In this episode, we dive into James 1:5–8 and discover what it really means to ask God for wisdom “in faith, with no doubting.” James isn't condemning honest questions—he's warning against divided loyalty. Learn how wisdom, faith, and steadfastness work together to mature us in Messiah.Show Notes: James says YHWH gives wisdom generously, but only to those who ask in faith. In this teaching we unpack what James means by “doubt,” why double-mindedness makes us unstable, and how steadfast devotion shapes maturity. We also consider how to deal with real intellectual doubts in a healthy, biblical way.Scripture Highlights: James 1:5–8 James 3:17–18 James 4:2–4, 8 Psalm 77:8–15 Jude 22 Takeaway: Asking in faith is about loyalty to YHWH, not absolute certainty. True wisdom produces purity, peace, and steadfastness.
The sermon emphasizes the importance of seeking wisdom from God, highlighting it as a vital resource for navigating life's challenges and fulfilling various roles. Drawing from James 1, it underscores that true wisdom isn't merely knowledge but a spiritual discernment rooted in faith, characterized by purity, peace, and a humble recognition of one's own lack. The message stresses that asking for wisdom is an ongoing practice, requiring trust in God's generous nature and a rejection of doubt, ultimately pointing to Christ as the source of all wisdom and the embodiment of God's perfect plan.

Prayer is not begging from a distant God—it's confident communion with a Father who has already given us all things in Christ. In this message, we'll explore how to ask in faith—not from fear or lack, but from a heart persuaded by God's promises and rooted in His nature. Discover how to align your thoughts, emotions, and expectations with the finished work of Jesus so your prayers reflect trust, not striving—and how asking in faith invites both transformation and fruitfulness.
A real evidence of faith is persistent prayer. But why do we find it so hard to continue in prayer without giving up? The answer comes down to our focus - are we focused on our fears and doubts or are we focused on God and His Word? Join Nate and Gabe as they share how the heart that is intentionally gazing on the Faithful One, is the one who will be able to persevere in prayer until they see breakthrough. Faith is not something God expects us to muster up on our own. In fact, true faith doesn't come from us at all! It is precious to realize that faith is something God forms in us as we focus on Him, cultivating intimacy with Him through prayer and His Word. Do you want to increase in faith? Increase your time with the Faithful One and He will impart faith to you!Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

It impossible to please God without Faith. Hebrews 11 @BrittAyeni
God tells us to ask Him for things in prayer! But why do we ask sometimes and not see anything happen? Often we ask but then give up too soon because things don't happen on our timeline. But all too often our asking is motivated by our selfish desires. The key to getting what we ask for is learning to ask and pray with a heart that is in alignment with and submission to the will of God.Faith is not something God expects us to muster up on our own.

If we want to grow in faith, it is imperative that we ask ourselves - what competes with faith in our lives? What hinders us from being able to walk in faith? If faith comes by listening to the Word of God, then the reverse is true as well. Our faith is decreased when we listen to things that are contrary to the Word of God. Unbelief and doubt come into our lives when we give our ear to other things. What are you focused on? Your own opinions or the opinions of other people? The lies of the enemy? Shift your focus to the Faithful One and to His word, and your faith will increase!Faith is not something God expects us to muster up on our own. In fact, true faith doesn't come from us at all!

Augustine said: “Faith is to believe what you do not see. The reward for this faith is to see what you believe.” When Jesus commanded us to Ask in Faith, He also gave us an invitation - an invitation to draw near to the Faithful One and allow Him to persuade and convince us of His power and His ability to perform that for which we pray. Join us as we open up this new command to Ask in Faith. You will be encouraged to allow God to reveal His faithfulness to you, and thus, increase your faith.Faith is not something God expects us to muster up on our own.

Christian Sermons from Calvary Chapel Greenmeadow, North Kingstown, RI
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.
Wednesday Evening
Understanding "Name It, Claim It": True Biblical ContextGod wants me to be happy. He wants me to have what I desire, so I will just name the blessing I want, claim it for myself, and I will receive it. After all, Jesus said, "ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you," right? Sounds like the perfect recipe for happiness! But what does Jesus really mean when he says that? Let's examine the context of this saying and be assured that Jesus loves us too much to give us whatever we ask for. Instead, through the working of His Word in us, He motivates us to ask for whatever HE wants. That is a recipe for true happiness!In this video, we delve into passages like I John 5:13-15, John 16:16-24, Luke 11:5-13, and I Kings 19:11-13 to uncover the true meaning behind Jesus' words. We'll explore how understanding God's will and aligning our desires with His can lead to genuine joy and fulfillment. Join us for an enlightening study on the profound difference between asking for what we want and seeking what God wants for us.#BiblicalContext #NameItClaimIt #TrueHappiness #AskInFaith #GodsWill #BibleStudy #JesusTeaching #ChristianLiving #SpiritualGrowth #PrayerSupport the Show.Moved to give? http://dschurch.link/givedoralFor more info about our church please visit our website: https://divinesaviorchurch.com/dscdor/

We do not work to get faith; we work because we have faith.
Sermon Series: The Book of James | Passage: James 5:13-20
The wisdom of the world is unstable and unreliable, but the majority of people today, including many within the church put their trust in it. A double-minded man is unstable in all his ways and the man who attempts to follow after Jesus Christ and trust in the wisdom of the world will live an unstable life. The wisdom of God is Jesus Christ Himself! This wisdom is a mystery to the world we live in. This wisdom comes to us through the Holy Spirit as we walk in reverence with our Savior and Lord. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.The wisdom of God is pure, peaceable, gentle, reasonable, full of mercy, and good fruits, unwavering and without hypocrisy! The wisdom of the world is earthly, natural, and demonic. Are you living according to the wisdom from above?!

After reading certain scriptures, some might be lead to think that because Jesus said it, you can ask God for anything and you will receive it. But, a more thorough reading of Sacred Scripture reveals the truth, and the promise, behind these passages.

The foundational truth today is that “when you obey the ridiculous, you empower the miraculous”. Elijah was not the only prophet in the land, but he was the prophet God was calling upon to listen and obey the ridiculous. Elijah did not question God because he knew God!
