Responding to God's Word
In James 2:19-27 we learn that we are to respond to the mirror of God's word. Those who listen to the word intently, respond by doing what it says. Those who hear the word and do nothing, James describes their religion as worthless. In this message guest speaker Richard J. Sharp asks the vital question are you responding to God's Word.

Follow Me (AM)
Adam preaches Matthew 4:18-22. As Messiah, Jesus issued a reasonable call to the men who would become His closest followers. Immediately the two groups of brothers responded, an appropriate reaction to the words of the One who had already been proven as the Messiah.

Submit to God James 4:7-10
We must submit to God and resist the devil. If we do, the devil will flee (literally run the other way!) from us. God is more interested in humility and real brokeness that comes from seeing him for who he is then a false happiness. If we humble ourselves, God will lift us up.

Soul Prosperity
We need to live in God’s righteousness, peace and joy on the inside all the time, not just cry out to God for it when we are in a crisis. Our soul is prospering when we are walking in step with Holy Spirit.

Lifeguard On Duty?
It's a scary scene. A little boy ventures near shallow water alone. Water splashes around his ankles and tempts him our further. He knows little about surging waves, strong currents and powerful undertows. Where is a lifeguard?

Money Talks
When people say "money talks" they often mean money can buy influence or bribe indifference. But there is another way that money talks. According to James, money talks to God. What is your money saying to God about you?

Role Reversal
In Mark Twain's, The Prince and the Pauper, two men agree to role reversal: a pauper rules over a prince; a prince serves a pauper. In your relationship with God, one of you is a prince and one of you is a pauper. Which are you?

James 5:10-20
10 For examples of patience in suffering, dear brothers and sisters, look at the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 11 We give great honor to those who endure under suffering. For instance, you know about Job, a man of great endurance. You can see how the Lord was kind to him at the end, for the Lord is full of tenderness and mercy. 12 But most of all, my brothers and sisters, never take an oath, by heaven or earth or anything else. Just say a simple yes or no, so that you will not sin and be condemned. The Power of Prayer 13 Are any of you suffering hardships? You should pray. Are any of you happy? You should sing praises. 14 Are any of you sick? You should call for the elders of the church to come and pray over you, anointing you with oil in the name of the Lord. 15 Such a prayer offered in faith will heal the sick, and the Lord will make you well. And if you have committed any sins, you will be forgiven. 16 Confess your sins to each other and pray for each other so that you may be healed. The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results. 17 Elijah was as human as we are, and yet when he prayed earnestly that no rain would fall, none fell for three and a half years! 18 Then, when he prayed again, the sky sent down rain and the earth began to yield its crops. Restore Wandering Believers 19 My dear brothers and sisters, if someone among you wanders away from the truth and is brought back, 20 you can be sure that whoever brings the sinner back will save that person from death and bring about the forgiveness of many sins.

Winning the War Within
One of the greatest tools of the Enemy to discredit the testimony of the gospel in the world is the dissension, fighting, and wars that occur within the community of believers. Today we hope to expose the root of those wars and find a solution to them.

James 5:1-9
There is a downward pull to the Gospel- it’s the same downward pull that brought Jesus to a dirty, dusty, barren place like Nazareth, and it’s the same downward pull that should move us into action. God gives us what he gives us for a reason. Don’t feel guilty about having a good job and earning good money. Feel guilty if you fail to use it wisely. Those who truly get the Gospel feel it’s downward pull and find that being like Jesus isn’t just about morality- though that’s part, or ethics, though that’s part. It’s not just about being nice and playing by the rules, or about getting my spiritual needs met. It’s about participating in God’s redemptive plan in the world- living in such a way that we see more and more people in relationship with Jesus and more and more people experiencing the justice and peace in whatever way possible, even limited or temporary that ultimately will come when Jesus Himself returns.

Who's The Wise Guy?
There are guys who are wise and then there are wise guys. One is positive and the other is negative. One actually is wise, but the other only acts wise. One helps people, but the other often harasses people. Which are you?

James 3:1-12
1 Dear brothers and sisters,[a] not many of you should become teachers in the church, for we who teach will be judged more strictly. 2 Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way. 3 We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth. 4 And a small rudder makes a huge ship turn wherever the pilot chooses to go, even though the winds are strong. 5 In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches. But a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. 6 And the tongue is a flame of fire. It is a whole world of wickedness, corrupting your entire body. It can set your whole life on fire, for it is set on fire by hell itself.[b] 7 People can tame all kinds of animals, birds, reptiles, and fish, 8 but no one can tame the tongue. It is restless and evil, full of deadly poison. 9 Sometimes it praises our Lord and Father, and sometimes it curses those who have been made in the image of God. 10 And so blessing and cursing come pouring out of the same mouth. Surely, my brothers and sisters, this is not right! 11 Does a spring of water bubble out with both fresh water and bitter water? 12 Does a fig tree produce olives, or a grapevine produce figs? No, and you can’t draw fresh water from a salty spring.[c]

James 2:14-26
Recognize that God, out of His riches, gave to you in your poverty and so do the same for others. Don’t show that you have no understanding of the Good News by not living it out, where you can, as you can, with the needs and situations God puts right in front of you.

James 1:1-4
The book of James starts with a difficult passage, one that seems paradoxical. Joy coming from suffering seems very strange and impossible to most of us today, but perhaps James is pointing to suffering joy in a different way than you and I often do.

Managing Emotions
Our emotions are a gift from God. Expressed in a proper manner, emotions make life beautiful, rich, full, eliminate monotony and contribute much to both the enjoyment and effectiveness of living. Negative emotions can also be responsible for some of the greatest tragedies in life. Whether our lives are meaningful or miserable may be directly related to the health of our emotions.

Managing Contentment
In our expository sermon series taken from the book of James, one would think that considering the hopelessness of the situation, to "be outraged" or to "give up in despair" would be the next normal response. However, both giving in to the world and attacking the world are wrong. In today's message James spends the next six verses explaining to us how to manage contentment in a complex world.

Managing Priorities
Money has a dehumanizing function of measuring value, and it therefore leads people to pursue the goal of having instead of being. Jesus reveals money as power. Power also has great spiritual value, so money and wealth can be used for great good or for evil. This is one of the most "in your face" scriptures in the New Testament about the consequences of wrong priorities.
