If you’ve been with us recently, you know what an uncompromising and passionate preacher James was. This epistle contains some of the most challenging words in all of the bible. And today, as we continue in James chapter one, James will remind us that reading the bible and living what we read in the bible are two different things.

James is all about challenging us to be what we say we are. You’ve heard that little saying - “walking the walk and talking the talk”. That’s exactly what James has in mind. Do the words that come out of your mouth match the way you live your life?

The Bible is the best selling book of all time and has been translated into more languages than any other book - by a wide margin. In today’s study, pastor Jim takes us to James chapter one, where James urges us to be doers of the word. What does that mean? How can we put the word of God into action?

Again today we’ll be challenged by the uncompromising exhortations of James. It’s a fact that James’ teachings have caused some controversy over the years, but there shouldn’t be any controversy at all. Today, Jim will finish his look at James chapter one, verses sixteen through eighteen. He’s titled this message “The Goodness of God”. A lot of people today think of God as some kind of vindictive bully, but nothing could be further from the truth.

James was the first leader of the Christian church, and a very zealous teacher. Compromise was not a word he used. In chapter one of his epistle, we find more evidence of that fact. Today Jim will remind us again of the greatness of God. Are you ready to be challenged?

If there’s one concrete lesson to be learned in the second half of James chapter one, it’s the fact that there’s a huge difference between saying you’re a Christian and living a life that reflects that you’re a Christian. The things we say we believe should be put into action in the way we conduct our lives.. That’s a pretty hefty responsibility, but one we should always try to live up to. One way we can be doers of the word is to appreciate the greatness of God.

Pastor Jim Jarrett will once again lead us today in a study of James chapter one. James was the first leader of the Christian church, and a very zealous teacher. Compromise was not a word he used. In chapter one of his epistle, we find more evidence of that fact. Today Jim will remind us again of the greatness of God.
