    Our enemy is prone to slander and false accusations but Christ is in us and he is greater than our enemy. We must resist the enemy in the strength of God, not on our own strength. If we truly know Him and fight in His power, the devil will flee from us.

    Pride and Humility (James 4:6,7)

    Play Episode Listen Later May 18, 2025 32:57

    Choose Your Friends Wisely (James 4:4,5)

    Play Episode Listen Later May 11, 2025 31:55


    We make decisions daily and hourly such as whom we befriend and to which influences we conform. As believers, we are called to be in this world but not to be a friend of the world's system. Choosing the world makes us enemies of God. God longs for us.

    Who Want's to Fight? (James 4:1-3)

    Play Episode Listen Later May 4, 2025 35:18


    Instead of loving and praying for those with whom we disagree, we are often tempted to draw up battle plans. Selfishness, envy, and strife lead to quarreling. We also fight when we don't get what we want, but many things we want are not God's desire.

    Peacemakers (James 3:17, 18)

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 27, 2025 27:15


    Don't be afraid to be a peace maker. In any conflict, be humble--it is probably at least partially your fault. To achieve peace, you must seek purity and work hard to pursue harmony with others.

    The Last Word... Life!

    Two Kinds of Wisdom (James 3:13-18)

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 13, 2025 41:11


    Wisdom from above starts with the fear of the Lord. This kind of wisdom is not natural; if we lack it, we need to pray to receive it. This requires a humble spirit. God's wisdom is pure, peaceful, reasonable, merciful, and sincere.

    Wisdom from Below (James 3:13-16)

    Play Episode Listen Later Apr 6, 2025 43:19


    Do jealousies find fertile ground in your heart? No Christian should envy even the most successful unbeliever. Actively thank God for the blessings He has provided and repent of covetousness. Satan tempts us with these things but they lead to disorder.

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 30, 2025 38:07


    Norm brings a collection of wise sayings from contemporary Christians to help us with our daily walk. For example, "Progress beats perfection" and "A day without prayer is like telling God we don't need him that day." This message will give you insight.

    Where Did That Come From? (James 3:7-12)

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 23, 2025 32:23


    The tongue does not act on its own. If we have a problem speaking wrongly, we need to pray for wisdom on how to correct it. No man can tame his own tongue. We need to be yielded to the Holy Spirit so that something good can come from the words speak.

    No Big Deal? (James 3:2-6)

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 16, 2025 34:14


    What comes out of the mouth is important. Our hurtful words can be like a fire, causing pain to those we offended. An encouraging word can change the outlook of someone who is having a bad day. Most of all, our tongues should be used to confess Jesus.

    Teachers (James 3:1)

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 9, 2025 35:42


    When we speak concerning the word of God, we must do it carefully. Teachers of the word will be held to a higher account than others. Before teaching, we need to take it in ourselves and let it transform us. All believers share this responsibility.

    James 2:20-26

    Play Episode Listen Later Mar 2, 2025 31:25


    Abraham repeatedly demonstrated his faith in deeds. Rahab is another example of showing faith through action but from a very different person. No matter who we are or what our background, God demonstrates that he is with us when we exercise our faith.

    Understanding Satan's Plan (Luke 4:1-13)

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 23, 2025 41:09


    Satan wants to distract you from worshiping God. He wants to deceive you into thinking that God does not accept you. He has studied you and knows your weaknesses and wants to destroy you. The good news is that Satan is defeated because Christ rose.

    Show Me Your Faith (James 2:18-20)

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 16, 2025 22:32


    Others can only see your faith by your works and by your fruit. You can know who Jesus is in fact but not know him in spirit. It is a living faith that saves us, not saying a prayer. Let there be enough evidence of your faith to convict you in court.

    What Good Is It? (James 2:14-17)

    Play Episode Listen Later Feb 2, 2025 34:27


    We are saved by grace through faith but belief alone is not faith. True faith is accompanied by action. If our actions are not right, then maybe our faith is not real. It is not our words, but a life truly surrendered to God that that shows living faith.

    The Royal Law (James 2:8-13)

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 26, 2025 37:54


    Even when we are self-critical we are focusing on ourselves, and this is a form of love. We are called to have that level of awareness, concern, and love for our neighbor. This fundamental commandment includes everyone, not just those we admire.

    Favoritism (James 2:1-7)

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 19, 2025 28:00

    True Religion (James 1:27)

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 12, 2025 35:45


    God cares for the poor, the orphans, and the widows. We are to look after them too, and this means more than just giving money. We are to offer our time including to our own families. In order to care for others, we need to not be polluted by the world.

    Religion Vs. Relationship (James 1:26,27)

    Play Episode Listen Later Jan 5, 2025 29:21


    We are saved first and then called to good works. This is the nature of our relationship with God rather than a religion of works. Relationships require listening not just talking. What we say is a reflection of the quality of our relationship with Jesus.

    Looking Back, Looking Forward (Philippians 3)

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 29, 2024 33:05


    If we look back it should be to question our standing in Christ and see what he has done in our lives. God does not want us to live in the past, he wants us to look forward. We need to seek his will for what we should do with our lives. This is a process.

    Jesus (John 1)

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 22, 2024 29:39

    Be Doers of the Word (James 1:22-25)

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 15, 2024 39:24

    Get Rid Of... Humbly Accept (James 1:21)

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 8, 2024 32:27

    Slow to Anger (James 1:20)

    Play Episode Listen Later Dec 1, 2024 34:39


    There are time for righteous anger, but those are usually best left for God. Anger is not good for our health and life is too short to spend it in vexation. Instead we should pray for those who irritate us. This gives room for God to do a work in us.

    Slow to speak (James 1:19b)

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 24, 2024 30:17

    Quick to Listen (James 1:19a)

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 17, 2024 36:42

    The New Birth (James 1:18)

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 10, 2024 31:41

    Every Good and Perfect Gift (James 1:16, 17)

    Play Episode Listen Later Nov 3, 2024 31:14


    Does God withhold good things from his people? No, but the enemy seeks to deceive us into believing this. In fact, all good gifts come from God. He only keeps back those things that would hurt us. Do not be misled about God's nature.

    Temptations (James 1:13-15)

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 27, 2024 38:40


    We cannot begin to deal with temptation until we realize that it comes from the world, the flesh, and the devil. Temptation is not sin, but sin separates us from god. It is better to not sin than to sin and be forgiven. God will provide a way out.

    Blessed: The Crown of Life (James 1:12)

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 20, 2024 30:39


    What does it mean to be blessed? It is not what the world thinks but it is having your strength and trust in God, being disciplined by him, fearing him, keeping his commands, seeking him with all your heart, being steadfast in trials, and more.

    God's Math (James 1:9-11)

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 13, 2024 31:57


    God looks at our hearts not our material status. Those who have faith have higher standing in God's economy than those with riches. We cannot Judge someone's godly condition by their earthly prestige. In Christ, there is no gap between rich and poor.

    Ask in Faith (James 1:6-8)

    Play Episode Listen Later Oct 6, 2024 40:02


    Is your panic button bigger than your prayer button? We must trust in Jesus, knowing that he is who he says he is. The Bible does not call us to doubt, but to faith and trust. If we doubt, we will have no stability in times of trouble.

    Wisdom (James 1:5)

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 29, 2024 35:09


    God must be the first place we go for answers. When we ask for wisdom, we are pleading for an essential need. Practical wisdom is what guides us through our daily lives. God provides it through his word and other mature believers.

    Perseverance (James 1:4)

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 22, 2024 29:26


    Perseverance is actively waiting and not giving up. Perseverance is necessary for us to develop into full grown Christians. Persevering through trials develops character and leads to hope. How can anyone who doesn't know God get through this life?

    Trials (James 1:2,3)

    Play Episode Listen Later Sep 15, 2024 33:15


    Chances are you are either in a trial or in between trials. We will face many on our way to the kingdom of God. Whether internal or external, trials are used to prove our faith and character and to build perseverance. We can be joyful in their midst.

    Hope

    Finale: The Life of Faith... (Hebrews 11:33-40)

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 18, 2024 27:09


    God is faithful to his word, but this is not a guarantee of prosperity and health. Some saints were martyred and some were spared but for all, the ultimate reward is in eternity. Faith helps us get through anything we face in this life.

    The Prophets (Hebrews 11:32)

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 11, 2024 34:35


    We must not confuse the foundational prophets with other prophets. A true prophet either foretells God's truth or tells the truth forth. The original prophets foretold the gospel. We must be willing to listen, testing everything against the scripture.

    We Are Built for Eternity

    Play Episode Listen Later Aug 4, 2024 45:09

    David: Psalms in the Key of Life (Psalm 57)

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 21, 2024 42:53


    Who do you look to for protection? David understood that God provides shelter in life's most dangerous moments. No matter what enemies we face, God will bring his work in us to completion. It is therefore natural to sing songs of his goodness.

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 14, 2024 37:20

    Sampson (Judges 13-16)

    Play Episode Listen Later Jul 7, 2024 37:27

    Judges 4-5
