The Power of the Word
19/05/2024 Duração: 45minThe Word of God is “full of living power,” wrote the author of Hebrews (4:12, TLB). It has the power to change a life completely and for eternity. James has been telling us that God gives good gifts and the first is the gift of salvation! But that is just the beginning. After birth comes growth, and the theme of this book is spiritual maturity. The primary agent for spiritual maturity is God’s Word. But unless we listen to it and allow it to work in us, it will never have its intended impact.

The Temptations We Face
12/05/2024 Duração: 52minIt’s one thing to be tested on the outside (trials); it’s another thing to be tested on the inside (temptation). God may allow temptations in order to strengthen our faith. But Satan desires to tempt us to weaken our faith. In C. S. Lewis’s classic book The Screwtape Letters, a senior demon wrote to a trainee, saying, “All the habits of the [Christian], both mental and bodily, are still in our favor.” Today, we consider how temptation works and find workable solutions to overcome it.I. The Source of Temptation (vv. 13-14)II. The Course of Temptation (vv. 14-15)III. Our Resource in Temptation (vv. 16-18)Talk with God: Ask the Holy Spirit which areas of your faith need to be shored up and strengthened.Talk with others: With your Connect Group, discuss some practical things you can implement in your daily life to avoid common temptations.Talk with kids: Who is the Holy Spirit?

The Trials of the Rich and Poor
05/05/2024 Duração: 42minAn old English children’s game followed the poem “Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Sailor, Rich Man, Poor Man, Beggar Man, Thief.” In the game, kids would try to determine what they would become later in life. Whether we become rich or poor, one thing is common to all—hardship. Trials are the great equalizer, bringing all of God’s children to depend on Him. James, with barefaced practicality, looked at the advantages of suffering for both the poor man and the rich man.I. Our World Is Divided (vv. 9-12)II. Our Outlook Is Delightful (vv. 9-10)III. Our Materialism Is Doomed (vv. 10-11)IV. Our Future Is Dependent (v. 12)Talk with God: Reflect on your typical reaction to trials. Ask the Lord to change your perspective so depending on Him becomes your instinctual reaction.Talk with others: Ask an unbelieving friend or family member how you can help them through a tough situation in their life.Talk with kids: How do we make disciples? Why is it important to make disciples?

Trials Could Be Transformational (vv. 3-4)IV.

James, the Adult in the Room
21/04/2024 Duração: 49minYou’ve probably been in a situation where there was confusion, even pandemonium, and most people were acting like immature children. What was needed was just one person to act like an adult and bring decorum and civility back. In such situations, one might say, “Where is the adult in the room?” It refers to someone who will behave responsibly in a mature manner. The book of James is about spiritual maturity. It is a call to grow up and not just grow old. James was the adult in the room.I. The Author “James”II. The Autobiography “a bondservant of God and of…Jesus Christ”III. The Audience “To the twelve tribes…scattered abroad”IV. The Address “Greetings”Talk with God: Reflect on your spiritual growth journey and ask the Lord to show you where He wants to grow you.Talk with others: Ask a trusted believer or mentor to hold you accountable in working toward growth in a specific area of your walk.Talk with kids: What do you believe to be true about God, even though you haven’t seen Him?

Into the Ground
29/03/2024 Duração: 42minPeople either misunderstand the cross or they don't know its purpose and significance. Some think it's a tragic mistake or just a trivial symbol. When it came to the Messiah, the Jews anticipated a conqueror—instead, they got a sin bearer. Through the cross, Jesus glorified the Father and paid the price for our sins. Instead of shying away from it, we choose to celebrate the cross.

Good, Better, Best
24/03/2024 Duração: 49minToday we are entering into Passion Week—commemorating Jesus’ final days leading up to the cross, His burial, and His resurrection. We are all familiar with these events. As Jesus came into the city of Jerusalem, the crowd placed palm branches on the ground. In a few days, Jesus would be crucified, and they would place His body in the ground. But three days later, He would rise from the ground. Let’s note three comparisons of things that may be good versus something that’s best.

In the Room—We Give
10/03/2024 Duração: 43minIn order to discover what Jesus intended for the church He came to establish (remember He said, “I will build My church”), we need to examine carefully the prototype—the first church in the book of Acts. In combing through this text the last few weeks, we have been able to get a sense of the style, structure, and service of the early church. Today we notice their generous hearts toward one another and in the cause of Christ. Because they were openhearted, they were also openhanded.
