Correcting our Perspective on Partiality

James 2:2-7 Today we come to a section that would maybe be a little odd normally for a one-off sermon, but it is in the kind providence of God, it actually fits quite nicely with where Travis was last week at the end of Luke 20 and the beginning of Luke 21, in that excellent sermon that you should go listen to if you have not heard it yet. But if you remember, last week Travis talked about in his…

The Gospel Rebukes our Sinful Partiality

James 2:1 If you’d open your Bibles to James chapter 2, James chapter 2, today we’re going to begin to make our way into the main body of the letter of James by looking at the first verse in James chapter 2. So up to this point in the book of James, we’ve spent quite a bit of time going through what most understand to be the introduction of James, verses 1-18 of chapter 1. They kind of serve to…

Rightly Practicing the Word

James 1:26-27 Well, so we’re gonna be in James chapter 1, the last two verses, verses 26 through 27, continuing in our study through the book of James. Today we come to the end of chapter 1. We’re in that final, the final section that I kinda laid out, the final, the kinda concluding section of verses 19 through 27. It’s a section which kinda works together as, as an appropriate, uh, conclusion to the introduction of the book in…

Rightly Responding to the Word

James 1:22-25 Turn in your Bibles to James 1, as we are almost through with the first chapter. Today we’re going to be looking specifically at one of the more famous portions of the entire book, verses 22-25. And as we have gone through this chapter, we’ve drawn attention to the various linking words and clever ways that James has linked verses and ideas together. The reason we’ve drawn attention to that is so that we can be confident that…

Rightly Receiving the Word

James 1:19-21 If you would open your Bibles to the first chapter of the book of James, that’s where we’re going to be this morning. This week and next week really does flow well out of what, what Bret was talking about, the end of Psalm 19 last week. So it’ll be good for us. And in, in preparation, trying to get to the communion service on time, I just shredded up my introduction really small for you all. So…

Comfort in the Character of a Giving God

James 1:16-18Our sermon again today is going to be in the book of James, James, chapter 1. But we once again turn to the book of James and we continue to look at the first chapter, which as we have said before, needs to be seen in the context of trials. It’s a context of trials throughout the entirety of chapter 1. We’ve already talked at length about God’s good intention for the believer in trials, as, as we have…

Understanding Temptation for Our Sanctification

James 1:13-15 If you would turn in your Bible to James, the book of James, we will be continuing on in our study of the book of James. We’re still in chapter 1. Today we’re gonna look at verses 13 through 15. Verses 13 through 15 of James chapter 1. And as we do that, we do need to once again remind ourselves about the context in which James is a delivering this letter. James is speaking to a group…

The Hope of the Blessed in Trying Times

James 1:12 We are this morning, continuing on through the book of James. That’s, that’s where I’m at when I’m up here, James chapter one and today we’re just going to be looking at verse 12. So not making a ton of progress through the book of James, but we are getting through it, nonetheless. James 1:12 and in this morning’s text is really a promise for believers, it really is for a the encouragement of believers. So, as we…
