Week 7: Wisdom

Calvary Church - Pennsylvania

Week 7: Wisdom

October 27, 2024 • Scott Messner • James 3:13–18

As we continue today in our study through the book of James, the author will ask his readers, “Who is wise and understanding among you?” In doing so, James will present two different approaches to wisdom and invite us to live seeking the wisdom from above.

More from James: Steady Faith in a Troubled World

Week 10: Patience & Prayer

November 17, 2024 • Beau Eckert • James 5:7–20

James taught us about trials and temptation, wisdom and speech, faith and works, truth and sin, wealth and poverty, and patience and prayer. As this sermon series ends today, will we be a hearer only, deceiving ourselves? Or will we put into practice what we have learned, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts? If we do, James promises we will be blessed in our doing.

Week 9: Boasting

November 10, 2024 • Beau Eckert • James 4:13—5:6

James continues to confront us with practical, yet convicting, truths on how to live with steady faith in a troubled world. Last week, he showed us a life marked by true humility—one that submits fully to God. Today, he warns us of the dangers of arrogance and boasting, reminding us to steward our plans and riches with humility and dependence on God.

Week 8: Conflict

November 3, 2024 • Beau Eckert • James 4:1–12

As James continues to emphasize full integration between our beliefs and actions, he encourages us to cease from quarreling and fighting. Instead, he urges us to humbly submit ourselves to God and His ways.
