Steadfast to the End - James 1:12-27 by MERCYhouse
20 Proverbs 31, 1; 1 Samuel 16-20; 19 Psalms 73-77; 58 Hebrews 11-13; 59 James 1-3
(This podcast was previously published on April 7, 2021) Jesus Ministries, Joan Boney ... God calls HIS Word to our mind by HIS Spirit. We must learn to stop and focus on "that" word when this happens. Or if we are reading Bible and a scripture stands out to us as we are reading, stop and focus on "that" scripture for there is a special message from God to us in that verse and it will fill a hole in our heart at that exact moment if only we will stop and focus on that scripture. James 1: 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. 18 Of HIS own will begat HE us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of HIS creatures. 19 Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: 20 For the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. 21 Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls. 22 But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. Consider this: What was the last scripture brought to your attention by the Holy Spirit? Look at that scripture for it is a special message from God to you and it will fill a need in your heart at this point in time. Learn to collect these scriptures and look through these scriptures throughout the day. They will strengthen you and help you to keep faith in God in the midst of darkness of this present world. Here is a scripture which delights me and excites me and encourages me to speak things of God. Philippians 2:15-16 Paul says: That ye may be blameless and harmless, the sons of God, without rebuke, in the midst of a crooked and perverse nation, among whom ye shine as lights in the world; Holding forth the word of life; When I am with someone, and God reminds me of a scripture, I try to have courage to share that scripture or that concept for that is what that person needs at that exact moment. I don't plan ahead what I will say. I often pray asking God to have me to speak only that which HE wants spoken when I am with another person. Then when I am reminded of that scripture or concept, I speak. Then I know that is God doing the work, and not me.
We launch into the text of James today! "Count it all joy... Ask for wisdom, and ask with faith..."
Let's open the Bible and walk through James 1 using an ancient practice called Lectio Divina, a intentional way to read Scripture that has been used for centuries. It moves through four simple steps: reading the text carefully, meditating on what stands out, praying in response to what God reveals, and resting quietly in His presence to then act it out.We talk about trials, asking God for wisdom, and why peace can come before circumstances change. This is for anyone who feels unsure how to read the Bible or wants a deeper, more personal relationship with God. Or if you want a fun little Bible study to get you thinking deeper about James 1!If you want to learn more about the practice of lectio divina, here is a helpful websiteConnect with me on:

James 1:9-11
Our community believes God cares deeply for kids who need homes. We partner with Fostering Hope to care for children in vulnerable circumstances. Their founder and director, Jonathan Reid, shared with us this Sunday. We also heard from one of our own members serving on a Care Team. The God who is high above all things bends His power toward the powerless: the fatherless, the widow, the sojourner, three groups marked by relational loss, people without the structures of support God designed us to live within. This reminds us that God created human beings to flourish in safe and faithful relationships. When those relationships fracture or are lost, vulnerability follows. God does not distance Himself from that vulnerability but moves toward us. We welcome because we were welcomed. We love because we were loved. We draw near because God drew near to us. ***We apologize for the audio interference in this recording.***
Real Faith | Real Life
The book of James has often been misunderstood as anti-grace—but nothing could be further from the truth. In this sermon, Pastor Mitch explores how salvation is fully a work of God’s will, and why obedience naturally flows from a life transformed by grace. Faith without works is dead, not because works save us, but because grace never stays hidden.

We live in a complex world, and learning to navigate it well requires wisdom. But what is wisdom? Where does it come from? How do we seek it?
We live in a cultural moment where people are longing for wisdom, yet increasingly uncertain where to find it. James' letter speaks to this longing— not with vague spiritual sentiment, but with direct, practical wisdom for forming resilient lives of faith grounded in Jesus, the embodiment of God's wisdom.

We dive into the Saturday night high school slate with Trent Moorehead who is elated after his Hauser Jets big win over Batesville. Then, the legend Greg Rakestraw called the game of the week in Indiana between Fishers and Carmel. How did the Tigers manage to keep their winning streak alive?

Then, Cory McKim from River Forest makes an appearance with his team’s victory over Lake Station. We also get to the Indiana Hoosiers’ thrilling win out west over UCLA, a defensive slugfest between Orleans and North Davies. Lastly, Brad Moorehead, Trent’s brother, calls in to chat about his South Dearborn team and their victory. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
James 1:2-4 | Raquel Pierre | January 31, 2026 by Church of the Advent Hope
God is truth, God is love, and God is being itself. Today's Catechism readings begin to unpack the eternal nature of God and share with us God's “innermost secret." Fr. Mike teaches us that because God made us in his image and likeness, then we too are called to embody truth and love. Today's readings are Catechism paragraphs 212-221. This episode has been found to be in conformity with the Catechism by the Institute on the Catechism, under the Subcommittee on the Catechism, USCCB. For the complete reading plan, visit ascensionpress.com/ciy Please note: The Catechism of the Catholic Church contains adult themes that may not be suitable for children - parental discretion is advised.
James 1:27–2:13 shows us that God is a Father to the fatherless and a defender of widows, one who seeks out and protects those who need to be held. If we desire to be like God, we must remain impartial in our compassion, hold justice and grace together, and humbly recognize our own weaknesses and limitations.
