“Not Your Throne”

“Not Your Throne”

You know the old saying? “If you can’t say anything nice, don’t say anything at all.” Well James says to us, if you can’t say anything nice, what does that say about you? Ouch. You may suffer from Chronic Critique Syndrome (CCS). If you’re quick…

“Get Right with God”

“Get Right with God”

Repentance is a change of thinking and feeling. It’s about reorientation – literally to turn. Turn away from something and toward something else. Do you trust Him enough to turn toward Him? Your decisions determine your direction. Take some time…

“A Cure for Chaos”

“A Cure for Chaos”

Peace begins with the Peace Maker. The cure for chaos is to recognize: 1. Chaos is not normal for the Christ follower 2. Christ is not the author of chaos 3. We cannot create true peace by ourselves. (It must be done in partnership with God.) 4…

“A Beautiful Life”

“A Beautiful Life”

Competition is a good thing! Until it’s not.. Until someone gets stepped on, pushed aside, or left behind. James says the wisest among us live lives characterized by deeds done in humility. Humility meaning gentleness, kindness, or best translated…

“Taming the Untamable”

“Taming the Untamable”

Consider the power of the tongue. With it, teachers instruct their students, leaders inspire, a friend comforts a grieving loved one, a groom declares his vow to his bride. But that same tongue is the source of some of our greatest evil…

“Favoritism”

“Favoritism”

We all carry biases and prejudices with us wherever we go. We have differing likes and dislikes. With so many differences, how do we love others? Including those who are different than us… Rich vs. poor, local vs. immigrant, men vs. women…

“Real Faith Works”

“Real Faith Works”

There is nothing you can DO to earn God’s favor. With grace, it doesn’t matter how often you come to church, how loud you sing, or how much you serve or give. There is absolutely nothing you can do to earn God’s favor or make yourself worthy of it…

“The Man in the Mirror”

“The Man in the Mirror”

This week, James challenges us to take a good look at ourselves as believers and ensure we are walking the walk, not just talking the talk. We must practice what the Word of God says. James says do not forget, meaning do not overlook what God says…

“What Would James Do?”

“What Would James Do?”

February 27, 2017

Does anger have an influence on your life? James warns us that we should be slow to become angry because human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. Anger is a tool we use to fix things, but it often does more damage. Anger is…

“Don’t Talk With Your Mouth Full”

“Don’t Talk With Your Mouth Full”

February 19, 2017

This weekend, the words of James challenge us to be quick to listen slow. Yes, you read that right. There is an element of irony in James’s words, because the fact of the matter is you can’t listen quickly. You can’t listen quickly if you do it…

“Good Good Father”

“Good Good Father”

February 13, 2017

God is good, all the time. All the time, God is good. This true statement may strike you as a cliché – Especially if you are in a situation that feels hopeless or seems helpless. James pleads with his reader “don’t be deceived by your…

“Play the Movie”

“Play the Movie”

February 5, 2017

The Proverbs often speak of life as a journey. We’re all walking down a path, but not all paths lead to the same place. Wise people have looked at the map. Of course, you can’t know for sure what looms down the road, but the wise disciple…

“In God We Trust?”

“In God We Trust?”

January 29, 2017

Money acts like a god and promises power, protection, provision, and pleasure. No wonder we put our trust in the almighty dollar rather than the Almighty God. But James warns us, don’t trust anything more than we trust Jesus. Jesus knows we are…

“Seeking & Forsaking Wisdom”

“Seeking & Forsaking Wisdom”

January 22, 2017

Does anyone need wisdom today? If you rearrange your life around becoming a wise person, the payoff will exceed anything you can imagine. Wisdom comes with age… We learn by doing… By trial and error… With time… But that brings no comfort for…

“What Suffering Causes”

“What Suffering Causes”

January 15, 2017

What if that which we learned in hindsight became something we believed by faith in foresight? James says don’t waste a crisis. Instead of seeking the cause of suffering, celebrate what suffering causes. Instead of asking “Why is this happening…”

“Stewardship of Our Vision & Voice”

“Stewardship of Our Vision & Voice”

December 4, 2016

This weekend, we heard a message about stewardship. Surprisingly, not about stewardship of stuff. What is more valuable than money? When you think about good stewardship of our assets, our vision and our voice are more important. What we do with…

“3 Steps Toward Utopia”

“3 Steps Toward Utopia”

September 25, 2016

God’s vision is that His Church would be the one place on earth where the ground is level: where race doesn’t matter, where success doesn’t matter, where weight doesn’t matter. The human next to you right now or in front of you in line at the…
