Words of Life with Pat Murphy

As we continue in our series, James asks; "What causes quarrels and fights among you?" The answer may surprise us, as we unpack some more wisdom here in these words of life, beginning in Chapter 4.

As we finish off James Chapter 3, we'll see again, the differences between worldly wisdom (the world's definition of "success"), and the wisdom that comes from God.

As we continue our series, Pat does a bit of review. And we'll learn from this letter of James, that teachers of "grace," are not "anti-law."

As we continue our thoughts on "taming the tongue" from James, Chapter 3, Pat will share Dr. Warren Wiersbe's "12 Words That Can Transform Your Life!"

As we start our look at James, Chapter 3, we get to those "annoying little words," about trying to tame that "annoying little thing" we call the tongue.

Continuing in James, Chapter 2, Pat will help explain the relationship between "faith" and "deeds." (And, no members of the Salvation Army were harmed in the production of this broadcast!)

Did you know we are still under the law? Not the Mosaic Law, but rather, something that James calls; "The Royal Law." Pat will explain, as we start into Chapter 2 of the Book of James.

Pat will finish making the "Bible Sandwich" he started last time here in the Book of James and for a "side dish," we'll add some important words from Isaiah 58.

Pat continues our series on the book of James, by beginning to make a "Bible Sandwich!" (Talk about "feeding" yourself on the Word!)

The love and grace that come from our Father of the Heavenly Lights! Pat will show the importance, as well as the positive effects that come, from "magnifying" all of that in our lives.

No one enjoys having their faith tested, but as we continue in our series on this letter from James, we'll see that "testing" is the only way to produce perseverance.

Pat continues his series on the Book of James. As we'll learn, James tells it like it is; practical, simple, and sometimes a little blunt, but an amazing letter for sure!

Pat introduces a series on the Book of James. A letter that starts with one of the strangest statements ever made.

In Philippians 3, Paul says that we are Citizens of Heaven, but how do you work that out in a secular country like Canada? Pat shares a bit of a "game plan."

We say we stand on the Bible, but how do we know it's trustworthy? Pat shares some good reasons to believe this Word can be trusted.

Sometimes you just need to soak yourself in some of the "positive" words of the Bible! Join Pat for these encouraging words in Isaiah, Chapter 40.

Pat shares two Scripture Verses, along with a Principle to keep in mind for every time you read the Bible.

Jesus spoke about a harvest; not of crops, but of souls. However, that can't happen until we do some "digging up" of the hardened, unploughed ground of our own hearts. These ancient words from the Prophet Hosea certainly have something to say to us!

Pat will show the importance of offering hospitality, particularly here in Canada, where God is truly bringing the "mission field" to our doorstep.

Pat borrows some words from Oswald Chambers, who lived more than 100 years ago. Listen to "6 sermons in 13 minutes!"

Pat gives us a reminder of just how important that little word "faith" actually is. In fact, it's a word that carries a lot of weight.

Pat shares a strange story from the Bible and the life of the Apostle Paul. The lesson God had for Paul, He also has for us.

Pat concludes these lessons from this final Chapter in the Gospel of John, with a reminder that, if we return in repentance and faith, we just cannot fall far enough for God to ever be "done" with us!

In one of his favourite stories from the Bible, Pat shares some good lessons for us in this intimate "Post-Resurrection Encounter" that Jesus had with his disciples on the shores of Galilee.

Pat waxes somewhat "musical" this time, with a hymn that emphasizes the importance of having our eyes open, and our inner selves full of light.
