This is one of THE MOST ENCOURAGING PASSAGES I have exposited from God’s Word; James 5:7-11. The treasure of this text is that it instructs all of us what to do when we experience the DARK DAYS of hardship, rejection, and PAINFUL WAITING.

We have finally reached chapter 5 of James and it is a rich one. This week, we will expose the wicked wealthy, those church attenders who were oppressing poor believers and making life hard. The passage teaches us about who are the wealthy, what we should do with our money and so much more.

Kindness is a heart attitude, a tender concern for others, created by the Holy Spirit. Goodness is kindness in action, empowered by the Holy Spirit.

Pastor ALEX MONTOYA is joining us for both services (as he does every year In March) to exposit God’s Word

Jon Elliff, pastor of Makakilo Baptist Church in Oahu, preaching on the Firm Foundation of God’s Word.

We will continue in James 4:13-17 and the test of dependence upon God’s WILL. Do you walk through life without trusting in the Lord, depending on Him, praying to him, conditioning your decisions with his sovereignty and trusting in His Word to guide you in all you do? Then this Sunday is for you to NOT walk through life BLIND, but dependent upon God’s Will.

We will continue in James 4:11-12 and study the next paragraph in the pointed epistle, as the half-brother of our Lord addresses the SICK SIN OF SLANDER. The world will CANCEL you but what does the Bible direct believers to do concerning our comments about others? Come this Sunday and have your eyes opened to God’s Heart.

James 4:7-10 is a massively misunderstood yet powerful WORD from God to us on calling someone to TURN TO CHRIST! You will not want to miss this Sunday, let this truth wash over you and use this truth to impact others!

We are in Christ. We are the privileged ones who have the deep sense that this joy is not about our circumstances, it is our position in Christ.

James 4:1-6 contains a strong charge to stop being friends with the WORLD, including one the toughest verses in the NT to interpret: verse 5.
