Perfect Performance and Imperfect Proposition

August 11, 2019 • Pastor Blake Wilson • James 1:12–18

With our third message in our series Be Perfect we continue in the book of James. Pastor Blake Wilson teaches from James 1:12-18 on the difference between a trial and a temptation. Temptations do not come from God but instead, come from our own internal desires.

Temptation is our lustful internal motivations desiring things outside God's will. Trials are situations to be put to the test, an experiment that involves calamity or affliction that is designed as an authentic proving ground.

Perfect Body

November 10, 2019 • Royce Robinson • James 5:19–20

The Perfect Church body is made up of imperfect people. Though we may wander off from God's truth we should be open to correction and times when our brothers and sisters in Christ are working to pull us back to where God would like us to be.

Perfect and Powerful Prayer

November 3, 2019 • Pastor Blake Wilson • James 5:13–18

With the 15th message in our series on the book of James, Pastor Blake teaches on the latter half of James chapter 5. Many of us would say that we are not envious or jealous, however, the lack of prayers in our lives may reveal that we do not believe God will do it for us so we resign ourselves not to ask. However, God perfects us by afflicting us and allow us to suffer and during those times in which we suffer prayers are to be offered up.

Perfect Patience

October 27, 2019 • Pastor Blake Wilson • James 5:7–12

With the 14 message in our series on the book of James, Pastor Blake teaches on the first half of James chapter 5. It is important to recognize that while we wait on God we do not give up hope and knowledge of knowing God will and can come through. We take a look back on Exodus 16 and see that the children of Israel forgot how God moved in the past and showed their impatience. We can also become impatient but is important to not complain while God is moving on His timing and not our own timing.
