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.

Some texts are just too obvious. Ten lepers were cleansed. One came back and said thanks. Nine did not. The one was commended. The nine were scolded in absentia. Ah...it’s important to write thank-you notes. My mama, your mama, and Miss Manners would be pleased. End of ...read more

More Of Jesus' Mission Series

Contributed by Ron Tuit on May 19, 2015

The "woman at the well" is a renowned Biblical story even though the woman's name is never mentioned, but that is because she never was the central figure in that story. It is the "Word Incarnate" who is revealed.

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Oct 25, 2020

The following sermon on Colossians 1:15-20 is going to examine Apostle Paul’s response to a heresy that broke out in Colossae concerning Christ’s identity in hope that we might come to associate the name “Jesus’” as the second person of the Godhead.
