  • True Religion James 1:26-27 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 31, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,853 views

    James 1:26 speaks of "true religion." We know about caring for orphans and widows, but what about the other part?

    James 1:26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the ...read more

  • Playing Favorites (James 2:1-4) Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 19, 2021
     | 4,624 views

    Are you more likely to be friendly toward someone at church who is attractive than someone who is repulsive in some way? Do you look with more favor on wealthy people than homeless people? This passage teaches us how to look at people the way God looks at them.

    Command: No Favoritism One of the most unsettling things that can happen when I read the Bible is when I discover that something is especially important to God, and it is not really a big deal in my thinking. For whatever reason, there are certain sins that we are all very aware of, and there are ...read more

     | 2,792 views

    Expository Sermon on James 1:12

    The Promise: Life for Love We have been studying through the book of James and we come today to 1:12. This is one of those verses that is so rich and jammed full of truth that we won’t make it any further today than this one verse. So, whatever kind of Bible you have, take a look at the last ...read more

  • Conception By Deception - James 1:13-15 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Apr 22, 2021
     | 1,715 views

    Why do some temptations strike a chord in our desires while others don’t?

    James 1:13 When tempted, no one should say, “God is tempting me.” For God cannot be tempted by evil, nor does he tempt anyone; 14 but each one is tempted when, by his own desire, he is dragged away and enticed. 15 Then, after desire has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it is ...read more

  • The Joy Of Gospel Partnership - Philippians 1:1-5 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 16, 2021
     | 3,297 views

    The solution to disunity caused by suffering is joy from gospel partnership

    Philippians 1:1 Paul and Timothy, servants of Christ Jesus, To all the saints in Christ Jesus at Philippi, together with the overseers and deacons: 2 Grace and peace to you from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, ...read more

  • We Are Doing A Great Work! - Philippians 1:4-8 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Dec 16, 2021
     | 2,228 views

    The Philippians’ gospel partnership/fellowship (koinonia) with Paul was like the Fellowship of the Ring (band of unlikely comrades who would lay down their lives for one another and the cause of the Fellowship).

    Philippians 1:3 I thank my God every time I remember you. 4 In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy 5 because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, 6 being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day ...read more

  • Whose Side Are You On? - James 2:5-7 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 28, 2021
     | 2,835 views

    The key to loving people and treating them the way God wants us to treat them lies in what we value.

    James 2:1 My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don’t show favoritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. 3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, ...read more

  • The Royal Law - James 2:8-9 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 28, 2021
     | 4,020 views

    We tend to disguise our sinful favoritism under the guise of loving our neighbor. Favoritism seems like love towards those we favor, but James shows that it’s really a violation of the royal law of love.

    James 2:8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. The Importance of the Command Is anybody here interested in seeing the most important ...read more

  • Judgment Please, Hold The Mercy - James 2:8-13 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 28, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,285 views

    Showing mercy means giving people what they need rather than what they deserve. This message will help you enjoy receiving God’s mercy every day and will motivate you to show mercy to others—especially in your thoughts toward people.

    James 2:8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of ...read more

  • The Power Activator - James 2:14-19 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 6, 2021
     | 2,695 views

    How can you have assurance of your salvation? And how can a deceived person avoid having false assurance? James makes the answers clear by giving a clear definition of the one aspect of the gospel that is all too often left vague: exactly what you have to do to be saved.

    James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical ...read more

  • The Friend Of God’s People - James 2:25-26 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 6, 2021
     | 1,166 views

    This sermon shows how differently God sees people than we do. By our standards, Abraham and Rahab couldn’t be more different. For God, they are the same.

    James 2:20 You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? 21 Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by ...read more

  • The World’s Most Dangerous Profession - James 3:1-2 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2021
     | 2,275 views

    This passage stands out because teaching is so highly valued throughout the New Testament. Why is it discouraged here? James considered himself a teacher and was teaching even as he penned these words about not many should be teachers.

    James 3:1 Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. Introduction: We Talk a ...read more

  • Fire Danger: High - James 3:2-10 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2021
     | 2,639 views

    We rarely have adequate conscious awareness of how dangerous our speech really is and the degree of damage that can be done by the forest fires our tongues can start. This message may be a hard one to listen to, but it is full of many crucial warnings. I urge you to give it a listen.

    James 3:2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. 3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large ...read more

  • God’s Iq Test (The Talking Dumb) - James 3:9-16 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2021
     | 1,545 views

    This sermon shows how that kind of pride can be detected in your speech (the "sun complex"), and what the remedy is.

    James 3:9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers, can a fig ...read more

  • Portrait Of A Peacemaker - James 3:17-18 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2021
     | 2,836 views

    This message shows how several of the elements of human wisdom have been dressed up and have found their way into the church. We must beware of those. The message also gives insights into how to convert incidents of conflict into peace in the church and restore broken relationships.

    James 3:17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. Introduction God will call us His children, if and only if… How ...read more
