The Book of James teaches us to put our trials and hardships into the joy column of life. But how do we practically do that? James tells us that as well. In this message we do a quick introduction to the Book of James and then dive right into the opening verses of James 1:2-4.

James says that if we lack wisdom, we should ask for it. But what does James mean by wisdom? It's not what you might expect. In this message we dove into James 1:5-8 and saw how those verses relate to last weeks text on putting our trials into the joy column of life.

In this message we finally get to chapter two of James! James 2:1-13 says we should not show personal favoritism. Who would disagree with that? But James says it with such force and emotion. Why? Why is this such a big deal and what is the real heart of the matter? Find out this teaching.

Paul said in Romans 3 that we are justified by faith apart from works. But James in our sermon text this Sunday says a person is justified by works and not by faith alone. In this message we discover how James and Paul are really in complete agreement with each other.

Here's an irony for you. The last few weeks we've been looking at James chapter 2 where the message is, "It's not so much what you say that matters but what you do!" In this teaching we move into chapter three where the message is, "But what you say does matter!" In this sermon we look at the power of words to direct the course of a life, to bless people, to damage people, to reveal what's inside, and to heal.

Quarrels and conflicts. They are all around us and in the news each week. It's a serious problem in our culture today. In this message we explore James 4:1-12 where James tells us where our conflicts come from along with the secret to putting an end to them.

In the message we enter into the final chapter of James and the first six verses are a blistering indictment upon the "rich"! Well... lest you get comfortable, by the world's standards... you are one of these "rich". In this message we'll see how Scripture (and James) teaches it's no sin to be rich. But James does identify three abuses of wealth and so it's a warning to all of us. But he also gives us the solution in the second half of our text.
