Wealth, Patience, & Prayer - James Ch. 5
Pastor Kevin concludes our series in the book of James. Chapter 5 covers a warning to those with wealth, a charge to be patient in suffering, and call to prayer at all times.
Repentance & Drawing Near to God — James Ch. 4
In this message, Pastor Kevin teaches on James ch 4, which is all about submitting to God. He talks about quarrels, being judgemental, a lack of trust, and other things that result from us not submitting to God. James then offers us a way back to God through repentance. This chapter of James shows us how to repent and return back to God. When we draw near to God, he draws nears to us.
The Power of Words — James Ch. 3
In this message, Pastor Kevin preaches on James chapter 3, which is all about the power of our words. Our words have the power to bring life to others, but they also have the power to cause harm. With the same mouth we bless God yet curse others. That should not be so. James warns us that the words we speak are really a reflection of our heart. Taming the tongue is less about trying harder, and more about leaning on the power of God to transforms our hearts.
Favoritism, Faith & Works - James Ch. 2
In this message, we hear from Pastor Justin as he teaches James chapter 2. He discusses James’ teaching on not showing favoritism in the church, followed by James’ explanation of faith and works. Salvation is not something that we earn by good works. However, salvation by faith will always result in love and good works. Salvation does not require good works. Salvation produces good works. So if works are not present, then we must ask if we have true faith.
