Introduction We are in a study of the book of James Sometimes as I read James, think he may have been a little ADHD.

Celebrate Faith Cultural “Have faith” diminishes faith to wishful thinking. But Faith is something that is divinely Biblical and distinctly Christian. It’s such an important motif throughout scripture that we see it again and again and again. Today I hope to address the topic of faith through a question-answer…

1 Then He spoke a parable to them, that men always ought to pray and not lose heart, 2 saying: “There was in a certain city a judge who did not fear God nor regard man. 3 Now there was a widow in that city; and she came to him, saying, ‘Get justice for me from my adversary.’ 4 And he would not for a…

Now without faith it is impossible to please God, since the one who draws near to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him. By faith Enoch was taken away, and so he did not experience death. He was not to be found because God took him away. For before he was taken away,…

Is faith something we believe in our hearts, something we think in our heads, or something we do with our hands? James tells us in his letter to the churches that faith is all of these working together at the same time.

I want to further define the saying “Helmet of Salvation" that is mentioned as one of the “fruits of the spirit” But let us, who are of the day, be sober, putting on the breastplate of faith and love; and for an helmet, the hope of salvation. So the “Helmet of Salvation” is our hope of glory. And what…

Christ is not said to have received salvation,but to be salvation itself.

Romans 4:3 (ESV) — 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” 3 For what does the Scripture say? “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness.” Romans 4:11–12 (ESV) — 11 He received the sign of circumcision as a seal of…

Last week we started in chapter 4 of the book of Romans - and the issue of salvation by grace with the implications of faith in that conversation. From a human perspective - salvation by grace doesn’t make any sense. Salvation sounds like something that we earn. In fact, that is taught in many faith…

(Nun story — “Now that’s what I call faith!”) So far, James has taught us that “A Faith That Works” is a Faith that — — allows itself to be built through enduring trials — seeks God’s provision and grace in prayer… daily! — understands that our “riches” are not in this world — turns to God for everything…

2 My brethren, count it all joy when you fall into various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces patience. 4 But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.

“Find It Pure Joy...” James tells us to “find it pure Joy” when we face trials… BUT… How do we do that?
