Season 2 Episode 70

No one can tame the tongue. Even if you have the will power to cut off your own leg (to save your life) you may still have trouble filtering the words that come out of your mouth. 

Season 2 Episode 69

Have you ever taken a spiritual gift finder? Do you know where best to use your gifts? If you're curious, check out www.hosannalc.org and take the survey linked. I found it I'm exactly where I should be- teaching, preaching and ministry. However, know that God holds teachers of His word to a higher standard. Be careful what you're putting out there.

Season 2 Episode 76

A lesson in patience and endurance or a lesson in farming? Maybe both. James uses the analogy of farming and growing crops to believers waiting for the return of Jesus. There's not a lot we can do to speed things up. We must wait, not complaining. Everyone's got problems. Everyone suffers.  How you deal with it, in the waiting, is up to you.

Season 2 Episode 68

Faith without works is dead, but good works DO NOT affect your salvation. We are saved by grace alone. Period. There is literally nothing you can do or not do to to EARN your eternal salvation. Jesus paid it all. ALL. Rest in the grace knowing that your sins are forgiven. Hallelujah!

Season 2 Episode 67

Follow the Royal Law. It's Royal, because it came from the King- Jesus. Loving the rich man is great, but you don't get to choose not to love the poor man too. The Royal Law states that we are to love everyone. No picking and choosing. God isn't your personal consultant. He is LORD.

Season 2 Episode 66

Partiality and discrimination even in the family of God. Ever tried to make yourself look better than you actually are? Do you gravitate toward those who can do something for you? James warns against that. That is NEVER going to be what Jesus calls us to do.
* Oops- I misspoke. There's no book of Solomon in the Old Testament. I meant Samuel 🙈*

Season 2 Episode 65

Talk less. Smile more. Be quick to listen, slow to speak, and definitely be slow to get angry. The "religious" are judged for their actions and reactions. If you talk the talk but don't walk the walk, you are a hypocrite. 

Season 2 Episode 64

When you have trouble, and you WILL- know that your trials weren't given to you by God. But, trials can present an opportunity for faith refinement and joy. Joy? Yep, good can come from the things that try us. And when it's too much for us, we are to reach out to God.

Season 2  Episode 63

Today we discuss who James is, and who he isn't.

I hadn't seen my mom or dad in 15 months. It's been a LONG year for everyone. Here's my dad's story from this past year, and how his faith kept him grounded.
