JEFF'S MIDWEEK BIBLE STUDY

What is wisdom, and how would you define it? Where does wisdom come from? Is wisdom the same thing as knowledge? We find the answers, and more, in James Ch. 3. Let's study God's Word together!

In every chapter of his epistle, James makes reference to the tongue, but it's in Ch. 3 that he really zeros in on how hard it is for all of us to control our words. Of course, the problem is not so much the tongue as it is the heart! Let's look now at what James has to say in this much needed exhortation.

In James Ch. 2, the writer tackles a growing problem in the church today - people who talk about their faith, without having any fruit or evidence for that faith in their lives. James argues that a saving faith is an active faith. Let's examine this important subject together now.

Did you know that favoritism or partiality is more than just a bad idea - it's a sin! James tells us why, and how serious of an issue it really is. Join us now for some important teaching from James Ch. 2.

Most of us have dealt with people who were all talk, and no action. But did you know that the Bible warns us as believers not to be that person when it comes to the Word of God? James warns against just being hearers of the Word, but not doers. Let's take a closer look at this important subject in James Ch. 1.

It was the British writer, Oscar Wilde who said, "I can resist anything, except temptation." That may be the world's attitude toward temptation, but Scripture has something quite different for us as believers. Let's align our attitude toward temptation with the Word of God in James 1.

In this podcast, we begin a series in the NT Epistle of James. James has a straight-forward way of helping us to align our attitudes Biblically, and on a variety of subjects - beginning with trials. Join us now as we begin this journey through James.

Everyone needs encouragement! There's even the spiritual gift of encouragement and exhortation. And no one in the NT embodied that spiritual gift quite like a man named Barnabas. His very name means "son of encouragement". Let's look together now at his life in the Book of Acts, where we too, will find encouragement.

Something that we don't often hear talked about, is the NT teachings on grieving and quenching the Holy Spirit. What does that even mean? In this podcast, we explore these NT warnings, in our series on the Holy Spirit.

What are the gifts of the Spirit? How do we receive them? How do we identity them? As we continue in our series on the Holy Spirit, we now come to the gifts of the Spirit. Let's look together at what the New Testament has to say on this important topic.
