     | 3,183 views

    Simon Peter shares with his house churches how they can not only endure tests and trials but that in God's hands those tests and trials can lead to a more victorious life.

    We need to test what we are taught and what we hear, based upon God’s revealed objective truth.

    This Is A Test (I John 4:1-6) 1. A teacher sent home a letter to all the parents after the first day of the new school year. It read, “If you promise not to believe all that your child says goes on at school, I will promise not to believe all that your child says goes on at home.” 2. When it ...read more

    It"S Enough

    This sermon reflects the wilderness and how the tempter uses doubt to test the marque, a model brand of the faith of Jesus Christ in and against the shortcomings of the simple ones holding on by the faith of a mustard seed.

    Matthew 4: 1-10 Following the Lord through wilderness is where holiness is obtained; on green grass with jaborandi, it’s like dew following an early morning; in my ears, the lullabies are singed. I had to resist the easy way out of compromising to fall to sleep. My heart for the word of ...read more

    We don’t work for our faith—true Christians work as a result of our faith. The right kind of works are always a sure test to prove the genuineness of faith. James continues with the third test of faith—the works test.

    1. Works that show compassion for God’s creation (14-17) 2. Works that show trust in God’s Word (18-19) 3. Works that show hope in God’s promises (20-24) 4. Works that show service to God’s people (25-26) JAMES 2:26 Men, I want you to try this when you get home. Go into your wife’s favorite ...read more

    A paradigm for its own struggle in an alien environment.

    THE DEVIL IN THE DESERT “You shall not put the Lord your God to the test,” Jesus replied to Satan from Deuteronomy 6:16: but the rest of the verse says, “as you tested [God] at Massah.” Massah means testing and Meribah means contention. Psalm 95:8 says, “Do not harden your hearts as you did ...read more

     | 18,993 views

    God demands that His children be people of integrity. People who are honest and reliable. This is the next-to-last test of faith that James gives us--the integrity test.

    1. The importance of individual integrity 2. The implication of individual integrity 3. The intentionality of individual integrity 4. The incentive of individual integrity This Wednesday night, American TV is hitting a new low. It’s almost hard to say that with all the trash that’s on TV these ...read more

     | 29,513 views

    The first test of faith we must pass is the Bible test. In order for our faith to be real, we must receive God’s holy, inspired, infallible Word the right way and respond to it the right way.

    1. How should you receive the Word of God? With meekness (19-21) a. Receive with meekness by listening b. Receive with meekness by humbling ourselves c. Receive with meekness by implanting 2. How should you respond to the Word of God? With action (22-27) a. Respond with action by ...read more

    based on 64 ratings
     | 27,447 views

    When we glory in the status of people, we forget how far we all fall short of the glory of God. The only thing we can glory in is the imputed righteousness of Christ. We forget that when we don’t treat people right.

    1. Introduction (2:1) 2. Treat people in light of man’s motives (2:2-4) 3. Treat people in light of God’s purposes (2:5-7) 4. Treat people in light of Jesus’ commandments (2:8-11) 5.

    based on 64 ratings
     | 55,064 views

    Jesus said what is in a person’s heart inevitably comes out of his mouth. As water flows from a well, words from your mouth reveal the source’s purity. Knowing that, it makes sense that James would make the tongue test a test of true faith.

    1. The first characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is condemning. (1-2) 2. The second characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is controlling (3-5a) 3. The third characteristic of a test-failing tongue is that it is consuming (5b-6) 4. The fourth characteristic of a ...read more

    The coming of the Lord. What a great and wonderful day it will be when our Lord Jesus returns. Until He returns, we are called to be patient. In this passage, James gives us the seventh test of our faith--the patience test.

    1. Patience has natural evidences 2. Patience has eternal consequences 3. Patience has a cloud of witnesses The coming of the Lord.
