James begins chapter five, his closing section, with a warning to the rich and instruction for the church to respond to the injustices of poverty and wealth without integrity. At the center of this discussion is one defining truth: “the Lord’s coming is near.” This marks the thirteenth installment in our verse-by-verse journey through the book of James.

Psalm 8 is a well-known passage of Scripture that raises one of the most profound philosophical questions about humanity: What is man, and why does the God of the universe think of him or care for him? This message reflects on Psalm 8 and the depth of this timeless question.

The well-known verse that says, “If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” is found in James chapter four.

This message explores the verse within its proper setting as we continue our journey through the book of James, studying it verse by verse.

Insecurity is choking the life and purpose out of believers. This message explores how God sees us and what that means for our role as those who desire to do His will. When we gain His perspective, we can't help but be empowered to do what He has called us to do.

One of the challenging questions in our Christian faith is the issue of judging others. Are we supposed to judge others? Or are we not? If we are, when should we do it, how should we go about it, and by what standard? There are so many questions—and people seem able to find Scripture to support a wide range of answers. This sermon seeks to bring clarity to the confusion surrounding this important topic.

James sets his sights on the sin of pride and instructs the church on how God views it, as well as how we are to humble ourselves. This section of James is essential for all Christians, regardless of spiritual maturity. We must take seriously the issue of pride within the church.
