Do Not Hate One Another
How do we consider one another? Hebrews 10:24-25 tells us that we should seek to stimulate one another to love and good deeds! In Titus 3:3 Paul writes to let us know that we should not live as we once did before we obeyed Christ. Our condition before God’s grace is one of disobedience and hate.

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”

The Gospel In One Verse – Mark 10:45
We will never out grow our need for the gospel! Jesus came to preach the gospel and He is our gospel that we preach. The gospel is the power to save us from our sins! For the gospel is the good news of salvation for sinful man through Christ for the glory of God! - Aug 3, 2014Jesus Tender Invitation
Jesus Tender Invitation
God created mankind as spiritual beings made in His image. At one time Adam communed with God in the Garden of Eden and all was in harmony for the world and man. However in Genesis 3 Adam sinned and fell from grace dying spiritually. Each one us was made to commune with God but sin separates us from what our heart needs. We are driven to satisfy that hunger and as long as we apart from God we will never be satisfied. But God being rich in mercy because of His love (Ephesians 2:1-5) sent Jesus to bring us back from being dead in sin to being alive with Christ. God understands our every need and Jesus is inviting us to come and find life and peace… - Aug 3, 2014How To Practice The Truth
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.

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 20, 2014Equipped To Give

Which Side Will You Be On? – Matthew 25
Are you on the right side of Jesus? Are your prepared to show Jesus on the judgment day your deeds done in righteousness? In Matthew 25:31-46 Jesus makes it crystal clear the picture of what it will be like at His final coming and of the lives of those He considers worthy to enter the kingdom. It is not measured by how much we know but how we applied the will of God… - Jul 6, 2014Practice The Word – James 1:19-27 Part 2

Many of us mark our bibles but do our bibles ever mark us? In order to grow and mature in Christ we must look into the mirror of God’s Word and not only hear what it says but to practice the picture of Jesus that is being reflected…
