Faith That Works: The Tale of Two Wisdoms (13-20)

How can you tell if something is wise or not? Well, James points to the qualities of God’s wisdom and the destruction that results from human plans – even if they sound smart. 

(James 3:13-18)

Faith That Works: Taming the Tongue (12-20)

It's so interesting what James has to say about the wildness of our speech... Dogs can be trained but tongues can’t! But even an untamed tongue will be righteous when the heart is pure. 

(James 3:7-12)

Faith That Works – The Power of the Tongue (11-20)

We're continuing our series this week Faith that works with Bible Teacher John Neufeld...

Ship rudders. Horses’ bit. Human tongues... all singular items but they all have a dramatic effect and powerful impact.

(James 3:1-6)

Faith that Works: Marks of a Living and Dead Faith (10-20)

Today we wrap-up week 2 of our 4-week series in the book of James called: Faith that works,  

Genuine faith is manifest beyond our confessions – it is seen in our deeds.  

(James 2:15-26)

Faith that Works: Faith that Works (09-20)

What is the relationship between our faith and our works? Are these in polarized tension? James says, “No.” Faith and works pull in the same direction. 

(James 2:12-17)

Faith that Works: Genuine Faith Loves Genuinely (08-20)

When a window breaks, it breaks all the way. The whole is distorted by even a minor fracture. That is true of God’s law as well. So, when we love and obey, we should do it wholly and sincerely. 

(James 2:8-13)

Faith that Works: Genuine Faith and the Poor (07-20)

God doesn’t play favourites – but we do. James calls us to a practice of faith which embraces all people – regardless of external appearances. 

(James 2:1-7)

Faith that Works: Doing the Word (06-20)

Today we head into our 2nd week of our 4-week study of Christian wisdom, have you ever forgotten what you looked like? Well James points to that danger if we hear God’s Word but do not obey it. 

(James 1:22-27)

Faith that Works: Hearing the Word (05-20)

As we wrap up week one of our three-week series entitled Faith that works... To listen well is a life skill. It is also a skill to develop with God. James teaches us how to hear God well. It is a lesson of the heart, not just our ears. 

(James 1:19-21)

Faith that Works: Good Gifts (04-20)

The Bible reminds us that God only gives what is good. We may not easily recognize goodness in each gift, but we live with this confidence – the goodness of God does not change. In fact, we experience His grace every day.

(James 1:12-18)
