2 Corinthians 5:1-15 1 For we know that if our earthly house, this tent, is destroyed, we have a building from God, a house not made with hands, eternal in the heavens. 2 For in this we groan, earnestly desiring to be clothed with our habitation which is from heaven, 3 if indeed, having been clothed,…

James moves from warning the unsaved rich that God’s judgement is coming and from a reminder to the believers to be patient since that judgement may not come as fast as we would prefer to: a call to believers to be careful about their reactions as well.

Be careful what you promise. God’s reputation is on the line.

Jesus teaches against the abuse of oaths and vows in people's attempts to not have to do what they say. Yet, says Jesus, his followers should simply do what they say and not do what they say they won't. There should be no attempts made to get around what you've said. The faithfulness demanded of Christians points us to the perfect faithfulness of Christ to deal with the guilt and sin of our unfaithful ways.

Promises, promises! How should Christians speak in regards to the promises and commitments they make? Find out what Jesus said.

God always keeps His Word. He does everything He says He'll do. Those conforming to His Kingdom are learning to keep our Word. We shouldn't have to make promises because we ought to be known as those who do what we say we'll do. With men, this is impossible. But with God, all things are possible. He has removed our sin. He has purchased us for Himself and forgiven us and has promised us an unending life in His presence, though we deserve none of these things. May we be those who trust Him. He has proven that He is faithful and true. Recorded at Refuge TLH on Sunday, July 7, 2019.

We suffer in our society from a crisis of trust. We find it hard to believe anyone fully. Politicians lie to us by distorting figures and making promises they know they can’t deliver. We read touching stories in the news that are actually fabricated; There was a stretch earlier this year when NBC News…

God calls us to the highest standards. 1. Always be believable (vs. 33-37). 2. Go beyond what is expected of us (vs. 38-42). 3. Make sure you belong to the Father's family (vs. 43-48).

This passage is another demonstration of the problem with the teaching of the Scribes and Pharisees. As we have noticed throughout the study, the failure of the Pharisees was more than a failure to practice what they preached. The problem is that they were trying to practice the wrong preaching.
