protect all from falling away from God’s grace.
In chapter 5 of our expository sermon series, James encourages Christians to be patient and strong in their faith as they wait for the Lord's coming. We will see our harvest!
A Living Faith cannot be achieved without a humble dependence on God. James cautions us against having an attitude of independence from our Creator. He also issues a challenge to every believer to live according to what we know in the Lord.
A living faith cannot be achieved through pride because God resists the proud. Therefore, being humble should be of the utmost importance to us. In fact, submitting ourselves to God in humility is our responsibility as Christ-confessing believers. Join us as we explore the humble attributes of a living faith revealed in James 4:1-12.
In the first chapter of James’ letter, we learned that if we feel that we lack wisdom, we can ask God for it. Join us as we discover James’ definition of what wisdom really is—his unique understanding of what wisdom from God actually looks like.
Words can hurt or heal. They can leave scars and cuts, or they can be soothing medicine. Thus it’s imperative to be careful what we say to others.Can we control what we say? Yes.Is it always easy? No, but with the Lord’s help, we can.
Being in control of what we say is part of how we demonstrate our living faith. Our words have power so what we say truly matters. James teaches us that the caution and care with what we say reveals a true spiritual maturity.
James seems to say that we need to work for our salvation. But is that true?Salvation is simple: faith by grace. At the same time, our actions matter.Transformation occurs in the life of the believer after salvation. What does that look like?
Do you see others the way God sees them?In his epistle, James establishes the principle of no partiality. As Christians, we need to embrace this same principle in the life of the church. Join us as we continue our exploration of James, and discover how to see others as God sees them.
There are so many ways that we can access and enjoy the Scriptures. We can:read our Biblesread Bible apps on our phones or computerscheck the verse of the daylisten to online sermons and podcasts as we perform daily tasksHearing God’s Word is not a problem for most of us, but applying it to our lives is.Do we hear it and receive it? Or do we hear it and walk away from it to do what we want instead?We all must decide how we handle the word of truth.
More than any other book in the New Testament, James places a spotlight on the necessity for believers to think, speak, and act in faith. Do your actions mirror the faith that you proclaim? James helps us answer this challenging question and develop a living, thriving faith.Join us as we begin a new sermon series exploring the Epistle of James.
But does the Bible really tell us to never judge? Should we judge others? If so, when should we judge, and how should we do it?Join us as we discover what the Bible has to say.
Join us as we wrap up exploring the scriptures concerning the destiny of the believer.Destiny is God's divine will for your existence. It’s your appointed and ordained future into what God has called you to become.
There is a difference between fate and destiny. Fate is predetermined outcomes set by outside forces, while destiny is a journey you are called to join but have a choice of whether or not you will accept the calling.Destiny is God's purpose for you. It's your appointed and ordained future into what God has called you to become.
There are promises, goals, and dreams that God has placed in your heart. You didn’t come up with them on your own. Those aren’t just your desires; God put them there. The “secret petitions of your heart” are the things you dream about, that you haven’t told anyone. They seem too big, too far out. That’s your Destiny Calling. That’s God telling you what you can become.
Join us for the conclusion of our sermon series, Hope in God!
Do you know the way to deal with discouragement? It’s not numbing our sense of sorrow but rather setting it in right relationship to God. In God alone, we find the peace we need. He alone gives life.
