In this sermon, we took an overview of the book of James, recognizing that God has given us wisdom from above. Yet, it's so easy for us to live accordingly to earthly wisdom. May we have the wisdom to keep walking by faith, with our actions lining up with our faith.

From James 5:13-20. This passage reminds us to pray - it covers a wide variety of topics and urges us to go to God in prayer. While it seems obvious to say we should pray, it's also very easy to overlook prayer in daily life.

From James 5:1-12. It's so easy to walk around thinking only about the things of this life. But we are called to live in light of eternity. Remembering the second coming of Jesus has a way of helping us live rightly today.

From James 4:11-17. James has a lot to say about our tongues. Too often, we don't use them well. In this passage, we'll look at how we shouldn't slander, judge, boast or brag. God gave us tongues so we could build others up and praise him.

From James 4:1-10. We live in a battle - this passage uses lots of war terms. We are to choose wisely which side we are on. We are not to live for our own desires, waging war like the world around us. We are to submit to God, drawing near to him.

From James 3:13-18. God gives wisdom to those who seek him. But there's a different kind of wisdom we could learn - the wrong kind. Let's make sure we're seeking God and not following the ways of the world, the flesh or the devil.

From James 3:1-12. In the previous section, we saw that our faith is supposed to show itself in good works. In this section, we see that our words should be good, too. It's too easy to use our tongues for evil. Let's use them to honor God and build others up!

From James 2:14-26. Are we supposed to have faith or good deeds? Both! If we only say we have faith, but don't do anything to show our faith, James says that kind of faith is dead and useless. Let's demonstrate our faith with good works.

From James 2:1-13. For those of us who know the mercy of God, we should show his mercy to others. We are commanded to love our neighbor as ourselves. We should learn to treat people with mercy.
