This morning we’re going to start a series studying the book of James. We’ll start in James 1 and work our way through the whole book. The book of James was written by James the half brother of Jesus (see Matthew 13:55 and Gal. 1:9 ). He was a firsthand witness of the sinless life of Jesus. It’s pretty…

Good morning! Again I want to welcome our guests and families that have come in to town today to celebrate and remember that there is in fact an empty tomb.

Have you ever had something happen to you in which you responded, “That just ain’t right!” We all have. But nobody quite understands injustice like Archie Williams.

Intro As we close out this chapter this morning, we are really continuing on from where we began last week.

22 But don’t just listen to God’s word. You must do what it says. Otherwise, you are only fooling yourselves. 23 For if you listen to the word and don’t obey, it is like glancing at your face in a mirror. 24 You see yourself, walk away, and forget what you look like. 27 So God created human beings in…

14 May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be pleasing to you, O Lord , my rock and my redeemer. 17 With the Lord’s authority I say this: Live no longer as the Gentiles do, for they are hopelessly confused. 18 Their minds are full of darkness; they wander far from the life God gives…
