Lesson 14: An Illustration Of Response (James 1:22-25) Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 26, 2021

The “perfect law of liberty” is not the Mosaic Law; it is the law of grace. James does not talk about this law in the same sense that Paul does. When Paul talks about the law, he is talking about the Mosaic Law. When James talks about the law, it is the law of Faith.

Lesson 32. In Physical Needs (James 5:14-15) Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Apr 3, 2021

I will attempt to show from 1 Corinthians 12:9[1] and 28[2] and Galatians 3:5[3] that gifts of healings were intended for the church in Paul’s day and our day. However, the New Testament does not talk about THE gift of healing.

Lesson Text – James 5:14-15 (NKJV) 14. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. 15. And the prayer of faith will save the sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he ...read more

Rapid Advance Of The Gospel Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 6, 2024

Thessalonica was a wonderful testimony to a rapid advance approach to ministry. Paul mentions being there three sabbaths (Acts 17:2). There were many who were won to Christ and built up in faith in this short time before the team, Paul, Silas and Timothy moved on.

My wife and I took part in a nine-month ministry training program called Rapid Advance. The name of the training came from this chapter and from a summary of how the Gospel moved in the book of Acts. Paul did not spend his years of ministry planting a single church and trying to perfect it. He ...read more

Lesson 2: "The God Who Establishes Us” Series

Contributed by Joshua Blackmon on Nov 12, 2025

This second sermon explores Paul’s explanation of his integrity, his ministry under accusation, and how God’s faithfulness steadies us when plans change and people misunderstand. It moves from comfort to credibility — from grace received to grace lived out.

Introduction Sometimes the greatest challenge in ministry is not persecution, but misunderstanding. Paul faced criticism from those who thought his change of travel plans meant he was fickle or untrustworthy. Yet, in this passage, Paul reminds us that God is faithful — and it is He who establishes ...read more
