Podcasts about James 1

In today's sobering Morning Manna, we unpack how temptation conceives sin, and how unchecked desires give birth to destruction. Using Proverbs 6:24 and James 1:13–15, we trace the anatomy of sin—from the subtle lure of flattery to the fatal end of spiritual death. This isn't just about avoiding immorality—it's a call to guard the heart, kill sin early, and walk in the fear of the Lord.

We are starting a short series for our Sunday evenings in January called Authentic. The purpose of this series is to see how the scriptures picture how we can have a real faith and be real disciples. Now if you think about books in God's word that give pictures of what faith looks like, James […] The post REWIND: Faith In Trials (James 1:1-4) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

We are spending this month looking at James' teachings on how to have authentic faith especially during trying times. James 1 tells us that God is using trials to make us mature and complete so that we lack nothing. Therefore, we must let steadfastness have its full effect. Further, James tells us that we need […] The post REWIND: Faith When Angry (James 1:19-21) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

Seth DeRuiter explores how God uses trials to test and strengthen our faith, encouraging us to seek wisdom and embrace a divine perspective that transforms us into who we are meant to be.

This Sunday, as we continue our summer mini-series in the book of James, we're challenged to think about our own attitude toward the poor. God identifies himself with those who have no value in the eyes of the world (Isaiah 41). He commands Israel to care for the poor and the powerless (Deuteronomy 24), Jesus himself identifies with the poor and marginalized. Love for our neighbor includes compassion for the poor and the work of justice. Do we share God's special concern for the poor?     But then, James challenges all of us to think about our own attitude toward the rich. Do we envy them? Do we favor them, hoping to become one of them? On the other hand, for some of us, it can be a challenge to care about rich people. Love for our neighbor includes rich people too. At the heart of this week's scripture passage is a question about our attitude toward money and toward God. Does he have our highest allegiance? Do we believe he has the very best for us? Do we trust in his kingdom's abundance or do we fear scarcity? ------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media ⁠Website⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Threads⁠ | ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Vimeo⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠Apple App Store⁠ | ⁠Google Play Store⁠

This week in the book of James, we will explore the gaps between who we think we are, who we really are and who we are becoming. God is on a mission to heal us from our sin addiction, but detox is painful and new habits don't form overnight. Having been pardoned and adopted, we are learning what it means to live in a close relationship with God. It's going to take some work. God is with us in the work. It's a work of grace accomplished with wisdom and the Word.------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media ⁠Website⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Threads⁠ | ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Vimeo⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠Apple App Store⁠ | ⁠Google Play Store⁠

Wednesday Night // Sakenion Clayton // Summer Preaching Series James 1:13-18

Rev. Austin Britton exhorts us to live out the Gospel as we look at James.

Send me a Text Message!I love the way James hooks me with his statements. I don't know if he has such a way with words or if it's just the Spirit of God planting the seed in my soul. But from "Consider it pure joy with troubles come your way" to "Be quick to listen, slow to speak and slow to anger" to "God has chosen the poor of the world to be rich in faith" and know it's his definition of real religion. Real religion is caring for orphans and widows in trouble and keeping yourself uncorrupted  Caring for orphans and widows...and refusing to be corrupted by the world.  In our culture, those two challenges go hand in hand. Real religion is more than sitting in a church building, listening to the people sing or a pastor preach. It's making a difference in the lives of people in need. Are you looking for some real religion?

This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Salgado, Kirsten Salgado, Johnny V., Mike McHugh, and James Gowell. This week, David launches the episode and James chats about we've all shared the Book of James is the Proverbs of the New Testament, many ref's to the Sermon on the Mount, but the Holy Spirit shined a light on the Book of James being the practical application of the Sermon on the Mount.David then shifts to chapter 4, and the spiritual adultery references and being humble in the face of God. Some people put and take God on and off the shelf versus going all in.We go all over the place in this episode and have a powerful discussion of the fact that life, goes by in a moment and we are so groomed by the world to be wordly, and so many think they have weeks and years...but today is the day, seize the moment and give your life to Christ.Enjoy and we appreciate you listening.We encourage you to read James with us and comment on what has been sticking out to you?Have a blessed day.For more information visit: www.thrive.churchIf you would like to give financially you can do so here: www.thrive.church/give/If you need prayer email us at prayer@thrive.churchThis is a presentation of Thrive.Church©All Rights Reserved

Nate and Dr. Brandon Crowe begin a series on the book of James. Dr. Crowe has not one, but two books on the book of James coming out in the next year. One is a full commentary on the book of James and the other is a popular level book on James. In the coming weeks they will be going chapter by chapter through James discussing the theology and structure of the book, its audience, and what makes it unique.

If you would like to join us in our mission to train specialists in the bible to proclaim the whole counsel of God for Christ and his global church, visit ⁠wts.edu/donate⁠. Thanks for listening.

Send me a Text Message!In the last episode I said that James is really describing a life of trust in his letter to those who are scattered. A life of trust listens to, learns from and leans into the word of God, and a life trust not only breathes in those words, but also breathes out in prayer. So where is God asking you to respond, to trust him today? Over thecourse of the centuries you can hear this man James saying; "It will be worth it if you get to the point where you can hear God's voice and trust God's Word.  Hear and Do. Listen, learn and lean.We keep asking if we trust God, but maybe He's asking, "Can I trust you?"

Sin begins with desires in the heart, whether good or bad. Corrupt desires is coveting. Giving into temptations to fulfill those desires in twisted ways leads to death. This message draws from James 1:12-16 and other scriptures to make us aware of the desires that entice us and we look at how to put these sinful desires to death.

Big Idea: True faith is not just hearing God's Word but purposefully seeking to live it out.

Over the next few weeks, we are going to dive into a 3-part miniseries in the book of James, and what we will discover is the heart of a lead pastor who is concerned about his broken, desperate, and persecution-scattered brothers and sisters who are drifting toward fragmented lives rather than lives that are becoming more and more complete in Christ. He believes deeply in what his half-brother Jesus taught in the Sermon on the Mount, and he cries out in a clear, prophetic voice for their eager participation in God's sanctifying work of grace.------------------------------------------- Connect with us on Social Media ⁠Website⁠ | ⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Threads⁠ | ⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠ | ⁠Vimeo⁠------------------------------------------- Download our App⁠Apple App Store⁠ | ⁠Google Play Store⁠

Guest sermon from elder Ben Walters.

By Tim Martens - How do we build our relationships with other people?

Send me a Text Message!My goal through this podcast and my prayer for all of us is that we would be drawn to the Words of God, that we would develop a hunger to hang out with Jesus and listen to the whisper of His spirit through our hearts and out our ears.  My goal is that we would go to this book (the Bible) again and again in search of gold.  That our incentive would be the precious treasure of God-birthed healing in our hearts, inspiring our minds, and renewing our spirits. But my concern is that sometimes we treat the Words of God like a common worthless penny. We'll take it if somebody gives it to us, but don't expect me to dig for it. But what if one of God's greatest gifts are the Words He speaks?

The Recap: Where the Pastoring Out Loud hosts recap the most recent Sunday sermon. Published Fridays at 6am.Preacher: Dave Zuleger. Sermon Link. Intro/Outro – "Dwell With Us" by Nick Roen.

Send me a Text Message!Sometimes we get scattered and distracted, we walk through difficult paths in life, in part, because we didn't have a good guide to life. Or maybe you had no guide; no one to show you the sights in the daylight; how to journey to all the good parts and through the hard parts. But here's what I think James might say to us today, “You have a Father, a Father in heaven who knows the way to a life that thrives, even in the scattered times. Follow him. So the question for this episode in a life of prayer is simply, "Do you know your Dad?" I'm talking now about your heavenly Dad. When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them how to pray he said, "Ok, when you pray...say Father."  

Send me a Text Message!One of the questions that comes up frequently in regards to prayer is simply, "Does prayer matter?" I often receive some version of that question in relationship to unanswered prayer. Every death, every war, every cancer, every season of depression, every divorce stands as a monument to unanswered prayer. And so we hear the question in our hearts, "Does prayer matter?" I believe with all my heart that prayer is at the heart of our relationship with God and asking is at the heart of our prayers. But the bottom line is that few things motivate me to pray like answers to prayer.So here's the question for this episode, "Are there any prayers that God always answers?"

This week's discussion features Judah Thomas, David LaManna, Lenny Salgado, Kirsten Salgado, Johnny V., Mike McHugh, and James Gowell. Edited by: Tim NicholsonWhat does it really mean to be a “badass for Jesus” in today's world? In this episode, we're keeping it real and talking about the stuff that quietly pulls our hearts away from God—like our phones, comfort, and even our own pride. Let's be honest: modern idols don't usually look like golden statues. Most of the time, they're just the things that eat up our time and attention without us even noticing.We'll chat about how the Book of James calls out “spiritual adultery” (yep, that's a thing!), why it's so easy to get distracted, and how giving your life to Christ is about way more than just showing up on Sundays. Plus, we'll dive into the book Tortured for Christ and talk about what it means to actually suffer for Jesus—and why, believe it or not, that's something to be proud of.If you've ever wondered if you're loving the world a little too much, or just want some encouragement to go all-in for Jesus, this episode's for you. Let's laugh, get honest, and take some real steps toward living boldly for Christ.Also, we've included a little bonus feature at the end where the crew discusses Denny's, Waffle House, and Walmart.Enjoy and we appreciate you listening.We encourage you to read James with us and comment on what has been sticking out to you?Have a blessed day.For more information visit: www.thrive.churchIf you would like to give financially you can do so here: www.thrive.church/give/If you need prayer email us at prayer@thrive.churchThis is a presentation of Thrive.Church©All Rights Reserved

Send me a Text Message!James says that you are a kind of first-fruits of God's creative work. His work in you, in the midst of the trouble, His work in you is a first-fruit of His creative work. Think about that for a moment. You are a first-fruit. You're not a remnant; you're His firstfruits. What do I mean by that? Sometimes in scattering times. When  persecution comes and following Jesus is hard, we start thinking I'm all that's left. All that's left is a remnant. It's a mindset that says, I have to hang on to what I got with all I got. Because I'm all that's left. But listen, you're not all that's left, you are the first of what's to come. You're not the ending, you're the beginning. What God is doing in you, He going to multiply through you.And what He's doing in you is writing a story of overflowing joy!

Faith Works | James 1:1 | 6-22-25 by Kearney eFree Church

To live a life of real blessing and satisfaction before God. Pastor Ray Bentley says it takes full surrender, radical obedience. That's what God's will is for your life and mine. You want to know the reality of the Bible? You want to experience the glory of the Lord. Then radical obedience. Lord, I want to obey you in every area radically.

Today, pastor Ray Bentley points out why some people don't choose the good news of the gospel. Every other path other than Christianity offers an easier road. That's why it's so alluring, and why so often the Colts and weird things and people go after it, but it doesn't answer to the sin problem that you finally go, mama! I need something more powerful to deliver me.
