    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 26, 2024
     | 1,496 views

    As James challenges his readers to have a true religion, he comes to a part of our faith-life that is nearly impossible to control - our tongues.

    Before we dive into the main content of the message today, I want to point out something rather obvious - there are no notes in your bulletins. There is a sense in which this sermon is set up fairly similarly to others - a couple of main points with smaller points, but there is also a sense in ...read more

    Looking for solitude was a significant need for Jesus. We need to foster the control of investing energy alone with God. Spending time alone with God is necessary.

    Looking for solitude was a significant need for Jesus (Matthew 14:13). He made room in his bustling timetable to be separated from everyone else and be with the Father. Investing energy with God in petition and prayer supports an imperative relationship and prepares us to address life's ...read more

    The main idea is to find time to rest, spend time with God, and give God control of our schedules to bring order to our chaotic lives.

    Remember how God created the world in six days and then chilled on the seventh? He wasn't wiped out, but He wanted to show us that taking a break is important. So, we gotta find time to chill too. It's not just about catching some Z's, but also about taking a day to do something cool or just relax. ...read more
