Welcome to the School of Ministry Podcast, where today, we delve into the profound teachings of James Chapter 1. In this episode, we explore the nature of temptation and the promises of God's great blessings as we overcome these. We see the shift in James from counting trials as joy to recognizing God's help amidst temptation. Join us as we navigate through the oldest book of the New Testament and uncover insights on how Christians can pass the tests of faith, resist the lure of temptation, and ultimately receive the crown of righteousness promised by the Lord. We discuss the distinctions between trials that lead to spiritual growth and temptations that result in sin, and the role of personal responsibility in these spiritual battles. This episode offers a rich exploration of faith's genuineness, the importance of personal accountability, and the spiritual rewards awaiting those who persevere. Tune in to understand how the Christian journey is marked by both trials and triumphs, leading us to that great day when we are in the presence of God.

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assistance") to the Mayflower Compact (created "for the glory of God and advancement of the Christian faith"), these historical documents clearly demonstrate that America's roots are firmly planted in Christian soil—contrary to revisionist histories that portray our founding as purely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
What happens when a nation forgets its spiritual foundations? In this thought-provoking exploration of America's Christian heritage, Jesse Cope connects seemingly disparate current events—from China's role in the fentanyl crisis to universities' embrace of DEI policies—to reveal a common thread: our collective unwillingness to acknowledge ideologies fundamentally opposed to our founding principles.The heart of this episode centers on an illuminating examination of the 1811 New York Supreme Court case "People v. Ruggles." Through Chief Justice Kent's powerful opinion, we discover how early American jurisprudence understood religious freedom in a way dramatically different from today's interpretations. Kent unequivocally declared America "a Christian people" whose morality was "deeply engrafted upon Christianity," distinguishing the true faith from what he called "imposters." This historical perspective challenges our modern assumption that the First Amendment requires treating all religions equally.Cope brilliantly articulates that the First Amendment was never intended to "separate God from the state" but rather to prevent the government from favoring particular denominations—a crucial distinction lost in contemporary discourse. Drawing from James Chapter 4, he confronts listeners with a fundamental choice between friendship with the world and friendship with God, warning that pursuit of the former inevitably leads to conflict with divine principles.For anyone concerned about America's spiritual direction, this episode offers both sobering analysis and hopeful perspective. As Calvin Coolidge once observed, "The foundations of our society and our government rest so much on the teachings of the Bible that it would be difficult to support them if faith in these teachings would cease." Have you made God your checkbox or your compass? The answer to this question might determine not just your personal faith journey but our collective future as a nation.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe
Liberty flows from God's word - this profound truth echoes through James Chapter 1 and America's founding documents alike. In this thought-provoking episode, we explore how the biblical concept of being "doers of the word, not merely hearers" applies both to our personal faith and our national character.Drawing from James' powerful teaching on perseverance through trials, we unpack what it truly means to practice "pure and undefiled religion" - bridling our tongues, caring for widows and orphans, and remaining unstained by the world. These spiritual disciplines don't just strengthen our individual walks with Christ; they form the foundation of liberty in a republic.The episode takes a fascinating historical turn as we examine early Supreme Court decisions that explicitly affirmed America's Christian foundation. The 1844 case Vidal versus Gerard's Executors reveals how the highest court unanimously declared that education without Christianity "is not valuable" and that establishing non-Christian schools was not even to be "presumed to exist in a Christian country." We also explore the Court's 1884 affirmation that our rights come "not by edicts of emperors or decrees of parliament or acts of congress, but by their Creator."This illuminating journey through scripture and American history challenges the modern narrative that seeks to separate our rights from their divine source. If the Declaration of Independence acknowledges that our rights come from God, how can we logically exclude God from our institutions?Whether you're struggling with personal trials, seeking to deepen your faith, or interested in understanding America's religious heritage, this episode provides powerful encouragement to align your priorities with eternal truths. Join us as we discover how drawing closer to God and helping others do the same remains the surest path to liberty, both personal and national.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

Faith without works is dead. Even the demons believe and tremble. Faith alone can't save you. These statements are all from or based on one of the most misunderstood chapters in the whole Bible: James 2. Let's look at it.Related Episodes:Why do good works if they don't save?: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/FdRMeASwfRbHow Jesus Shared the Gospel: https://spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/SS8ujBSwfRb
This week, John preached from James Chapter 4, focusing on the call to draw near to God and His promise to draw near to us. He spoke about the importance of humility, reminding us that God lifts up the humble and that a surrendered heart creates space for His presence.
In his sermon, Pastor Pencil continues the "Live Out Loud" series by exploring how to resist worldliness, using James Chapter 4 as the primary text. He emphasizes that total submission to God is crucial in combating worldliness, which often leads to conflicts and desires that distract from faith. The pastor warns against the pride and criticism that stem from worldly behaviors, reminding the congregation that judgment belongs to God alone. He concludes by urging everyone to actively submit to God and surrender their lives, encouraging a deeper relationship with Him through humility and prayer.
We often rush to James chapter 2 to quote "faith without works is dead" without so much as glancing at the larger context. Let's make sure we're being true to James's intent by actually looking at what it is!Related episodes:What James 2 IS Talking About: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2UfylszAE3VLf29SSfn1Cy?si=7bb7cc88b1904d07Faith, faith, faith: https://open.spotify.com/episode/7M9gZwL5CPSH5I5ngL2ZFb?si=92bdbbe045684b06
Fr. Clint continues with "The Sins of the Wealthy" covering James Chapter 4:13-5:6.
Welcome to Chapel City Church! Last week we opened up James Chapter 4 and looked at where conflict comes from. As much as we would like to blame other people or blame our circumstances, it was clear that conflict ultimately comes from us. Our sinful motives, our selfish desires, wage war within us and lead us to war with others. So the question becomes, what do we really want? Are we seeking our own good, our own gain, our own voice, […]

Have you ever felt inundated with Biblical information, yet still unsure about your grasp of Scripture? Has a lack of understanding ever created a lack of confidence in your faith? In this enlightening episode of the “I Used to Think” season of Jesus Over Everything, Lisa Whittle examines why biblical literacy may not be the primary issue facing believers today but rather a deeper crisis of faith.Drawing from current research to highlight how this crisis is shaping the Western church, Lisa unpacks four ways believers are affected by this problem, and offers one crucial question you must ask to strengthen your faith.Key Moments:(0:40) - Revealing crucial evidence of a widespread problem(4:07) - Is knowing more the answer?(5:50) - Is biblical literacy truly our biggest challenge?(4:28) - Do we need more knowledge of the Bible?(6:46) - Insights from Pew Research, Barna, and WSJ on Bible consumption trends(10:34) - What we can learn from James Chapter 1(14:45) - Why clarity is essential in the face of confusion(16:43) - Exploring the depth of belief and what it means for your faith(18:43) - The impact of false doctrine on belief systems(20:16) - Addressing exhaustion — “It's more than just being overscheduled…”(23:53) - Why we question our faith when we struggle?(27:58) - What are the consequences of unfaithfulness and compromised offerings?(29:19) - A question to ask ourselves about belief Mentioned in the episode:Crossway: https://www.crossway.org/PlusPrep Dish: https://prepdish.com/JOECoaching: https://www.lisawhittle.com/coaching-with-lisa Resources:Special thank you to this season's sponsors of the Jesus Over Everything show:Crossway: “The Story of Jesus: A Guided Journey Through the Gospel of John” shares the gospel message in an inviting, book-like format that's accessible for both nonbelievers and new Christians.

Justification is Yahweh's imputation of that righteousness which His righteousness rightly requires Him to require of us. Imputation simply means that Yahweh credited us with Yahshua Messiah impeccable righteousness the moment we trusted Him as our Saviour.Since justification is solely by faith alone in Yahshua Messiah alone and by grace alone, should we not expect it to be challenged historically; that is, again and again as time goes by? Let me state that another way: if there is only one way for a man to be just before Yahweh, would you not expect challenges to that truth? There are two sides to the gospel, the good news of the New Testament: an objective side (relies on factual evidence that can be proven right or wrong.) and a subjective side (information is based on personal feelings, tastes, or opinions). The objective content of the gospel is the person and work of Yahshua Messiah—who He is and what He accomplished in His life. The subjective side is the question of how the benefits of Yahshua Messiah's work are appropriated to the believer. There the doctrine of justification comes to the front.The Reformers believed and taught that we are justified by faith alone. Faith, they said, is the sole instrumental cause for our justification. By this they meant that we receive all the benefits of Yahshua Messiah' work through putting our trust in Him alone.We have been exploring the significance of Justification. Is it by Faith Alone or as the Roman Catholic Church tells us that Justification includes Baptism and other rituals?In our last study we looked at Paul as he had to set Peter and other disciple's straight there in Galatians. In today's study we are going to take a look into the writings of James.In this part of the Justification study, I will attempt to show from the text and context:That the faith spoken of in James 2:14ff is always the faith of a Christian, not the initial faith of an unsaved sinner in response to the Gospel, nor simply an "intellectual" faith that does not save.That in reference to this faith, James is not addressing the eternal destiny of his readers, rather their effectiveness and productivity in this life.That James' intention is practice: he is encouraging Believers to practice their faith via good works.That Believers dare not minimize good works, nor make them irrelevant.That James and Paul are in complete agreement that…justification (forensic/heavenly) before Yahweh is by faith alone in Yahshua Messiah alone, and,Justification (practical/earthly) before men is by faith-life-produced works.This section of Scripture, James 2:14-26, is used by Roman Catholicism, Eastern Orthodoxy, Mormonism, Jehovah's Witnesses, etc. to support the idea that works are necessary for salvation.James begins this topic by distinguishing between true faith and false faith.True faith is fiduciary. Mere mental acknowledgment is ascentia. Fiduciary is a heartfelt trust in someone or something. Ascentia is mental acknowledgment, intellectual awareness of the existence of something – the way the devil acknowledges Yahweh's existence.True faith (fiducia) has works. False faith (ascentia) has no works.We behave based on what we believe. So, we can tell what is in a person by what he or she does or says.Matthew 12:34, “You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.”This is why it says2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if anyone is in Yahshua Messiah, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”Galatians 5:22–23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”Have any questions?

Let me state that another way: if there is only one way for a man to be just before Yahweh, would you not expect challenges to that truth?The gospel of Yahshua Messiah is always at risk of distortion. It became distorted in the centuries leading up to the Protestant Reformation of the sixteenth century. It became distorted at countless other points of church history, and it is often distorted today. This is why Martin Luther said the gospel must be defended in every generation. It is the center point of attack by the forces of evil. They know that if they can get rid of the gospel, they can get rid of Christianity.The Reformers believed and taught that we are justified by faith alone.

False faith (ascentia) has no works.We behave based on what we believe. So, we can tell what is in a person by what he or she does or says.Matthew 12:34, “You brood of vipers, how can you, being evil, speak what is good? For the mouth speaks out of that which fills the heart.”This is why it says2 Corinthians 5:17, “Therefore if anyone is in Yahshua Messiah, he is a new creature; the old things passed away; behold, new things have come.”Galatians 5:22–23, “But the fruit of the Spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 23 gentleness, self-control; against such things there is no law.”Have any questions?

In this episode of Brothers Just Searching, we explore James 2:14-26, where James emphasizes the vital relationship between faith and works, asserting that faith without works is dead. We also address the common misconception that James and Paul are in disagreement on this issue, highlighting how their teachings are actually complementary, rather than contradictory. Join us as we break down these passages and provide clarity on how both apostles align in their understanding of faith and its expression through action.
