     | 7,764 views

    In James 2:1-13, James tackles the age long problem of prejudice and favoritism. It is often a problem in the world and in the church. The solution to the problem is the Royal Law found in Scripture.

    Finding True Blessedness (Part 1) Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on May 24, 2023
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,035 views

    This message covers the first six verses of The Beatitudes. The word "blessed" in the text refers to more than just peace and happiness. It means "a divine and godlike joy." Jesus was saying, "Joyful are those who possess these inward qualities."

    I have entitled our message this morning, “Finding True Blessedness (Part 1).” The words of Jesus seen in our passage today are called “The Beatitudes,” and this does not mean “beautiful attitudes,” even though this phrase might have catchy ring. “The Beatitudes are blessed sayings.”(1) “The ...read more

Why did God require all of that? What was the purpose?” Confusing as it is, the Old Testament ...read more

    So often we judge Peter harshly for his denials of Christ, but how often do WE find ourselves walking in his shoes! We need to remember that this story does have a great ending!
