James gets very detailed describing the difference between earthly wisdom and Godly wisdom. We can look at our lives and be able to see quickly which we are being led by.

There is a difference between wisdom and knowledge. One provides contentment and one can cause boasting, envy, jealousy, and selfish ambition. This podcast will discuss the difference.

James gives some illustrations showing that our fruit will show our roots. Too many people are Christian and not Christ-followers. What does that mean? That’s what this podcast discusses.

Do you know people who seem to bless God one moment then be judgmental of people the next? I think we all do. But have you thought if that describes you? That’s what today’s podcast looks at.

How can something that is considered untamable be tamed? That’s what this podcast will look at when James is talking about the tongue.

James will show how that our tongue does more damage to us than to others. We often think our words do damage to others, and they do, but our tongue through pride can do significant damage to our own lives.

James begins a section that will discuss the power of the tongue. In this podcast we look at how much our words matter when we communicate, especially in teaching and preaching. We look at using the Word as a hammer and also how many use their words to manipulate people to make a spiritual decision.

In James chapter 3, he is now going to move into controlling the tongue. He starts with looking at those put into positions of teaching. Too often we just put in warm bodies to fill positions within the church rather than making sure they are called and qualified.

Is Jesus enough? Or do you need the things Jesus can give? This is the question that we dive into today concerning faith and works from James.
