    Listen…and…obey! James 1:22-24

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 1, 2021
     | 5,895 views

    This passage says something that seems obvious—don’t just listen the Word; do what it says. We all know we should do that, but how? This passage teaches the keys to getting what you hear into regular practice in your life.

    James 1:22 But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But the one ...read more

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 17, 2021
     | 3,969 views

    The first half of this message is a crash course on how to interpret Scripture. The second half explains how God’s law increases the freedom in your life.

    James 1:22 But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But the one ...read more

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 24, 2021
     | 2,884 views

    One of the main reasons we fail to put God’s Word into practice is forgetting. This message gives practical steps you can take to learn how to meditate deeply on God’s Word so it becomes a part of your life.

    James 1:22 But be doers of the word and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 Because if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man looking at his own face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself, goes away, and immediately forgets what kind of man he was. 25 But the one ...read more

    True Religion James 1:26-27 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Jul 31, 2021
    based on 2 ratings
     | 9,848 views

    James 1:26 speaks of "true religion." We know about caring for orphans and widows, but what about the other part?

    James 1:26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God, the Father, is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the ...read more

    Playing Favorites (James 2:1-4) Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 19, 2021
     | 4,612 views

    Are you more likely to be friendly toward someone at church who is attractive than someone who is repulsive in some way? Do you look with more favor on wealthy people than homeless people? This passage teaches us how to look at people the way God looks at them.

    Command: No Favoritism One of the most unsettling things that can happen when I read the Bible is when I discover that something is especially important to God, and it is not really a big deal in my thinking. For whatever reason, there are certain sins that we are all very aware of, and there are ...read more

    Whose Side Are You On? - James 2:5-7 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 28, 2021
     | 2,828 views

    The key to loving people and treating them the way God wants us to treat them lies in what we value.

    James 2:1 My brothers, as believers in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ, don’t show favoritism. 2 Suppose a man comes into your meeting wearing a gold ring and fine clothes, and a poor man in shabby clothes also comes in. 3 If you show special attention to the man wearing fine clothes and say, ...read more

    The Royal Law - James 2:8-9 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 28, 2021
     | 4,013 views

    We tend to disguise our sinful favoritism under the guise of loving our neighbor. Favoritism seems like love towards those we favor, but James shows that it’s really a violation of the royal law of love.

    James 2:8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. The Importance of the Command Is anybody here interested in seeing the most important ...read more

    Judgment Please, Hold The Mercy - James 2:8-13 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Aug 28, 2021
    based on 1 rating
     | 2,281 views

    Showing mercy means giving people what they need rather than what they deserve. This message will help you enjoy receiving God’s mercy every day and will motivate you to show mercy to others—especially in your thoughts toward people.

    James 2:8 If you really keep the royal law found in Scripture, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing right. 9 But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as lawbreakers. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles at just one point is guilty of breaking all of ...read more

    The Power Activator - James 2:14-19 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 6, 2021
     | 2,689 views

    How can you have assurance of your salvation? And how can a deceived person avoid having false assurance? James makes the answers clear by giving a clear definition of the one aspect of the gospel that is all too often left vague: exactly what you have to do to be saved.

    James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical ...read more

    The Friend Of God - James 2:20-24 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 6, 2021
     | 1,980 views

    We are often told to trust God. But this passage makes trust seem more desirable by casting it in the context of friendship. This message defines friendship and explores what it means to have that with God.

    James 2:14 What good is it, my brothers, if a man claims to have faith but has no deeds? Can such faith save him? 15 Suppose a brother or sister is without clothes and daily food. 16 If one of you says to him, “Go, I wish you well; keep warm and well fed,” but does nothing about his physical ...read more

    The Friend Of God’s People - James 2:25-26 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 6, 2021
     | 1,160 views

    This sermon shows how differently God sees people than we do. By our standards, Abraham and Rahab couldn’t be more different. For God, they are the same.

    James 2:20 You foolish man, do you want evidence that faith without deeds is useless? 21 Was not our ancestor Abraham considered righteous for what he did when he offered his son Isaac on the altar? 22 You see that his faith and his actions were working together, and his faith was made complete by ...read more

    The World’s Most Dangerous Profession - James 3:1-2 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2021
     | 2,265 views

    This passage stands out because teaching is so highly valued throughout the New Testament. Why is it discouraged here? James considered himself a teacher and was teaching even as he penned these words about not many should be teachers.

    James 3:1 Not many of you should presume to be teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. Introduction: We Talk a ...read more

    Fire Danger: High - James 3:2-10 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2021
     | 2,635 views

    We rarely have adequate conscious awareness of how dangerous our speech really is and the degree of damage that can be done by the forest fires our tongues can start. This message may be a hard one to listen to, but it is full of many crucial warnings. I urge you to give it a listen.

    James 3:2 We all stumble in many ways. If anyone is never at fault in what he says, he is a perfect man, able to keep his whole body in check. 3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal. 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large ...read more

    God’s Iq Test (The Talking Dumb) - James 3:9-16 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2021
     | 1,540 views

    This sermon shows how that kind of pride can be detected in your speech (the "sun complex"), and what the remedy is.

    James 3:9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse men, who have been made in God’s likeness. 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers, can a fig ...read more

    Portrait Of A Peacemaker - James 3:17-18 Series

    Contributed by Darrell Ferguson on Sep 23, 2021
     | 2,829 views

    This message shows how several of the elements of human wisdom have been dressed up and have found their way into the church. We must beware of those. The message also gives insights into how to convert incidents of conflict into peace in the church and restore broken relationships.

    James 3:17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven is first of all pure; then peace-loving, considerate, submissive, full of mercy and good fruit, impartial and sincere. 18 Peacemakers who sow in peace raise a harvest of righteousness. Introduction God will call us His children, if and only if… How ...read more
