    Our Troublesome Tongues

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 26, 2024
     | 1,166 views

    As James challenges his readers to have a true religion, he comes to a part of our faith-life that is nearly impossible to control - our tongues.

    Before we dive into the main content of the message today, I want to point out something rather obvious - there are no notes in your bulletins. There is a sense in which this sermon is set up fairly similarly to others - a couple of main points with smaller points, but there is also a sense in ...read more

     | 775 views

    How deep is the sinful condition of humanity? What is the remedy? Jesus gives us a lovingly deep answer.

    9.1.24 Mark 7:15, 21-23 15 There is nothing outside of a man that can make him unclean by going into him. But the things that come out of a man are what make a man unclean. . . . 21 In fact, from within, out of people’s hearts, come evil thoughts, sexual sins, theft, murder, 22 adultery, ...read more

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 3, 2024
     | 2,198 views

    James focuses on the leaders of the church as he calls into question the source of wisdom - essentially noting that wisdom from God is drastically different than wisdom of the world.

    There are decisions that all of us make on a daily basis. Some of those are minor and relatively inconsequential, others are major and potentially life altering. Some impact only us (or so we think), where others reap ramifications on our families, church, workplaces, school, community, and more. ...read more

    This Is War Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 9, 2024
     | 734 views

    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

    Hubris Or Humility Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 16, 2024
     | 491 views

    There are so many factors that come into play when we make plans, but how often does the Sovereign will of God affect our plan making? In this passage, James challenges us to avoid hubris and embrace humility by submitting to God’s sovereignty in making plans.

    Mistakes along the way? In February of 1995, nearly 30 years ago, the Holy Spirit spoke to me in a clear way that has impacted the course of my life - and yet it has not been without mistakes and missteps. He urged me to go to the church the Danielle grew up at and help out with the youth ...read more

    Jesus could return at any time, therefore we should be just in our dealings and patiently endure injustice.

    On the night before Jesus was crucified, He told his disciples John 14:3 ESV And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. Jesus went to the cross, leaving them hope beyond the cross, hinting at the resurrection and eternal ...read more

    A Covenant Community Communicates Clearly Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Sep 30, 2024
     | 432 views

    As James closes his letter to exiles, he concludes with instructions on three different topics - communication (oaths), prayer, and care. This sermon looks at the first of those in the context of a covenant community.

    In the run up to the 1988 Presidential Election, Vice President George H.W. Bush famously said “Read my lips: no new taxes.” He was running on a platform of consistency. He sought to take the policies and success of the Reagan years into a new term. He, in essence, swore an oath, made a promise ...read more

    One of James' final instructions to the exiled believers is on the topic of prayer.

    Introduction In his profound book on the importance of prayer in the life of a congregation, John Onwuchekwa shares this quote - which is attributed to several different people including Martin Luther: To be a Christian without prayer is no more possible than to be alive without breathing.

    Jesus is the Good Shepherd to speaks lovingly to his sheep, holding them in His hands.

    As Jesus crosses Galilee, facing a storm and interacting with a demon-possessed man, some people respond to Jesus in fear and others in faith.

    From 2001-2006, the reality-TV game show Fear Factor brought contestants and viewers alike face to face with fears that they did not know they had. From death-defying stunts, to eating gross concoctions and so much more, contestants faced their fears in order to win challenges in the hopes of ...read more

    Twelve Years Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on May 27, 2025
     | 119 views

    A lot can happen in twelve years. In Luke 8:40-56 we learn of two different groups of people who had completely different experiences and yet encountered Jesus in profound ways.

They had two sons who were born free. Solomon took after his father in learning how to work the land, but ...read more
