Podcasts about James 4

Life is filled with many, many decisions. Any piece of life lived outside the will of our father in heaven. All of a sudden, life becomes a confusing mystery. And that's why we need to learn to trust in his will. Pastor Ray Bentley urges us to keep our eyes on God and His desire for our lives. Let us choose to follow and obey the law.

Today, pastor Ray Bentley warns us about speaking evil of someone, no matter how it's packaged. Most people think that it's okay to pass on information or gossip or demeaning talk. As long as well. I didn't want to say anything. But after all, it is true. As if. Because what we are saying is true, it now gives us license to be able to bring other people down.

Pastor Ray Bentley on Harmony in the home. If within your own home, there is conflict and there is battles, and there is tension, and there is just pressure, and it's like a war that's going on. Recognize this is spiritual in nature. There is a spiritual battle taking place. You as a believer have to claim that territory for the Lord Jesus Christ.

When it seems like our lives are just an interconnected string of mess ups. Pastor Ray Bentley says there's good news. There is always more grace for the next step of your spiritual walk or journey. Even when we blow it, even when we sin, even when we fail, there is still a stream of love, grace and tenderness, forgiveness and mercy and affection toward us.

Are you a bit hesitant to ask the Lord for what you need? Pastor Ray Bentley says, God wants us to come to him with our request. Ask your father in heaven. You have not because you ask not. Why don't you pray and go to him and bring your needs to the Lord? If we would just ask the Lord about them, he will bless us and and listen, if it's right.

Current Sermon Series Faith in Fiction: Finding God Between the Lines June 29 – July 13 Stories have always been God's chosen medium—from ancient parables to modern novels. Literature doesn't just entertain; it reveals profound truths about the human condition, moral struggle, and our deepest longings for meaning and redemption. In this transformative sermon series, we'll explore how faith intersects with great works of fiction, discovering how authors across centuries have wrestled with questions of belief, doubt, sacrifice, and grace.  Each week, we'll examine how fictional characters mirror our own faith journeys—their moments of crisis and revelation, struggles with forgiveness, and encounters with the divine in unexpected places. Join us as we discover that the greatest stories are ultimately about us, our relationship with God, and the enduring narrative of redemption.

James chapter 4 puts in stark contrast the folly of fleshly living and the sweet success of submission to our loving God.

James 4:11-12 | July 6, 2025 | Pastor Darryl DelhousayeIn this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our hearts and actions when it comes to judging others. The central theme revolves around Jesus' teaching in Matthew 7: 'Judge not, lest you be judged.' We're reminded that our primary calling is to love God and love our neighbors, and that how we treat others is a direct reflection of our love for God. The message emphasizes the danger of deception, both from external forces and our own hearts, and how easily we can fall into the trap of speaking against our brothers and sisters in Christ. We're encouraged to approach correction with humility, always asking permission and speaking the truth in love. This teaching invites us to consider: How can we be peacemakers in our relationships? Are we quick to judge, or do we seek to restore and edify others? By embracing this wisdom, we can become powerful witnesses of God's love in a world desperate for unity amidst diversity.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.

Listen to Bryan Duncan preach a message from James chapter 4. This sermon is a continuation of our series through the book of James. 

James 4:7-10 | June 29, 2025 | Pastor Darryl DelhousayeIn this powerful exploration of humility and love, we're challenged to reconsider our understanding of what it means to truly love God. The central message revolves around Jesus' commandment in John 13:34-35 to 'love one another.' Fascinatingly, we learn that this love for others is actually how we demonstrate our love for God. The speaker draws our attention to James 2:8 and Galatians 5:14, emphasizing that fulfilling the 'royal law' is about loving our neighbors as ourselves. This perspective shift invites us to examine our own hearts and actions. Are we more concerned with how we're treated, or how we treat others? The message encourages us to adopt Christ's humility, seeing others as more important than ourselves. By doing so, we not only honor God but also resist the influence of negative spiritual forces in our lives. This teaching challenges us to live out our faith in practical, others-focused ways, reminding us that our treatment of people directly reflects our relationship with God.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.

James 3:13-18 | June 8, 2025 | Pastor Todd SmithIn our exploration of James 4:1-6, we uncover profound insights into the root causes of conflict and the path to spiritual harmony. James challenges us to examine our hearts, revealing how our unchecked desires and worldly attachments can lead to strife. The passage reminds us that our conflicts often stem from internal battles – our 'passions at war within us.' This introspective approach invites us to consider how our own selfishness and misplaced priorities contribute to discord in our relationships and communities. As we reflect on James' words, we're called to a deeper understanding of humility and its transformative power. The promise that 'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble' offers us a compelling reason to cultivate humility in our daily lives. This message resonates deeply, urging us to shift our focus from worldly pursuits to a God-centered perspective, potentially revolutionizing our approach to conflicts and relationships.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.
