    Fruit Of Our Lives

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Apr 4, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 5,360 views

    The Jews consecrated their first-fruits to God as His in a special sense. All Christians are meant to be the first-fruits, the promise and earnest of better work (Romans 8:23). What are the fruits being manifested from your lives?

    Wisdom From God - James 1:5-7 Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 21, 2015
     | 8,941 views

    Wisdom! The Lord has it and He wants you to get it from Him! We need to pursue the Lord and His wisdom with a single minded focus in order to glorify God by being "a servant of God and the Lord Jesus Christ".

    Wisdom! Is there anyone here who is wise and has all of the wisdom they will ever need? And, you all have probably heard the old quote attributed to Yogi Berra about the fork in the road, “When you come to a fork in the road, take it!” Life is filled with forks in the road, choices, ...read more

    The Crown Of Life ... For The Humble Or The Rich? Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Jul 29, 2015
     | 6,114 views

    Those in humble circumstances and those who are rich undergo testing. This is a continuation of the opening themes of testing, endurance and victory in the first chapter of James.

    Today as we continue in the first chapter of the book of James we will be looking specifically at verses 9 through 12 but before we get into those verses let's read starting at verse one to refresh our minds with what the Lord is saying through James. James 1:1-12 “James, a servant of God ...read more

    Temptation Vs. Testing And Trials - What's The Difference? Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 5, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 18,082 views

    Earlier in the first chapter of James much has been said about testing and trials but now James turns his attention to temptation. How are they alike and how are they different, especially since the Greek word is the same for both? Let's take a look!

    James 1:1-15 “James, a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, to the twelve tribes scattered among the nations: “Consider it pure joy, my brothers, whenever you face trials of many kinds, because you know that the testing of your faith produces perseverance. ...read more

    Good And Perfect Gifts - James 1:16-18 Series

    Contributed by Stephen Belokur on Aug 12, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,849 views

    These verses follow teaching on testing and trials. Is it possible that testing and trials could be considered good and perfect gifts from the Father of the heavenly lights? It all depends if you're walking with Him or away from Him.

    (Pastor Steve starts the first section - co-preaching with Pastor Karenlee) The Scripture that we’ll be taking a look at today is … James 1:15-18 “Don’t be deceived, my dear brothers. Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the ...read more

    James 1:17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

    The Goodness Of God

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Aug 29, 2015
     | 10,190 views

    God is available at all times to hear our prayers, to listen to our concerns and to be touched by the nonverbal communication of our feelings. In return, we must be increasingly acquainted with the voice of God. We must follow God each and every day.

    In the passage from James 1:17-27, James talks about the goodness of God. God doesn’t tempt us to do evil things, but he often uses life’s challenges to strengthen and perfect us. In the process we become more like God. Instead of tempting us to do evil things, God gives us good gifts. ...read more

    The text describes to us, not to forget what manner of person we see in the mirror.

    James 1:17-27 What do I look like? One of the cool things about going to an amusement park or carnival is a visit to the "house of mirrors" or "hall of mirrors." When visitors look at themselves in these mirrors, their images are distorted! Perhaps they're very tall ...read more

    How do we deal with temptations which always creep into our lives?

    We continue our study of the Letter by James in the New Testament. Last week we noted that no matter who that James was, God spoke though him. All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness… 2 Timothy 3:16! We worship with God’s Word and ...read more

    I wrote this last summer as an intern at a church that was going through some tough times and significant loss.

    Kids have a lot of questions. The “why” questions I've found is most popular. Back in Boise I work for the YMCA as an after school child care worker. Needless to say, when it's you and 2 other adults with 35+ kids a lot of “why” questions come up. “Why can't we do ...read more
