To Live the Will of God, Pray • James 5:13-20
People think of prayer like it was magic, and because they think like that they are disappointed.
Magic is predictable, works every time. Every time Frodo puts that ring on his finger, he disappears. People think prayer ought to work predictably and they are disappointed. I prayed and it didn’t happen.
Get a Hero • James 5:9-12
When you’re trying to learn a skill it really helps to have a role model. A hero, someone who inspires you to say, that’s what I want to be.
Strengthen Your Heart • James 5:1-8
James isn’t impressed by the rich and powerful. And they aren’t impressed with him, either.
Intentional Living • James 4:11-17
Question: How do you know God loves you?
Answer: Because He disciplines you to share His holiness.
The Path to Peace • James 4:1-10
The path to peace and satisfaction is hard to find.
What doesn’t help is that we are convinced we know where it is, and we are wrong. Instead what we pursue makes conflict, while we sincerely work for happiness.
The Goodness of Wisdom • James 3:13-18
No parent wants to see their children live foolishly, make bad decisions, not be able to see potential dangers and snares. So our Father in heaven is going to teach us to be wise.
Bridled By Christ • James 3:1-12
What you say gives you away. Our hearts are desperately wicked and it comes out in the way we talk, to family, to friends, to people, to ourselves. If you don’t believe that, today James will make you a believer.
Saving Faith • James 2:14-26
Ever since he began his letter James has been talking about faith.
Today he speaks about faith that saves. That’s the faith you want. What use is a faith that doesn’t save?
The Law of Liberty • James 2:1-13
Church is different from any human institution on the planet, or should be.
It is a direct, visible, testimony to the existence of God.
Don’t Cheat Yourself • James 1:22-27
The crown of life is so valuable that James is going to rough us up today.
I had to be rough with a friend once because he was lazy.
