How To Live Wisely
In the book of Proverbs, we are encouraged to seek after wisdom (Proverbs 3:13-18; 4:7-9). Likewise in the New Testament we are exhorted to walk in wisdom (Ephesians 5:15-17). But in James 3:13-18, we learn that there is more than one kind of wisdom. In this lesson we will look at the two different kinds of wisdom: “Heavenly Wisdom Vs. Earthly Wisdom”

How To Practice The Truth
Not only are the mature Christians patient in trials and testing (James 1) they also practices the truth. This is the theme of James 2 where immature people talk about their beliefs while the mature lives his/her faith. James wanted us to practice God’s word so he gave us a simple test as an example. There was two visitors to a church service one poor and the other rich. The way we treated them showed what we really believe about God. In this section James examines four basic doctrines in light of the way we treat people… - Jul 27, 2014How To Demonstrate Faith
How To Demonstrate Faith
Faith is a key element in the Christian life… Sinners are saved by faith (Ephesians 2:8-9), and the believer must walk by faith (2 Corinthians 5:7). Without faith it is impossible to please God (Hebrews 11:6) and whatever we do apart from faith is sin (Romans 14:23). James2:14-26 teaches the relationship between faith and works. This is important because if we are wrong in this matter we jeopardize our salvation! How can I tell if I have true saving faith? - Jul 6, 2014Practice The Word – James 1:19-27 Part 2

How To Weather Hardships?
Remember the bumper sticker: “When life hands you a lemon, make lemonade!” It is easier to smile at that statement than practice it. However it is true and biblical to turn our trials and defeats into triumph and victory. - May 11, 2014How To Identify Ourselves – James 1:1
How To Identify Ourselves – James 1:1
In our introductory study, we concluded that James was the Lord’s brother. If this is true it is interesting that James only identifies himself simply “a servant of God and of the Lord Jesus Christ” (1:1) Why would James and many other New Testament writers call themselves “servants”? Should we? - May 4, 2014Introduction To The Epistle James
Introduction To The Epistle James
Not everybody who grows old, grows up; there is a vast difference between AGE and MATURITY! Problems caused by immaturity hurts our personal lives, family lives and church lives perhaps more than anything else.
