Kings and Kingdoms

• 3:41James 1:15

  The New Testament gives us a lot of pictures. Because I believe word pictures help us understand divine truths. Think about the way James pictures sin in our lives. The book of James, chapter 1, verse 15 says, Each person is tempted when he is drawn away and enticed by his evil desire. Then, after a desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin. And when sin is fully grown, it leads to death. Word pictures help divine…

Kings and Kingdoms

• 9:02James 1:5

  James, the brother of Jesus Christ. He tells us, if any of you lacks wisdom. And I would venture to guess everyone in this room lacks a little bit of wisdom. Somewhere. James says, ask God who gives to all generously and ungrudgingly. In James 1.5. And it will be given to him. So James says, God loves you. He cares for you. And if you ask, he will give.

• 21:44James 1

  James chapter 1. He says, listen, rejoice in this. Rejoice in this trial, knowing that God is at work in you, bringing unto you a complete faith. So, y'all, it seems crazy in the day and age that we live in that we can have joy in our hurt, and joy in our suffering, and joy in things not going according to plan, but we can have joy knowing that our God is still in control, and He's still working it for His good.

Who's Your King

• 34:26James 1

  confidence that the Lord is with you just as he promised he would be and you need to open up your eyes today that when God calls us he equips us and he is with us that doesn't always mean that it's going to be easy but did you ever think that might be the point that maybe that's the point remember in James 1 that says consider it a joy a great

  The world standards always say you're not going to measure up, but you matter. Scripture says this. It says in James 1:18, it says, "By his own choice, he gave us birth by the word of truth so that we could be a kind of first fruit, the first agricultural produce of the season." That's not in the Scripture, but that's what first fruits is,…

• 1:48James 1

  …we're going to look today at a specific aspect of our faith. It is claiming versus doing. It's what you say versus what you do. And you say, well, that's a little too personal. It's not my fault. You take it up with James one day in heaven. Because James is writing to the church and he's deeply concerned about what we say versus what we do. Because what we say should be what we do.

• 0:30James 1

  Okay, the book of James, again, James chapter 1, so we're continuing a series that we have called Faith That Works. Because this is what God wants you to know. Truly, faith in Jesus Christ works. It's been tested, it has been tried, and it has been found true. And what we see today is one of James' primary concerns. He wants you to know that if you are in Christ, you should not have a dead faith, but a living faith.

• 4:03James 1:22

  There's so much more that God wants in our life. And so with that interesting introduction, let's read the Bible together. James chapter 1, verse 22. James says very clearly, Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves, playing dead. Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer,

  Music If you have a copy of God's Word with you today, please turn to James chapter 1. So we begin a new sermon series in the book of James today. I'm excited. We love the Word of God and I always get excited when we start new books and really I get, I'm sad when we end books of the Bible because we believe in the power of God's Word

• 5:14James 1:1–4

  And so today, as we read the word, the sermon title, we're going to jump off into it. It's called Let's Get Real. James 1:1-4. So let's read the word of God together. James 1:1 New Testament. I don't have a page number. If anyone has the Pew Bible, can you give me an accurate page number? 1071. Thank you. 1071 if you're following along in your Pew Bible. James 1:1 New Testament.

• 27:53James 1:27

  That's the first time I ever heard anything about Jesus or God or any of that. It was my mom taking me to church on Sunday. There's not one single day that goes by in my life that I don't thank God for what she decided to do for me. Do you guys know what James 1.27 says? Don't worry, no one else does either. James 1.27 is one of those verses we never talk about in church.

• 28:03James 1:27

  James 1.27 is one of those verses we never talk about in church. I don't understand it. Listen to this verse, and you might think the same thing. This should be like John 3.16 or anything else that we can just rattle off. James 1.27 says this. And look it up. Religion that God accepts as pure is to look after orphans. And widows in their distress. And don't be polluted by the world. That's what it says.

Proverbs

• 17:27James 1:12

  And not to me only, but also to those who have loved his appearing. Finally, Paul says, there is laid up for me the crown of righteousness. James continues. James 1.12. Blessed is the man who endures temptation, for when he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those who love him. We should treasure eternal crowns, eternal rewards.

Proverbs

• 8:04James 1:20

  James 1.20 says, for the wrath of man does not produce the righteousness of God. So if I'm angry, I know that that anger does not lead to righteousness. And some of you might be saying, well, Jesus was angry and righteous. Yeah,…

Luke (That you may know)

• 14:06James 1

  And when those evil desires take root, they are birthed and conceived into sin. That's James chapter one. But temptation is not the failure. Temptation is a test. And you say, well, how do you know that? First Corinthians 10 tells us this. No temptation has overcome you except which is common to man. But God is faithful…

• 11:07James 1

  Some of you in this room are making major decisions whether you're going to have surgery or not have surgery. You all have got decisions. Every one of us have decisions to make. Should I let go or should I hold on to it? The stress of indecisions make us crazy. It will get to us. James 1 says, a double-minded man is unstable in all his ways. The Greek word literally says for unstable literally means a staggering like a drunk.

• 20:45James 1:5

  Well, I'm trying to pull it down so I can understand it. We got to first admit that we need a guide. Secondly, we got to ask for directions. Listen to what James chapter 1, verse 5 and 6 says. If you want to know, if you want to know what God really wants you to do, ask him. He will gladly tell you. For he is always ready to give a bountiful supply of wisdom to those who ask him. But be sure that…

• 11:29James 1:18

  James chapter one, verse 18. If I'm here much longer, I'm going to preach through the book of James. It's powerful. It's full of truth. God decided to give us life through the word of truth so that we might be the most important of all things he…
