Just as we were given new life by the word of God (James 1:18), so we grow in that new life by living according to the word of God. And that involves two things: Hearing the word and doing the word. James holds those two things together, not to be separated.

There's not a lot of need for excessive commentary in this new study! James is concise & challenging. But the truth is rich & serves as a reminder we all need.
James 1:1 | James, a Servant from CrossPointe Coast on Vimeo. Preacher: Jeremiah Fyffe James 1:1 WHO IS JAMES? TO WHOM IS JAMES WRITTEN? WHAT IS FAITH IN JAMES? JAMES, THE SERVANT JESUS IN JAMES Deuteronomy 32:4 (ESV) The Rock, his work is perfect, for all his ways are justice. A God of faithfulness and without iniquity, just and upright is he. Mark 6:2–3 (ESV) And on the Sabbath he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were astonished, saying, “Where did this man get these things? What is the wisdom given to him? How are such mighty works done by his hands? Is not this the carpenter, the son of Mary and brother of James and Joses and Judas and Simon? And are not his sisters here with us?” And they took offense at him. 1 Corinthians 15:7 (ESV) Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Thomas Manton how to bear afflictions, to hear the word, to mortify vile affections, to bridle the tongue, to conceive rightly of the nature of God, to adorn our profession with a good conversation, with meekness, and peace, and charity; finally, how to behave ourselves in the time of approaching misery James 2:14 (ESV) What good is it, my brothers, if someone says he has faith but does not have works? Can that faith save him? James 2:23 (ESV) and the Scripture was fulfilled that says, “Abraham believed God, and it was counted to him as righteousness”—and he was called a friend of God. Romans 3:28 (ESV) one is justified by faith apart from works of the law. Romans 2:9–10 (ESV) There will be tribulation and distress for every human being who does evil, the Jew first and also the Greek, but glory and honor and peace for everyone who does good, the Jew first and also the Greek. Matthew 12:48–49 (ESV) But he replied to the man who told him, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” And stretching out his hand toward his disciples, he said, “Here are my mother and my brothers! Matthew 28:20 (ESV) … teaching them to observe all that I have commanded you. Trials and Perseverance Mark 13:13 (ESV) And you will be hated by all for my name's sake. But the one who endures to the end will be saved. Hearing and Doing Matthew 7:24 (ESV) Everyone then who hears these words of mine and does them will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock. Partiality and Judgement Luke 14:12–14 (ESV) He said also to the man who had invited him, “When you give a dinner or a banquet, do not invite your friends or your brothers or your relatives or rich neighbors, lest they also invite you in return and you be repaid. But when you give a feast, invite the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind, and you will be blessed, because they cannot repay you. For you will be repaid at the resurrection of the just.” Faith that is Alive Matthew 7:16–17 (ESV) You will recognize them by their fruits. Are grapes gathered from thornbushes, or figs from thistles? So, every healthy tree bears good fruit, but the diseased tree bears bad fruit. John 14:15 (ESV) If you love me, you will keep my commandments. Speech and Integrity Matthew 12:34–35 (ESV) How can you speak good, when you are evil? For out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks. The good person out of his good treasure brings forth good, and the evil person out of his evil treasure brings forth evil. Pure Wisdom Matthew 11:19 (ESV) The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.” Humility and Dependance Matthew 6:33–34 (ESV) But seek first the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be added to you. “Therefore do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble. Riches and Poverty Matthew 6:19–24 ESV “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys and where thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also. Prayer & Restoration Luke 11:9–10 (ESV) And I tell you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened. John 14:6 (ESV) I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. John 10:9 (ESV) I am the door. If anyone enters by me, he will be saved and will go in and out and find pasture. Listen to the Apostles Acts 4:12 (ESV) And there is salvation in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given among men by which we must be saved. Ephesians 2:18 (ESV) For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father. Romans 5:1–2 (ESV) Therefore, since we have been justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ. Through him we have also obtained access by faith into this grace in which we stand, and we rejoice in hope of the glory of God.

James 1:2-4 (NASB) 2 Consider it all joy, my brothers and sisters, when you encounter various trials, 3 knowing that the testing of your faith produces endurance. 4 And let endurance have its perfect result, so that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. Theme: We as Christians can take joy in our trials because we know that God is using them to grow us to spiritual maturity. Three Encouragements to help us deal with life's trials: 1) Put on the Right Attitude in our Trials (1:2) 2) Have Accurate Knowledge about our Trials (1:3) 3) Understand the Intended Outcome of our Trials (1:4)
The Bible tells us that when lust is conceived, it gives birth to sin. How can you defeat the powerful giant of lust? In this convicting lesson, you'll learn to search your heart for the root cause and discover how to stand against the devil's deceptions. You can find forgiveness and victory against THE GIANT OF LUST. This message is called, THE GIANT OF LUST and it's from Pastor Jeff Schreve's series, LAND OF THE GIANTS.
James the Just writes to the Jews using pretty turns of phrase about endurance, a real killer, and rad raves. Possibly in opposition to Paul's teaching, he espouses the importance of works in addition to faith and taming the tongue.If you want MORE drinking and bible-ing, including bonus episodes, interviews with experts, fun mini series', and more, consider becoming a ‘parishioner' at Patreon.com/DrunkBibleStudyOur theme music is Book Club by Josh and Anand.
Are you just listening, or are you being changed? In this message, we are challenged to move beyond empty listening and into loving obedience. Too often, we hear God's Word, agree with it, even share it—but never allow it to shape our lives. This sermon calls us to stop treating God's Word as background noise and start letting it transform our hearts!
What is faith, and how can you keep it strong during life's storms? Listen as Pastor Emmanuel Agyei shares practical insights and guidance on nurturing unwavering faith, even in the toughest times.
Scripture: James 1:19-21 Key Takeaways: James 3:5-8 + Speaking must give way to hearing John 11:4 Luke 18:22-23 Mark 2:8-11 + The anger of man must give way to the righteousness of God James 3:13-16 Philippians 2:3-8 + Wickedness must give way to the implanted Word James 1:21 James 3:16-18
In the first 12 verses of James, he's been talking about trials. Now, in verse 13, he switches the topic to temptation. Perhaps better than any other passage in the NT, James lays out a process for how temptation and sin work in our lives.

The letter to the 12 tribes scattered across the world begins with words of incredible encouragement and hope.
Pastor Justin Hall preaches from James 1:26-2:13 in the series, James: Where Belief Meets Behavior.
It's okay to ask God to take away our trials. But in our waiting, we can also ask him to give us what we need to be faithful and fruitful in our trials. This is the wisdom from above, and it is available to all who ask.
James 1:1 (NASB) 1 James, a bond-servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ, To the twelve tribes who are dispersed abroad: Greetings.
Christian Joy in Trials | James 1:2-8 | 08/24/2025 by
Exaltation & Equality James 1:9-11 9 Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, 10 and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits. James 2:1-13 2 My brothers, show no partiality as you hold the faith in our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of glory. 2 For if a man wearing a gold ring and fine clothing comes into your assembly, and a poor man in shabby clothing also comes in, 3 and if you pay attention to the one who wears the fine clothing and say, “You sit here in a good place,” while you say to the poor man, “You stand over there,” or, “Sit down at my feet,” 4 have you not then made distinctions among yourselves and become judges with evil thoughts? 5 Listen, my beloved brothers, has not God chosen those who are poor in the world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom, which he has promised to those who love him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Are not the rich the ones who oppress you, and the ones who drag you into court? 7 Are they not the ones who blaspheme the honorable name by which you were called? 8 If you really fulfill the royal law according to the Scripture, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself,” you are doing well. 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law but fails in one point has become guilty of all of it. 11 For he who said, “Do not commit adultery,” also said, “Do not murder.” If you do not commit adultery but do murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged under the law of liberty. 13 For judgment is without mercy to one who has shown no mercy. Mercy triumphs over judgment. I. Boasting In Christ II. Treating All With Equality III. Loving Your Neighbor

Every day, over 400 million terabytes of information flood the internet. Knowledge isn't scarce—wisdom is. Countless “ways to live” compete for attention, yet James points us to the simplicity of being settled in Christ. Jesus gives the truth about who we are, freeing us from the noise and grounding our identity in Him. In this episode, Pastors Whit George and Angela Ekstrum explore identity in Christ vs. cultural identity, the authority of Scripture, and the power of community in forming us. Show notes: Listen to the message | An Invitation to Christian Living (for real): https://youtu.be/zJ3NP-9ICw0 In this episode, they reference the book Hearers & Doers by Kevin J. Vanhoozer

Pastor Justin Hall preaches from James 1:19-25 in the series, James: Where Belief Meets Behavior.
What does it mean to be truly pro-life? In this soul-stirring episode, we explore the crucial distinction between being merely "pro-life" and embracing a "pro-abundant life" stance that actively engages with those who are vulnerable in our communities. The dangerous idea floating around Christian circles today is that speaking truth or voting occasionally is sufficient. But James challenges us to a faith that gets its hands dirty—caring for orphans and widows while remaining unpolluted by the world's self-centered values. This isn't about tweeting the right things or winning theological arguments; it's about showing up consistently for those in need.We're going live every weekday with our Daily Spiritual Kickoff—free and exclusive inside our community.
