Faith & Words

James 3:1-12

May 22, 2016 • Nirup Alphonse

Words matter. In our lifetime we will spend much of it communicating, and with those words, the Bible says we have the power to speak life or death. In James 3, the author is pleading with followers of Jesus to use their words to delight in the Lord and speak life into others, just as Jesus speaks life into them.

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.
