    Sermon uses the layout of the Tabernacle to draw instruction on how to draw near to God.

    How to Draw Near to God (II) James 4:8 4-19-09 Intro A couple of weeks ago we talked about drawing near to God.

     | 10,337 views

    Most Christians understand “grace” as it applies to salvation that is that Jesus did something for them that they could never do for themselves. We tend to get a little fuzzy when it comes to grace as it applies in the Christian life.

    Living in Uncommon Grace James 4:4-10 Intro Most Christians understand “grace” as it applies to salvation that is that Jesus did something for them that they could never do for themselves. By his death on the cross in our place, He paid our sin debt. He gives us a new standing before God the ...read more

    The Heart Of The Matter

     | 2,016 views

    Disagreements are normally centered around power and control. Getting our own way with little regard to what is actually best for a majority or a right thing to do.

    The Heart of the matter James 4:1-10 For the past couple of months we have had a sort of strange schedule. We have been in and out of the book of James. While we have been moving through James it is still a topical kind of study. There is an over all flow that I call teaching on “faith that ...read more

    JAMES 4:5-10 STEPS TO A SUCCESSFUL CHRISTIAN LIFE “Do you suppose it is to no purpose that the Scripture says, ‘He yearns jealously over the Spirit that he has made to dwell in us?’ But He gives more grace. Therefore it says, ‘God opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble.’ Submit ...read more

    James tells us how to turn hatred into humility, judgment into justice and boasting into belief.

    There is a stark contrast in tone from chapter 3 to chapter 4 Chapter 3 (taming the tongue) closes with words like peace, gentleness, mercy, good fruits…it kind of ends on a good tone…but CH 4 contains words like fights, quarrels, lust, hate, envy, pride and sin. In CH 4 James gives clear advice on ...read more
