Transitions can look like blessings on the outside — but still feel heavy on the inside. In this episode of The Faith & Aloha Show, I'm sharing how God is teaching me to find joy, not in the ease of the season, but in the endurance He's building through it.We're digging into James 1:2-4 and what it really means to count it all joy — even when you're stretched, tired, and still figuring it out.
Lance, Craig, and Zach examine James' discussion of temptation, its source, and consider what can be done when facing it.
Welcome to our Sunday Morning Service Podcast! The teaching this week was on the fruit of the Spirit and how we are responsible for our inner world. Scripture references are James 1, Isaiah 60, Psalm 139:17-18, Jeremiah 29:11 and a few others! Enjoy

James 1:22-27 | May 4, 2025 | Pastor Josh GoertzenIn this powerful message, we're challenged to move beyond merely hearing God's Word to truly living it out. James 1:22-27 serves as our guide, reminding us that being 'doers of the word' is the essence of authentic faith. We're encouraged to look carefully and persevere in God's Word, not just glancing at it like a mirror we quickly forget. The key to this transformation? Growing in our love for Jesus by truly grasping His immense love for us. This isn't about mustering up willpower, but about letting Christ's love fuel our actions. We're called to watch our speech, care for the vulnerable, and remain unstained by the world. These practical steps reflect a faith that's alive and active, mirroring Jesus' own life as the Word made flesh. As we partake in communion, we're invited to rest in the gospel, remembering that our salvation comes not from our own doing, but from Christ's perfect fulfillment of God's Word on our behalf.To find out more about Crossroads Community Church or to connect with us, visit the following links:→ lifeatcrossroads.org→ facebook.com/lifeatcrossroadsTo give online: lifeatcrossroads.org/giveonline.CCLI License: 2915685CCS WorshipCast License: 9466GRANT OF LICENSE.

How is it possible for the believer to know blessing when in the midst of trial? Kelly explores the answer to this question in this the sixth Quick Reminder from the epistle of James.www.instagram.com/thehishillpodcast/www.hishill.orgkelly@hishill.org
In this message, Pastor Cameron dives into James 1:26-27, warning believers not to deceive themselves into thinking they are devoted when they might not be. True devotion, James teaches, is shown by controlling the tongue, caring for the vulnerable like widows and orphans, and remaining unpolluted by the world's standards. Pastor Cameron emphasizes that devotion isn't about empty religious rituals but living out the gospel. He challenges us to align our hearts with God's truth, make choices that reflect His love, and build habits of repentance and service, ensuring our devotion is rooted in action, not appearances.
20 Proverbs 18-19; 27 Daniel 11-12; 28 Hosea 1-8; 19 Psalms 111-118; 58 Hebrews 12-13; 59 James 1-3
Ironic Boasts of the Bible - A Low but High Position 9 Now the brother or sister of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position; 10 but the rich person is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so also the rich person, in the midst of his pursuits, will die out. - James 1:9-11 How is being poor and lowly a high position and why should we boast in that? That seems backwards, but it's the wisdom James offers. James' line of reasoning is thus like that of the Psalmist in Psalm 37. Tune in to this episode of the Bible in Life podcast to think through how people who have very little can boast in their high position.

After spending some time writing to the church concerning trials and temptations, James writes about the role of works in the believer's life, citing specific works such as caring for orphans & widows in their distress and avoiding favoritism. It is not one's work that earns him salvation, rather, good works are the evidence that one is a true disciple. Faith without works is a dead faith. He calls man's tongue a “restless evil, full of deadly poison,” and points to self-centered passions as the cause for conflict amongst brothers. He chastises the rich who withhold wages from the poor and calls out businessmen who plan presumptuously. Finally, he calls the church to humility, encouraging them to trust in the Lord.James 1 - 1:09 . James 2 - 5:33 . James 3 - 10:58 . James 4 - 14:07 . James 5 - 17:08 .
