Christ Church Fox Chapel Podcast

In the final sermon of our James series, James moves on to talk about some practical things we can do in suffering, especially in prayer. Sometimes people say that offering to pray is not enough, or is just the least we can do. James describes it as the most we can do. This attitude reveals that our trust is often still in human endeavor. For James, works are the outworking of faith, not a substit...

Little words might seem insignificant but ultimately we are either for or against God. What we say reveals where our hearts are. We can't use our mouths both for and against God (otherwise our hearts would be equally divided.) In the end there are no neutrals, one is either of God or worldly. Worldly is not neutral either—it can even be demonic! Readings from this service: James 3: 1-18 Psalm...

A person who claims to have faith will manifest that faith in how they live. Readings from this service: James 2: 14-26 Psalm 146: 1-4 Matthew 7: 15-20 Thanks for listening!

Rev. Alex starts off our new series, James: a working faith. Each passage deals with the question of what faith looks like in practice.

God calls us to be agents of His justice in the world, and to live out the Gospel in a way that reflects God's heart for justice. This includes concern and advocacy for the poor and marginalized, seeking righteousness for ourselves and for society, and calling out evil so that we might call the world to repentance. Our job is to be salt and light to the world. Readings from this service: Mica...

Because justice is rooted in God, our first job is praye...

Laodicea is tepid, and their ambivalence to God is repugnant to Him. It leaves them in danger of a most graphic promise (I will spit you out.) However, God also promises something amazing, he approaches us and offers us the opportunity to sit on God's throne!
