Changing the PatternOur series on the book of James comes to a close with this lesson. If we are going to live the kind of life James describes in his book, we have to change our patterns of thinking and behavior. We must learn to view God and His church as our first source of help instead of as a last resort. And in all things, we should pray with the knowledge that God is able.

- Feb 7, 2016Treasures
TreasuresWhere do we put our trust? Money? Power? Government? James reminds us in the beginning of his fifth chapter that our trust should be in God above all else.
- Jan 31, 2016Higher Perspective
Higher PerspectiveAs we struggle with sin, there is a temptation to downplay our own sin and magnify the sins of others. Instead, God wants us to be realistic about our own sin problem and work daily to overcome it.
- Jan 19, 2016Choose Wisely
Choose WiselyGod desires a relationship with us. In return, He wants us to make a choice about who we will follow. Are we all in?
- Jan 12, 2016Who Is Wise?
Who Is Wise?Many of us know a lot of facts, but the truly wise are able to put that knowledge into practice. The Christian life should be one where the knowledge of scripture influences our daily walk.
- Jan 3, 2016Sticks and Stones
Sticks and StonesSticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me. Most of us heard that phrase in childhood. We have enough life experience to know that words can hurt, whether intentional or unintentional. James encourages us to think more about our words and the effect they can have on others.
- Dec 27, 2015Faith Works
Faith WorksIf we believe something, it should change our behavior. In James 2, we are reminded that faith and works are both important parts of the Christian walk.
- Dec 13, 2015Who’s Your Favorite
Who’s Your FavoritePeople tend to make judgments about the worth of others based on appearance, social status, wealth, ethnicity and other outward differences. James cautions against that kind of favoritism and encourages us to value others the way God does.
- Dec 6, 2015Listen and Do
Listen and DoJames 1:19 says that, "Everyone should be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to become angry." This week we talk about getting a better handle on our anger and doing what the word says.
- Nov 22, 2015Don’t Be Deceived
Don’t Be DeceivedAs we continue our series on James, it is clear that the values of our culture and the values of Christians are very different. This week we look at how God defines high and low positions and how our desires lead toward good or bad actions.
- Nov 8, 2015Perseverance
PerseveranceThis week we begin a new series on the book of James. Trials come our way frequently. Have you ever taken the time to consider that our attitudes about those trials are under our control? In James 1, we learn that God can use those trials to develop our perseverance.
