Be Perfect
The Book of James
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.
Imperfect or Perfect Judgment
October 13, 2019 • Pastor Blake Wilson • James 4:11–17
With the 12th message in our Be Perfect series on the book of James, Pastor Blake teaches from James 4:11-17. When we talk about people in a judgmental manner without grace we are saying that our own words are more authoritative than the word of God and this is not remotely true.
Imperfect or Perfect Motives
October 6, 2019 • Pastor Blake Wilson • James 4:1–10
With the 11th message in our series on the book of James, Pastor Blake teaches on James 4:1-10. When we think about our prayers and actions everything comes down to our motives. This requires an examination of our hearts and ultimately submission to God’s will for our lives.
Imperfect or Perfect Wisdom
September 29, 2019 • Pastor Blake Wilson • James 3:13–18
With the 10th message in our series on the book of James called Be Perfect Pastor Blake teaches from James chapter 3. We look at the real definition of wisdom and how God expects us to apply it in our lives. There's a difference between Godly and Demonic wisdom.
Perfect Faith, Perfect Works
September 15, 2019 • Pastor Blake Wilson • James 2:14–26
With the 8th message in our series, Be Perfect, Pastor Blake teaches from James 2 and makes an important distinction. Your works do not prove or determine your status as it relates to salvation but if you have received saving faith then it should drive you to do good works to solve people's problems. Sometimes saying "I'll pray for you" is not enough we have to demonstrate our faith by action.
Perfect Love, Perfect Living
September 8, 2019 • Royce Robinson • James 2:8–13
With the 7th message in our series, Be Perfect on the book of James, Pastor Royce Robinson teaches from James 2:8-13 on Perfect Love, Perfect Living. Perfect love looks a certain way and God has an expectation on how we need to display love in our lives.
Perfect Perspective
September 1, 2019 • Pastor Blake Wilson • James 2:1–7
With the sixth message in our series, Be Perfect on the book of James, Pastor Bake teaches from James 2:1-7 on Perfect Perspective. God is not a God who shows partiality or is a respecter of persons. We look at the issue of classism in the church and how God informs us to treat people.
Perfect Religion
August 25, 2019 • Pastor Blake Wilson • James 1:26–27
With the fifth message in our series Be Perfect, Pastor Blake teaches from James 1:26-27. God’s word lays out exactly what “perfect religion” looks like and we must understand perfect religion is defined by our contaminated perception of ourselves and our corrupt communication to and about others. God’s definition of religion versus our own definition.
Perfect Actions
August 18, 2019 • Pastor Blake Wilson • James 1:19–26
With the fourth message in our series Be Perfect, Pastor Blake teaches from James 1:19-26 on how God has not only prepared us for every trial but now is the time that God is calling us to take action. We must control our attitude and actions when we are in a trial. As we move toward maturity we must also put behind us anything that hinders us from hearing the word and applying it to our lives.
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 Prayer, Perfect Place
August 4, 2019 • Reggie Holiday • James 1:5–11
With our second message in our series Be Perfect we continue in the book of James. Reggie Holiday teaches from James 1:5-11 about how we should pray. Our prayers should contain elements of applying biblical wisdom, lifting faith over doubt and finding contentment in our current position. If you lack wisdom then pray but think about how you go about praying.
