Week 5: What We Desire

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 9, 2025 32:32


Our God-given desires—whether for food, pleasure, success, or love—can either serve us or enslave us. Like Esau, we risk sacrificing what matters most for momentary satisfaction if we let our desires take control. True contentment comes when we reframe our desires in light of eternity and pursue what matters most. 

Week 4: What We Have

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 2, 2025 33:41


Contentment isn't found in what we have but in how we steward what God has entrusted to us. In 1 Timothy 6, Paul challenges both those who lack and those who have, calling us to pursue godliness over greed and generosity over self-sufficiency. Contentment comes not from possessions but from a right perspective, right pursuits, and right priorities.

Week 3: Who We Are

Are you content with who you are? Are you content with your physical body? Though our bodies are broken by sin, they remain a significant part of who we are, designed by God and redeemed through Christ. It is possible to learn to be content with our bodies even though we “groan inwardly” while we “wait eagerly” for the redemption of our bodies.

As we begin 2025, we are reminded of what unites us—not preference, tradition, or opinion— but what we believe about God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.

Advent is a coming or arrival, a season marked by hope, reflection, and preparation. We're invited to enter into God's eternal story, joining with God's people, past and present, waiting together. Waiting in a world of darkness, yet holding to the promise of Jesus, the Light, who shines in the darkness and cannot be overcome. In the waiting, we watch.
In the waiting, we prepare.
In the waiting, we rejoice.
And in the waiting, we behold.

As we light the third candle of Advent, we reflect on the theme of rejoice. The promise of the Advent—Messiah—is seen throughout the Scriptures, and the people of God have been waiting and preparing for Him. Now, the fulfillment has arrived in Jesus. As Mary, the angels, and the shepherds show us, the miraculous coming of Jesus should restore our wonder and lead us to rejoice together, even in a weary world.

If we do, James promises we will be blessed in our doing.

In the first two chapters, James calls us to live fully integrated lives where our beliefs and actions align.

In this text, James shows us the relationship between faith and works, reminding us that that true saving faith will, by nature, produce good works.

Week 4: Partiality

In chapter 1, we explored how a steady faith helps us navigate trials and temptations while fostering an attentive heart—quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

Week 3: Deception

A steady faith is quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger—not only in our interactions with others, but also in our approach to God and His Word. As we receive His Word with an attentive heart, we are not hearers who forget, but doers who act. This is then demonstrated in our controlled speech, active mercy, and pure living. 

Week 2: Temptations

Last week, James challenged us to keep a steady faith, especially in the face of the many trials that come our way. This week, he goes one step further, helping us recognize that temptation is a unique kind of trial—one that doesn't come from God, but comes from within ourselves.
