  • Test 4: The Tongue Test Series

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Oct 23, 2007
    based on 64 ratings
     | 55,106 views

    Jesus said what is in a person’s heart inevitably comes out of his mouth. As water flows from a well, words from your mouth reveal the source’s purity. Knowing that, it makes sense that James would make the tongue test a test of true faith.

    1. The first characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is condemning. (1-2) 2. The second characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is controlling (3-5a) 3. The third characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is consuming (5b-6) 4. The fourth characteristic of a ...read more

The third prideful trap that will keep you from finishing well is your position (17-20) 4. Conclusion: ...read more

    based on 67 ratings
     | 13,901 views

    There are two types of wisdom—man’s wisdom and the kind of wisdom that only comes from God. The kind of true wisdom that only comes from God is evidence of real faith.

    based on 69 ratings
     | 19,716 views

    Do we have to be obedient to God for His will to be accomplished? Far from it. God doesn’t depend on us for anything. Even though we can never expedite or stifle God’s plans, our level of obedience will determine our reward.

    1. God uses kings to keep His Word (1-4) 2. God uses His people to keep His Word (5) 3. God uses other people to keep His Word (6) EZRA 1:1a There are so many questions in life, aren’t there? For at least 3000 years, philosophers have worked on trying to answer only two questions—what is real ...read more

    based on 69 ratings
     | 23,244 views

    What kind of wisdom passes the test of faith? The kind of wisdom that James describes as only coming from above.

    1. Roots of test-passing wisdom (17a) 2. Attributes of test-passing wisdom (17b) 3. Fruits of test-passing wisdom (18) JAMES 3:13 Who is a wise man? What is wisdom? It’s interesting that two people who are known for their wisdom asked that very same question. Solomon did. In Ecclesiastes 8:1 ...read more

    based on 59 ratings
     | 21,057 views

    God created material things for us to use to glorify Him. The problem is, we have placed His stuff in the wrong account. We have taken God’s stuff out of His glory account and transferred it to our materialism account. And when it’s in our account, it’

    1. The first account transfer is from one house to another. 2. The second account transfer is from one hand to another. 3. The third account transfer is from one land to another.

    1. The first preparation for peace is looking to the right source (6-7) 2. The second preparation for peace is living with the right mind (8) 3. The third preparation for peace is learning from the right man (9) PHILIPPIANS 4:6-9 Have you ever just had one of those days? Maybe you can relate to ...read more

    Contributed by Jim Drake on Nov 17, 2007
    based on 66 ratings
     | 24,111 views

    God is all powerful but He chooses to accomplish His work through people. While God’s desire is for all to respond to Him, the fact is that only a remnant will. But in that remnant, God provides the kinds of people it takes to accomplish His work.

    1. The leaders (2:2a) 2. The laymen (2:2b-35) 3. The Lord’s ministers (2:36-58) 4. The leftovers (2:59-67) EZRA 2:1 It’s difficult to find anything more difficult to read through than a list of names. But that’s where we find ourselves in our text tonight.
