Friend or Foe?

visit this site right here There’s no getting around it, we want what we want. Left unchecked, our desires can lead us to do awful things. But, God is gracious and calls us to humility!

In this passage, James rebuked his church for the sin of selfishness. He call them out for allowing their passions that war within them to cause conflict in the church. Rather than praying about things and submitting them to the Lord, they coveted, fought, even murdered! When they did pray, they prayed in order to squander it on themselves. Thankfully, God gives more grace when we humble ourselves and call sin what it is.

Visible Faith

Works in no way contribute to a person’s salvation. We are saved by faith, not by works. However, saving faith will produce works.

In this week’s passage, we see why James and Paul were pitted against one another. Are we saved by faith alone as Paul said, or are we saved by faith along with works? The answer is that we are saved by faith alone, but there is no such thing as faith that is alone. In other words, real faith will always lead to life change in the believer. This passage concludes two chapters of tests of faith that James provided to his church. He very much wanted to ensure they had genuine faith! Do you have genuine faith? Do you have life-changing faith?

You’re Not Enough (and That’s Sorta the Point)

Moms have a difficult job; one for which they are simply not enough…and that’s sorta the point. Moms need Jesus and Jesus offers peace that surpasses understanding!

We live in a culture that tries to convince moms they can be enough if they’d buy X product or subscribe Y blog or if they’d look deep within and discover their true selves. But the reality that every mom already knows is they are not enough. And that’s sorta the point. God uses moms weaknesses to draw them to Himself in personal relationship. Perhaps no passage conveys this as succinctly as Philippians 4:6-7. Moms, you need Jesus and Jesus offers peace that surpasses understanding!

Promised Home

Jesus left His disciples, but in doing so He went to prepare a place for us. If He went to prepare a place, He will return to bring us to that place.

In the final sermon of our three-part series, “Promise of Easter” we’re exploring the promise Jesus made to His disciples that He would come back to get them and bring to the place He is going away to prepare for them. Because Jesus fulfilled two other promises, namely to crush Satan’s head (Genesis 3:15) and to send the Helper, the Holy Spirit (John 16), we are confident Jesus will fulfill this promise, too! He is preparing for a place to dwell with Him and the Father forever. Those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life have nothing but eternal joy and fellowship with Jesus awaiting them. Jesus invites all who thirst for righteousness to drink of the water of life without payment. The only question remaining is are you thirsty?

Promised Helper

It was devastating for the disciples to see Jesus go, but it was necessary for Him to send the Holy Spirit to us.

I cannot imagine the pain and uncertainty the disciples experienced when Jesus ascended to Heaven after His resurrection. Knowing they would face these feelings, Jesus prepared the disciples before His crucifixion. He told them it was necessary for Him to go away and send the promised helper, the Holy Spirit. It was actually to their advantage that He go away and send the Helper, Jesus said. The Holy Spirit is with us now, dwelling within every born-again believer. He does so much to encourage, equip, protect, and guide the lives of His people. Thank you, Jesus, for fulfilling not only the Genesis 3:15 promise, but also the promise to send the Helper.

Promise Fulfilled

If Jesus was not raised from the dead, this is all pointless. But in fact, He was!

If Jesus was not raised from the dead, our faith is in vain and we are still in our sins. We are of all people most to be pitied! But in fact, Jesus was raised from the dead! He not only disappeared from the tomb, He appeared to hundreds of people. Those people then gave their lives defending what they saw with their own eyes – Jesus lives!
