Learning that Bible Faith is found in the humble heart receiving Grace

The Book of James: Faith and WorksDid your parents ever tell you: do as I say, not as I do?

But, when it comes to faith in Jesus, belief must show up in our behavior. Join us as we learn, from the Book of James, how to do what we say we believe.Part 4

What if the problem with our words is deeper than just saying the wrong thing?In James 3:1-12, we are invited to feel the weight of the tongue. Our words matter in our journey of faith, our work, and our community. They can bless God while wounding people made in his likeness. They can become a fire that divides, or they can participate in the healing work of the Word made flesh.This sermon traces James' warning against using words for our own elevation, his call to be quick to listen and slow to speak, and his deeper invitation: not the suppression of words, but the transformation of character. We cannot tame our tongues through technique. Instead, we bring our divided hearts, humbly and honestly to God and depend on Jesus, the Word of truth, to transform us.Questions for Reflection:What do my words reveal about myself?How do my words bless other people?What would tomorrow look like if I grounded my words in listening to Jesus?Scripture References: James 3:1-12, James 1:18-19, James 1:26-27, Genesis 1:1-3, Genesis 1:26, Genesis 2:19, John 1:1-3, Acts 2:2-4, Revelation 12:9-10, Psalm 119:105-112, Philippians 2:12-16.Sermon Notes & Liturgy | James: Faith at Work---Tired of consumer Christianity?

Learning the Truth about Faith in action

Faith That Is Alive | James 2: 14-26 | James: Faith Alive Dan DeCriscio | Elder

Learning where fights and wars come from among the people of God, which is from only a confession of faith but no fruit

What if faith was never meant to be a private belief you keep separate from the rest of your life?In week 5 of James: Faith At Work, we sit with one of the more difficult and controversial passages in the New Testament: James 2:14-26. James asks, to paraphrase, "What good is a claim of faith while ignoring a brother or sister in need?" He presses against a faith that separates us from our neighbors, from ourselves, and from God--faith that merely confesses the truth, all while leaving daily life untouched.This teaching reflects on James' warning about dead faith, his examples of Abraham and Rahab, and the deeper beauty underneath the warning: living faith is not performance. It is not self-justification. It is the whole person moving toward Christ. Faith is brought to fullness as the implanted word works through us in love, mercy, provision, and ordinary obedience.Questions for Reflection:What areas of my life have I separated from my faith?How is my faith at work in my daily life and community?What would tomorrow look like if I responded to faith at work within me?Scripture References: James 2:14-26, James 1:18, James 1:21, James 1:27, Matthew 25:34-40, John 13:35, Genesis 15:6, Genesis 22, Romans 3:28, Deuteronomy 6:4, Philippians 2:12-13, Psalm 107:1-9Voices/Quotes: Douglas J.

The Sin of Prejudice | James 1:1-13 | James: Faith Alive Scott Armstrong | Lead Pastor

Learning the difference between the two sources of wisdom

Many of our churches ignore our tendencies towards partiality, justify our favoritism, and excuse our cliquish exclusivity, labeling it 'fellowship.' But what if this is an afront to God, who, after all, "shows no partiality" (Rom. 2:11)? What if communities filled with partiality actually betray their professed faith in Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory?In week 4 of our summer series, James: Faith At Work, we sit with James 2:1-13 and the uncomfortable mirror it holds up to the church. This teaching begins by drawing our attention to the Greek word for partiality in verse 1, which carries the idea of "receiving the face" - judging a person by their visible surface, social status, usefulness, wealth, poverty, polish, burden, or perceived return. But faith is supposed to retrain our sight so that we no longer see the other person--rich or poor--as a category to manage, a resource to exploit, or an inconvenience to avoid. Faith at work sees beyond mere appearance, beyond the sur-face, and recognizes the face of the other as a summons to love.This message walks verse by verse through James' warning against favoritism, the royal law to "love your neighbor as yourself," and the law of liberty that frees us from the old economy of fear, status, and self-protection, and arrives at the fundamental Gospel truth that mercy triumphs over judgement. Lest we mistakenly think mercy is mere sentiment, we are reminded that mercy is love becoming visible, love made manifestly present, in the face of suffering--like Jesus, who was the vehicle of God's mercy.Questions for Reflection:Whose presence makes me feel important, and whose presence makes me feel burdened? Why?Do I see by the worldly facade, or by the divine Glory?Has the mercy I have received become visible over judgment?How am I responding to the faith at work within me?Scripture References: James 2:1-13, Psalm 25:1-10, Matthew 5:3, Matthew 22:34-40, Deuteronomy 6:4-5, 2 Corinthians 5:16-21Voices/Quotes: Emmanuel Levinas, Totality and Infinity; Douglas J.

Faith Tested & Sustained | James 1:1-18 | James: Faith Alive Scott Armstrong | Lead Pastor

A plant grown without wind grows weak. James says your faith is no different — the friction of an ordinary week may be the very thing God is using to strengthen and mature both you and your faith.In week 2 of our look at James we walk through James 1:19-27: How do we move from merely agreeing with our faith to participating in it fully? We consider the work of faith and faith at work, as we grow up into Christ-likeness — not as performance, but for maturation.Questions for Reflection:How am I responding to faith? Am I quick to listen, slow to speak, slow to anger?Do I live true to myself in Christ, participating with him in the labors of my day — free to be self-giving and free from all that binds?What would tomorrow look like if I responded to faith, and lived true?Scripture References: James 1:19-27, James 1:4, James 5:7-8, Psalm 37:1-11, Romans 3:28, Philippians 2:13, Matthew 11:25-30, Matthew 13:1-23, Acts 2Voices/Quotes: Martin Luther (on the placement of James in the canon); Common Prayer: A Liturgy for Ordinary Radicals (communion liturgy)Sermon Notes & Liturgy | James: Faith at WorkTired of consumer Christianity?

James 2:14 +++ EMBRACEEVV.COM

Sheltered, undisturbed plants may grow fast and even tall, but the result is a weak, fragile, and easily uprooted plant. By contrast, plants exposed to rain, wind, and the occasional disturbance grow strong, stable, and sturdy. Your soul works the same way.In this opening sermon of our summer series through the letter of James, we walk through James 1:1–18 and the old wisdom he himself leans into: that the trials we face are not meant to destroy us, but to activate and strengthen what has been given to us. We consider why the testing of faith produces steadfastness, what it means to ask God for wisdom without a divided soul, why the life resourced by appearances withers like grass, and the crucial difference between a trial and a temptation — one external, one a heart unsubmitted. Faith does its work not in one dramatic moment but over many ordinary ones, completing us — maturing us toward our purposed end — because what God starts in history and in us, he finishes in history through us.Questions for Reflection:James contends that the disturbances of life help ensure our maturation and completion. Where in your daily relations and responsibilities might God be activating and purifying your faith right now?When something hard hits, is your first instinct to face it as a trial that strengthens, or to read it as God against you? What would it look like to "count it all joy"?Where are you living divided — "double-souled" — tossed between believing and not believing? What wisdom do you need to ask God for, without doubting?Scripture References: James 1:1–18; Psalm 63:1–8; Proverbs 24:16; Acts 2:36; 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12; Psalm 1:3Voices/Quotes: Douglas Moo Commentary on James; John Calvin Commentary on the Catholic Epistles; Keith McCurdy Raising Sturdy Kids; Jonathan Haidt The Anxious GenerationSermon Notes & Liturgy | James: Faith at WorkChrist City Church gathers every Sunday at 10:10 AM at 642 Brookhurst Dr., Dallas, TX 75218; in the chapel at LHB. Come rest in Jesus.
