Count It All Joy

James 1:1-4

April 3, 2016 • Brian Brown

James is the brother of Jesus but he is a servant of God. He begins his book by reminding Christians that in this life we will have trials and we will suffer. But even in that God is good and through suffering we can experience the joy of Christ. Every trial has a purpose...and that purpose is to strengthen our faith and bring glory to God.

Investing In Eternity

June 26, 2016 • Nirup Alphonse

In light of James' exhortation to submit to God, drawing near to God, and humbling ourselves before God and submitting to His will we find ourselves face to face with our own hearts. In this text, James is going to challenge every believer to take a look at their hearts by looking at where our money goes. In the end, God desires that we use our resources to invest in eternity.

Here Today, Gone Today

We believe that tomorrow is promised. In fact we say the famous phrase, "Here today and gone tomorrow." But the Bible says that our life is a vapor. The saying should rather be, "Here today and gone today." In this passage, James instructs believers to take each day and decisions and submit it to the will of God. As we do that we experience the heart of God is our daily lives.

War & Peace

Disunity, fighting and quarreling with one another is not something that pleases the heart of God. In this text, James shows us that there are three wars in play which create disunity. He then shows us three ways to respond to experience God's peace.
