James 3 has challenged the pastor/teacher to remember that the standard is high and the judgment equal to it (both positive and negative). Today the standard for “teachers” deals with the nature in which they walk and teach. It isn’t good enough to be worldly wise. It isn’t good enough to be famous. Only the Lord has what we need, and the godly teacher walks with Him and teaches by His power! All who proclaim Jesus (which should be every believer) must walk the talk.

And You Are???
June 25, 2023 • Ed Eddingfield • James 4:11–12
Have you ever walked up to another and told them something you were sure that they needed to know only to have them ask, “And you are?” What they are asking is, “Who are you to tell me anything?" Sometimes they are correct; sometimes people don’t want to be told anything; sometimes people just want to challenge who you are and what authority you have. Today we are going to learn that there is a difference between being helpful and hurtful and we are going to see that much of it continues in what we have already learned: The Christian must live their Christian humility under the Lordship of Jesus Christ.
The Other 10 Commandments - Part 1
June 11, 2023 • Ed Eddingfield • James 4:4–10
Last week we discussed the idea of “chasing your passion” which doesn’t work out to well for the Christian! No, we are to “chase the Lord” for He is pursuing a relationship with us, and He has great plans for us! For two weeks we will see what it means to follow James’ 10 Commandments…the commandments that bring us to God! In Him we are blessed! Love the Lord; you won’t be disappointed!
