Pride and Humility 17.02.2019 58:44 ↓

Frank Sinatra was known for singing “I did it my way”; even though the song is beautiful, the philosophy of life behind it is foolish and ungodly. James warns us of our pride and its effects on our speech and our lives. He challenges us to consider our proud way of thinking, and our independent spirit that pulls us away from true submission of our wills to God.

When we follow the wisdom of the world (3:15), we will have fights and quarrels that James teaches us about in 4:1-3.

The Mighty Tongue 06.01.2019 54:02 ↓

In this message, we will look at the longest section in the Bible that is clearly and directly talking about the tongue. When you go to the doctor’s office, what is one of the things that ask to see? Your tongue, right? You can learn a lot from your tongue. A good doctor doesn’t tell you what you want to hear. A good doctor tells you what you need to hear. Our doctor this morning is James and he i...

Temptation 30.09.2018 47:23 ↓

When trouble comes into our lives, we can be tempted to blame others. In these verses, we learn that God doesn't ever tempt Christians to sin, but we are only tempted from our own evil desires.
