    Our words have the power to bring life or death. We must be mindful of how we use them, ensuring they reflect our faith and the love of Christ.

Our words can make a huge difference, and if we can get a handle on what we say, we can control our whole selves. Imagine this: You're playing a video game, and you're ...read more

    This Is War Series

    As we continue to pursue the "true religion" that James encourages us to embody, we come face to face with a war that we face. Sure, there are battles with culture, but this war is within.

    One of my favorite bands is the group “Switchfoot.” While I like their sound (it is unique and often very easily identifiable), what I like most is their lyrics. Switchfoot is a band that is made up of Christians. Their lyrics and songs have made their way onto both Christian and secular charts ...read more

    "But He giveth more grace" (James 4:6).

    THE GRACE OF SUBMISSION. James 4:1-10. James has been contrasting the ‘earthly, sensual, devilish’ wisdom that engenders ‘envying and strife’ (cf. James 3:14-16) with the ‘peaceable’ wisdom of God (cf. James 3:17-18). JAMES 4:1. With a startling suddenness, James asks, “From whence come wars ...read more

    Today I will be preaching about Submission. This is a sermon dealing with Christian growth. The word “submit” in the Bible means “to submit to one’s control”, “to obey.”

    There were three guys talking about the amount of control they have over their wives, while the third remained quiet. • After a while one of the first two turns to the third and says, "Well, what about you, what sort of control do you have over your wife?" • The third fellow says ...read more
