Podcasts about James 1

Be a doer of the word- What profit is God's word in our lives if we aren't living it out? James says rather than bearing the fruit of corruption from the world, we as believers should be living in the blessing that comes from being a doer of the word.

Old Testament Reading Malachi 3 (P. 802)

James helps us undersatnd (and reject) "worthless religion" in comparison with "Kingdom spirituality." One is rooted in the compassionate ministry of Jesus and the other has no lasting impact. In this sermon, we explore what this means. ++++++++++++++ Download the Church App here: https://bit.ly/3vxVr8q  If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to leave a comment below

Dealing with temptation- Temptation is going to come. It's not sin to be tempted, but how we respond to temptation is where sin and compromise can come into the picture. James shares some practical instruction on how to remain faithful when temptation comes.

From external to internal- Trials come to us from many different directions. The external pressure of trials many times leads to the internal pull of temptation. Thoughts of doubt and compromise can begin to invade our minds. There is a reward for enduring temptation.

In this first video episode of Worthy Pursuit, Amy dives into James 1 to talk about what it really means to have a faith that endures. When life gets hard, it's easy to ask “Why me?”—but James reminds us that our trials aren't wasted. They're opportunities for God to grow something lasting inside of us. In this episode, Amy talks about:

How to go through trials (Part 2)- James says that when trials come our way we should consider it an opportunity for great joy. How can we find joy in trials? We can find the proper guidance and motivation to endure through trials only through a relationship with Jesus Christ.

How to go through trials- Who was James the half-brother of Jesus? James had a very different perspective on life when he found out his older brother was God. If God is a God of love, why does He let us go through trials and heartache?

Joseph father of James- Joseph the father of James wasn't perfect, but the Bible tells us he was a just man. What lessons can be learned from his life about the role of a father? Parents be encouraged. Even Joseph had prodigal children.

ou do not become wise by accident. It takes intentional preparation.In this first message from the Prepared series, John Gunter opens the book of James with a challenge to stop being reactive and start being ready. He walks through how trials shape endurance, why asking God for wisdom is non-negotiable, and how spiritual maturity is built before the storms hit.Key Takeaways:Faith that prepares today is the faith that endures tomorrowGod gives wisdom generously to those who askPreparation beats temptation when pressure rises

James 1:13-18 - - Aug 9, 2025

In this sermon on James 1:18-27, Pastor Jared Richard explores how God works through His Word to both save and sanctify believers. The passage reveals that God "brought us forth by the Word of truth" (James 1:18), emphasizing that salvation comes through the gospel message being proclaimed and received through the Spirit's work. However, this new birth is only the beginning; God intends believers to become "a kind of firstfruits of his creatures," living testimonies of His redemptive work. Pastor Richard explains that while salvation is entirely God's work, sanctification requires our participation. Christians must position themselves before Scripture by hearing the Word (being "quick to hear"), receiving it with meekness, and obeying it rather than merely hearing it. True reception of God's Word manifests in three key areas: controlled speech that reflects Christ, putting away worldliness and sinful behaviors, and demonstrating "pure and undefiled religion" by caring for orphans and widows. The sermon concludes with the challenge that if we've been saved by the Word of truth, we must also be shaped by it.   WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!

19 Know this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger; 20 for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God. 21 Therefore put away all filthiness and rampant wickedness and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls.22 But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves. 23 For if anyone is a hearer of the word and not a doer, he is like a man who looks intently at his natural face in a mirror. 24 For he looks at himself and goes away and at once forgets what he was like. 25 But the one who looks into the perfect law, the law of liberty, and perseveres, being no hearer who forgets but a doer who acts, he will be blessed in his doing.26 If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless. 27 Religion that is pure and undefiled before God the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their affliction, and to keep oneself unstained from the world.

13 Let no one say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God,” for God cannot be tempted with evil, and he himself tempts no one. 14 But each person is tempted when he is lured and enticed by his own desire. 15 Then desire when it has conceived gives birth to sin, and sin when it is fully grown brings forth death.16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers. 17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom there is no variation or shadow due to change. 18 Of his own will he brought us forth by the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

The way we pray affects the outcomes, so we must pray faithfully.

In James 1:26, the Bible gives a powerful warning: “If anyone thinks they are religious and do not bridle their tongue, they deceive their own heart, and their religion is useless.” What does it really mean to bridle your tongue? In this teaching, we explore the biblical meaning behind this verse, using a live horse training demonstration to show how bridling gives direction, obedience, and control. Just as a horse must yield to the bit, we must surrender our words to God so He can direct our steps. Without controlling our speech, even our best religious efforts—church attendance, good behavior, or spiritual practices—become empty. Learn how to stop gossip, negative speech, and careless words, and discover how true obedience makes your faith useful to God.

This week's sermon explored James 1:19-27, where followers of Jesus are invited to be “quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to become angry.” In a world that celebrates instant reactions and sharp words, Scripture calls Christ's people into a deliberate, countercultural posture. Listening is not mere courtesy, but a calling. We're shown that deep spiritual transformation reveals itself in how we respond with patience, tender words, and restraint. Anger itself is not sinful, but a signpost, beckoning us to slow down, examine our hearts, and invite the Spirit to guide our every response so that our lives and speech produce the righteousness God desires.Support the show

Sermon, "James 1:19-27," by John Paternoster during the Morning Worship Service on Sunday, September 28, 2025, at Calvary Baptist Church in Battle Creek, Michigan

James 1:12-16 (NASB) 12 Blessed is a man who perseveres under trial; for once he has been approved, he will receive the crown of life which the Lord has promised to those who love Him. 13 No one is to say when he is tempted, “I am being tempted by God”; for God cannot be tempted by evil, and He Himself does not tempt anyone. 14 But each one is tempted when he is carried away and enticed by his own lust. 15 Then when lust has conceived, it gives birth to sin; and sin, when it has run its course, brings forth death. 16 Do not be deceived, my beloved brothers and sisters. Theme: To progress in the path to spiritual maturity, Christians must continually overcome temptations of the flesh.

Pastor Jared Richard's sermon on James 1:2-18 examines the strange pairing of joy and trials that James introduces in his letter. Just as some unexpected combinations work well together (like French fries and milkshakes), joy and trials can coexist when viewed through the lens of godly wisdom. Pastor Jared explains that God uses trials to reveal genuine faith and strengthen it as He prepares believers for future glory. The sermon outlines two possible paths when facing trials: the path of wisdom and the path of foolishness. The path of wisdom sees trials as tests from a good Father who wants us to succeed, leading to endurance, perseverance, and ultimately Christian maturity. This perspective allows believers to "count it all joy" (James 1:2) amid difficulties. Conversely, the path of foolishness views trials as temptations, leading to sinful desires, actions, and ultimately death. Pastor Jared reminds us that God is unchanging and good, that He "gives generously to all without reproach" (James 1:5), and that for those who remain steadfast, the "crown of life" awaits (James 1:12).   WE'D LOVE TO HEAR FROM YOU!
