alright, so

Few weeks till Christmas and we do plan on having the regular scheduled meeting times on Christmas.

And if you have early morning, kids who need to come and climb out and get their presents or whatever, for you going to be there with them or you're out of town, then you're excused to go ahead with our with our Standard Time as part of our worship, might be a special message on the menu will see what the Holy Spirit can craft between now and then I don't know if you think he's good enough to do something and I don't know.

so, while we are in James 3:1, Where we read my brother, and let not many of you become teachers knowing that we shall receive a stricter judgement.

A stricter judgment and we have reviewed the history and timeline of the Book of James and immersed, ourselves in the very history recorded in the text of the Bible itself about what was happening at the time.

The Book of James was recorded and you missed several people come up and tell me, they appreciated that and We do have the recording along with the slides and if you did miss it, for some reason, you can go back.

Just let me know and I'll text message it to you.

We don't have a good rapport pository for the sound slide.

At this point.

We have repository, for, for the audio recording, lonely will have to text you.

Each of the individual messages, if you want to see the sound or give the sound at your computer and watch the slides as they go across, which I think helps with the teaching at least the way I'm delivering it now, so I'm all conservative.

Non-liberal scholarship is pretty much in agreement with James Peron.

This important epistle.

Prior to the Jerusalem Council, that is recorded and Acts chapter 15.

In Acts chapter 15.

We have that great Council.

That was called by the coming off of the Apostle Paul cuz he was being accused of teaching in properly when actually people are coming and teaching falsely to his Converse and so he came up to Jerusalem so that there wouldn't be any more of this.

Well Jerusalem said, so Paul went to Jerusalem to make sure that everything was clear, he confronted the Council of Jerusalem Here's this nobody Apostle Paul people heard of him, but they didn't know him.

He wasn't around with Jesus.

He wasn't there for the Miracles.

He wasn't there at the death, crucifixion, and resurrection of our Lord.

Jesus Christ.

Has he come from, what right does?

He have getting off saying that, he knows proper Doctrine and we don't.

Well, he came up to the church or up to Jerusalem, to the temple, where they all gather together.

Who may have a little powwow if you will.

Everyone got their Indian feathers out?

They sat down around the campfire.

They started to pull out the Buffalo to roast and they said they got to work and gave him his understanding of the gospel and also brought them up to speed on his background that Peter had connected with him.

Some of the leaders of the church knew who he was, where he came from, but this meeting need to happen.

It was designated and ordained by God for his purposes.

And at that point, it became clear that there was a gospel message that needed to be spread to the Gentiles.

Paul had a burden for the Jews, and yet he was called to the Gentiles.

And so, with his burden constantly burning for the Jews, he was out there teaching and ministering, an Avenged lysing.

Gentiles.

Those unbelievers who didn't know anything of Judaism, which Paul and his own attestation, is the jittery Judy weisser of all judaizers.

If there is anyone who is representative of a Jew, it was Paul.

And yet, he is the Apostle to the Gentiles.

And here in Jerusalem and Acts chapter 15, he gives his piece and then James, the leader of the church at that time and the author of our book.

Gave his confession says go out, we only ask that you do these four things that you might be able to carry the gospel to Jews.

Of course, that was the very one thing that Paul held, most dear and wanted to do so that was, of course, not a problem.

We're going to run into that this week of Lord willing.

If we get to that point in the, in the teaching,

so now,

All conservative non-liberal scholarship is in agreement that James penned, this important, a pistol, the first written document to.

And for the church hoodie pendant wire 2, best Jerusalem Council is recorded in Acts 15 and intimacy pistol at the beginning of the second section which corresponds to the.

If you remember, our organization is slow to speak.

Portion of the outline of the pistol.

We see this in James 1:19, you said.

So then my beloved Brethren, let every man be swift to hear slow to speak and slow to wrath.

We find but Loosely our entire Epistle of James wraps around those three posts.

Arrest the stool of his message on the three legs that will support it.

If you will, we have the concept of being Swift to hear that it is listening to go taking in Divine Viewpoint, orienting to the word, not being a listener only but being a doer.

And with that said, there should be reverberations of conviction where we have not actually done the word of God but we have listened only, we take it in Doctrine, I love that house that apply to my life.

So James comes down and he says, you know, who do that or like a person who glances at your face in the mirror and you immediately forget what you look like as you walk away.

Well, that would be me.

I glad somebody mirror and then I have no clue afterwards, what I look like.

Can you say?

We wish you did?

Did you pay more attention to that?

Remember we have our second section where we are to be slow to speak with swift to hearing is orienting to God's word.

What it's about orientation to God's word, is what the Swift to hear is about him.

Not just orienting to understand it, but orienting to have our souls being the doors on that.

Those of you who know the vocabulary epignosis of a full it is that more mature knowledge that comes from experience in the coming up on Ministry of the holy spirit.

Wear in God, Blends for us, Bible Doctrine, truth with our situational reality, and we have the maturity.

We know how that is expressed in life.

God, the Holy Spirit, then takes it and places it in that compartment of our soul.

That we Cycle it and reuse it and keep it going.

It is a point of reference for our thinking.

So that is in that first section being Swift to hear.

And then slow to speak.

Here, we find that Paul is doing something different now.

He hasn't quite left off.

1B slow down the Swift to hear, which is why verse one of this passage is a little bit.

You need all the rest of the passage is talking about the time, the barrel.

What you say, how simple the things are that come out of your list, how unmindful we are actually carrying what we say.

Because our mentality, our thinking our soul overflows through her mouth, and sometimes we just don't give a rip.

And so we say what it is, that we think there's an old adage that the older you get.

The more you're able to just say whatever you think will that would be just the opposite of what scripture teaches.

You know, there is another as you were when you were a child.

So you will become when you're an adult somewhat true.

I actually in a little bit worried about that day, I was a little too outspoken as a child.

I had a tendency to insulting and say things that were hard for people to hear because well, So I don't want necessarily return to that.

I'm praying that the Lord is actually massage my soul and massage you in the oil with his word, that I might be more flexible to hear him more responsive to him.

So that what comes out of my lips at those times is more appropriate.

We can all pray that now we find in this second section on the topic of speech that the leader of the church at Jerusalem wants to front load the discussion about speech.
