Podcasts about James 5

What if we could check our heavenly bank account balance with an app? How differently would we live if we could see our eternal rewards accumulating—or diminishing—in real time? This provocative thought experiment forms the heart of our exploration into priorities, faith, and America's Christian heritage.Jesse Cope challenges listeners to examine whether God truly comes first in their actions rather than just their words. "Have you made time for God today? Is He at the top of your list?" These questions reveal the gap between what we claim to value and how we actually spend our time. We often disguise our excuses as legitimate reasons, particularly when it comes to spiritual disciplines and relationships.The podcast takes a deep dive into James Chapter 5, examining warnings against unrighteous wealth and the call to patience in suffering. This scriptural guidance provides a powerful framework for understanding what truly matters in both our personal lives and our national identity.Speaking of national identity, Jesse presents compelling evidence from the 1892 Supreme Court case Holy Trinity Church v. United States, where Justice Josiah Brewer methodically documented America's Christian foundations. From Columbus's voyage (undertaken "by God's assistance") to the Mayflower Compact (created "for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith"), these historical documents clearly demonstrate that America's roots are firmly planted in Christian soil—contrary to revisionist histories that portray our founding as purely secular.Whether you're struggling with priorities, curious about America's spiritual heritage, or seeking to defend your faith more effectively, this episode provides both inspiration and practical tools. Join us as we explore what it means to live as if Christ might return at any moment, with our priorities properly aligned.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Season 3, Episode 16 w/ Mike Schutt

Life is hard. Today we celebrate Palm Sunday, remembering the day Jesus rode into Jerusalem as King. The crowds praised God and cheered for Jesus to take the thrown, but Jesus didn't give them what they wanted. Days later Jesus gave them what needed as he gave his life on the cross. Life is hard for us too and Jesus doesn't give us everything we want. Life is hard, so we pray. And Jesus gives us what we need.Recorded live at Word of Life Church in Le Sueur, Minnesota, on Palm Sunday, April 13, 2024, Pastor Jason Lang preaching.Powered by Restream https://restream.io/(Bensound Royality Free background music)

James 5:13-20 | Pastor Rick Cornejo Does Prayer Really Change Things? As we wrap up the book of James, we're reminded of the powerful truth that prayer does change things—because God changes things. Whether you're suffering, cheerful, or sick, James points us back to one consistent response: pray. This message unpacks the role of prayer, confession, and restoration in the life of every believer, with encouragement to choose joy and lean into the hope we have in Jesus.

Today, we see James' harshest condemnation of the rich. It is easy for us to hear this passage as a condemnation of the church and all that the church has. But in James's day, the church was poor.  It has nothing. This is actually a condemnation of those outside the church who are persecuting the church. It's a good reminder for us to think about what is happening in this text. But this text does force us to ask this question ourselves. Are we being good stewards of all God has given us?

James 5:7-12 | Pastor Rick Cornejo Trusting God in the Waiting In this message from James 5:7–12, we're reminded that waiting is not wasted. Like a farmer waiting on a harvest or a potato planted in faith, we're called to trust that God is working—even when we can't see it. This passage encourages us to stay patient, stand firm, and serve others while we wait for the Lord's return. With biblical examples like Job and practical wisdom from Scripture, this teaching calls us to grow deeper in trust, speak with integrity, and lean into God's compassion and mercy. "You have a pulse—God has a plan." Be patient. Stay faithful. God is working. Packinghouse's Sunday evening worship service from March 23, 2025.

We have spent a number of our lessons this year talking about how to have hope when crushed by trials, when hopeless because of suffering and loss, when feeling alone, and when tempted. All of these difficulties of life, from temptations and trials to sinning and being alone can cause us to be anxious. In […] The post REWIND: Hope When Anxious (James 5:1-5) appeared first on Biblical Truths from West Palm Beach church of Christ.

James 5:1-6 Indicators of Your Bad Investment by Upcountry Calvary

Steve Wiggins of GroundworksMinistries.com is sharing a devotional from the New Testament book of James, Chapter Five.

 Carriers The study of James 5:12-20 emphasizes the weight of our words and the power of prayer. James calls believers to integrity, urging them to let their "yes" be yes and their "no" be no, mirroring Jesus' teaching in Matthew 5. The passage stresses that our words should be trustworthy, not requiring oaths to prove sincerity. Furthermore, James highlights the importance of seeking God in all circumstances—prayer in suffering, praise in joy, and intercession in sickness. The study reinforces that healing and restoration come not through the act of prayer itself but through faith in Christ, the one who forgives and restores. Confession is also encouraged, not as a means of salvation but as a practice that fosters accountability and spiritual healing within the body of believers. Ultimately, James concludes with a call to pursue those who wander from the truth, recognizing that it is Jesus who redeems, restores, and covers sin. This study reminds us that in all things, we are vessels of Christ, called to live in His righteousness and extend His grace to others.

Have you heard about the patience of Job? How about the powerful prayers of Elijah? In our last study in the book of James, we'll learn from the examples of these great men and hear how we can apply what they taught to our lives today.

If Jesus were to come back today, what do you think He'd say about your bank account? That's one of the difficult things our teacher, Dr. J. Vernon McGee, talks about in this study of James 5. Learn that God gives wealth not to be hoarded, but to be used for the good of others.
