James 5.19-20: Wandering and Finding
01/17/10
Sam Ford
We cannot follow the commands of God, through James, without being in community.
James 5.7-11 Suffering and Waiting
12/27/09
Sam Ford
James challenges us to be patiently faithful like a farmer. We work, then we wait for the harvest. And we trust God, no matter what the harvest looks like.
James 5.1-6 Defrauding and Indulging
12/20/09
Sam Ford
All that we have is a gift from God and to be used for His glory. The proper use of our wealth is a confession of the truth or falsehood of our belief in the gospel.
James 3.13-4.3 Above and Below
11/22/09
Sam Ford
James writes to "talkers" telling them to stop because they aren't saying anything wise. Instead, he encourages his listeners to pray.
James 3.1-12: Taming and Staining
11/15/09
Sam Ford
The tongue must be bridled toward speaking the gospel, not silenced, and not allowed to sin.
James 2.14-26: Faith and Works
11/08/09
Sam Ford
Faith without works (faith that does not by nature move one to action) is not good enough to save or bless anyone.
James 2.1-13 Sitting and Standing
11/01/09
Sam Ford
The sin of partiality is the very antithesis of the gospel.
James 1.19-21: Quick and Slow
10/18/09
Sam Ford
Be quick to hear GOD, be slow to speak to GOD, and be slow to ANGER with God. We get angry because things do not go the way we think they should. We ignore what God has said and deny that our situation is fair, right, or good. God wants us to put off our pride to be in control and, with humility, ,admit we are not in control
James 1.12-18 Testing and Tempting
10/11/09
Sam Ford
With every trial comes a temptation, and that from within.
James 1.9-11 Riches and Poverty
10/04/09
Sam Ford
Money is an idol, worshiped in different ways by both the rich and the poor. Riches are a trial sent by God. Poverty are a trial sent by God.
James 1.5-8 Asking and Doubting
09/27/09
Sam Ford
James instructs us to pray for Wisdom in trials, not to get out of it, but that we might see how God is using it to grow and shape us to His glory.
James 1.2-4: Counting and Meeting
09/20/09
Sam Ford
James speaks to the various, multi-colored, trials we have in life. This sermon followed a men's retreat we had where the men were placed in the "fire" so to speak. The notes of the sermon may not match the audio.
