Read MoreAre You an Example of True Faith? (James 2:21-26)
James finishes his pointed paragraph by describing the EXAMPLES of TRUE FAITH. You will be surprised, encouraged, and challenged by the half-brother of our Lord as he continues in this first NT epistle as he describes SAVING FAITH using Abraham, Rahab, and a dead body as examples.

Read MoreThe Pursuit of True Peace
The pursuit of true peace is impossible without the work of the Holy Spirit in our lives – it is the fruit, the evidence He dwells in us. We simply can’t do it only in our own strength, no matter how hard we try.
Read MoreNo Playing Favorites (James 2:1-3)
We open up chapter 2 and deal with partiality. Our Savior and Lord is very concerned about HOW YOU and I as His children, treat other people, even people that we don’t know well, or people who are different than us.
Read MoreThe Crucial Daily Practice of Obeying God’s Word (James 1:22-27)
We get a helpful exhortation from James 1:22-27 to build the daily habit of OBEDIENCE to God’s Word; not just being a HEARER but a DOER of the Truth!
Read MoreThe Danger of Religion (Luke 18:9-14)
What kind of people do we need at Faith Bible Church as we move into a new facility? You might think that hard-working, practically perfect people would be the ideal. Nothing could be further from the truth. God desires the church to be filled with imperfect, failed and flawed people who will depend entirely upon Him. He doesn’t want your pretend-perfection. He wants you to trust Him entirely with all of your life.
Read MoreThe Bible Impacts Every Believer (James 1:19-21)
JAMES transitions to a new topic, challenging his readers in a whole new way, and tests believers over their response to God’s Word. Today, in doctrinally sound churches, we find the same responses to the preaching and teaching of the Bible. There is the response of HEARING ONLY and the response of HEARING and DOING.
Read MoreGentleness
Gentleness is an inner attitude of the mind and heart that is completely surrendered to God’s will. It accepts every circumstance as God’s good for us and does not argue against or resist anything He brings our way.
Read MoreLiving Confident in God’s Character (part 2) (James 1:16-18)
We continue in James with verses 13-18 Part Two: we focus again on the process of temptation and how God’s character and God’s salvation make all the difference in overcoming the temptation to sin.
Read MoreIt’s Not My Fault, part 1 (James 1:13-18)
James starts a new topic, from trials to temptations, with the focus on YOU and I taking responsibility for our sins. Don’t blame God for the temptations to sin, look in the mirror to see the person to blame—and understand just how the temptation to sin works. When you understand how temptation begins you will be more prone to resist it.
Read MoreThe Great Equalizer (James 1:9-12)
James wraps up his paragraph on trials. There were great tensions between the poor and the rich in the first century so as James wraps up trials, he describes them as the great equalizer as well as the great endurance test for believers.
