In this powerful exploration of wisdom, we uncover the stark contrast between worldly and godly wisdom. We're challenged to examine our hearts and actions, recognizing that true wisdom is reflected in our conduct. The scripture reminds us that wisdom from above is pure, peaceable, and full of good fruits, while earthly wisdom leads to disorder and selfish ambition. Are our lives marked by the peace and gentleness of godly wisdom, or the chaos of worldly pursuits?

This morning we are beginning a new series in the Book of James. If you have a Bible please find and mark this book - we are going to be here for a little while.
