Sermons from July 2017
If the Lord Wills – James 4:11-5:6
James exhorts us in three diverse topics. The first is to reject a judgmental, harsh spirit towards our fellow believers, for the Lord is the Judge of all. The second is that in all of our future plans and dreams, we must not be arrogant but realize how brief and frail our lives are, and instead say, “If the Lord wills, I will do this or that.” And third, we are warned by some strong words to wealthy landowners who are getting rich off mistreatment of their laborers.
Words, Wisdom, Desire and Humility
In James 3:1-4:10 – James convicts our hearts of three fundamental problems that exist in the human soul which require transformation to escape. He offers three wonderful gospel promises for those who are willing to admit their need.
Faith in Action
In James chapter two, we find that we become right with God by faith, but only by a faith that results in action – in loving God and others.
