Many important facets make up Biblical Wisdom. One of these is mercy. As Pastor Phil just explained, to be merciful to others is to show them the same grace that God has shown you. How do you fare when the time comes to show mercy? Are you a natural, or does it pain you? What does that say about your Biblical Wisdom today?

Did you catch that? Anybody who has wisdom will hate evil and live righteously! This raises an interesting question: Do you have wisdom? To answer such a query, one must know what the Bible says wisdom is; luckily, you're in the right place! Because in today's message, that's just what Pastor Phil intends to teach us!  

What inspires and directs your actions and words? Is it your reason? Is it the approval of others? In today’s message, as Pastor Mckay continues our study of the book of James, we’ll be reminded that Jesus is the source of living water and true life. Let Him be your guide and provide strength and wisdom for your daily life.

What are you using your speech for? Are you speaking life and grace into the lives of the people around you or condemnation? What are you telling your own heart? Today, Pastor Mckay will remind us of the power of our tongues – such a small part of our body, yet incredibly influential in our world.

When you look at the people around you, do you judge them based on their outward appearance or performance? Or do you look at them as living creations of our loving God? As Pastor Mckay will remind us today, we need to look past the external and see the intrinsic, God-given value that every human holds.

All people should feel welcomed when they come into the doors of a church or when they interact with believers outside of its walls. This doesn’t mean we turn blind eyes to sin, but as Pastor Mckay will remind us today, it means we humbly approach them with grace and kindness, just as our Savior demonstrated towards us.

Mirrors reveal what you truly look like. But, if you only glance at it, you don’t get a true sense of yourself. God’s word is a mirror as well. It reveals your true soul character. And if you walk away, not recognizing you need to change, as Pastor Phil teaches today, you’ll never grow as a believer. Allow God’s word to reach into you and make you better!

Anger seems to bubble just under the surface for most people these days. And whether it’s disrespectful kids or a rotten driver on the road, your anger may just erupt at any moment. Today, Pastor Phil will challenge you to deal with the issue of anger. Don’t let it control you. You’re a child of God, and thus shouldn’t be out of control in this way.

Sometimes, people will blame God for their sins, or accuse God of making them sinful. However, as Pastor Phil will explain today, God would never create sin in a person, nor does He cause them or tempt anyone to sin. Sin in you is because you live in a fallen world. And God wants to save you and rescue you from it!

If you consider yourself a Christian, yet your faith wavers, and is divided, you won’t stand firm on Christ in the trials that will come in life. Today, Pastor Phil challenged you, believer, to pray to believe and trust that God will work. Don’t waiver in your faith when things are difficult. Stand firm in the promises of God and don’t lose heart!
