    James teaches that biblical faith is not expressed in words only or just in one’s mind, but that it must be expressed in the actual doing and obeying what God and Christ command us to do.

    INTRODUCTION 1. Open your bibles to James 2:18-26. 2. In our last lesson we discussed two different kinds of faith, from James 2:14-17. We discussed a faith that is not profitable and a faith that is dead. As a contrast to those two faiths, we also discussed a “living faith”. 3. In the ...read more

     | 12,071 views

    The Bible gives us understanding of human life and relationships, it equips us for effectiveness, and it is the standard by which a church becomes great.

    Why do we prefer to stumble along and do a job halfway, when, with just a little effort, we could do it well? Why is it that we will take a stab at something we don’t know how to do, .we will fool with it, we will mess with it, but, if it takes some study to learn to do it right, we’re not ...read more

    Attitude in giving is more important to God than the amount. What should my attitude be when giving to God’s work?

    TALK ABOUT MONEY AND YOU CANT WIN Run after money and you are materialistic. Don’t get it and you are looked on as a loser. Get it and keep it and you are a miser.

    Story form sermon about a man who put all the symbols of recognition on display, but no one noticed. Finally someone asked who helped him attain all this. The world does not need to see display cabinets; it needs to see the God who empowers us.

Whether it is about our work, our home, our civic life, our possessions, or our spirituality, we send out strong signals about what is in our very core. Those around us will receive those signals, make no mistake; ...read more

    God is your great and faithful provider whether you are someone important or even a nondescript widow.

    One of the great themes found over & over in the Bible is that regardless of the times in which people lived & the problems they faced there was no problem or need which God could not meet if they simply trusted & obeyed Him. I call to your attention the key verse from last week’s story in which ...read more

    The nest is comfortable. It is safe, warm, secure and only for a season. You can’t stay in the nest forever. If you stay there too long, then it is no longer an incubator, but a coffin!

     | 7,005 views

    Done in "Jeff Foxworthy" style: If your religion is all in the head, if you think your good deeds mask your sin, you may be a lost person.

    Jesus said some very tough things. He could be very demanding, very harsh. Jesus could also be funny. He didn’t draw back from using humor if it would make his point. He was tough! He was blunt! He minced no words! And so if your image of Jesus is Warner Sallman’s “Head of Christ”, bland and ...read more
