In today’s episode we will be covering the entirety of James chapter 3 discussing the influence of our words. Our words have the power to build up or tear down and ultimately what’s in our hearts will be reflected in our words.

If our hearts are full of envy, bitterness or strife we’ll be talking about people or engaging in conversations that do not edify the Lord or our churches but if our hearts are full of love and if we are seeking biblical wisdom our conversations will be pure and honest and uplifting to one another.

Think about how you’re using your words and the conversations you are engaging in - Remember Paul likens our tongues to a raging fire just one word or one wrong conversation and you can cause damage that is unrepairable. In the same sense one word or conversation can spark a revival, a word of encouragement can pull a friend out of the pit and an honest conversation could save a persons soul. Are you choosing to speak life with your words or are you causing destruction? After all God has called us to build bridges not walls!

Happy Tuesday PWG Fam! We are excited to be wrapping up chapter 2 of James today specifically looking at verses 14-26. In this chapter James is conveying the importance of works in your life if you are a saved Christian.

So many people take verses within this chapter out of context to back up their need for a “works based” salvation but it’s important to note the context of the entire book of James. We mentioned this in the first episode in this series but James is writing this entire book to the church, in other words to saved Christians. This entire book is about Christian practices so he’s not trying to convert people to Christianity he’s trying to teach saved Christians what should be evident in their life if they have truly trusted Jesus as their personal Lord and Savior.

In writing to the saved Christian James is saying if you have true faith, true saving faith, works will be evident in your life. In other words you will be serving the Lord and there will be fruits of your labor.

Listen now for the full teaching you don’t want to miss this one! Remember if you’re enjoying the podcast share with your family and friends and leave us a 5 star review wherever you listen.

God Bless from Our Hearts to Yours,

Have you known people that just hang around certain people for the status or notoriety it gives them? What about at church, have certain members been treated differently than others because of their societal status? Showing favoritism to some while neglecting others has been an issue since the beginning of time and it’s what James will be addressing in the lesson we are teaching today.

We will be diving into chapter 2 today looking at verses 1-12. We have all been guilty of showing favoritism from time to time but we hope by the end of this lesson that you’ll realize we are all just sinners saved by grace. Nobody is above anybody else and while we may differ in our economic status, race, social position etc. we all have common ground when it comes to the gospel!

Let’s all start living out the 2 greatest commandments that have been given to us:  Love the Lord with all your heart, soul and mind and love your neighbor as yourself.

We hope you enjoy this episode and thank you for supporting us and the podcast! Remember to share with your family and friends!

God Bless from Our Hearts to Yours,

Today we’re going to be looking at what temptations are, where they come from and how we’re tempted. Just as trials have no respect of persons temptations will also come to everyone which is why it’s so important to be spiritually prepared at all times.

The most important thing to remember in this lesson is that God will never tempt you with sin. While temptation is the devil’s playground how we respond to temptation is a personal choice that we make on our own. It’s easy to blame others for the sin in our life but we must remember we have our own free will and we are ultimately responsible for every decision we make.

We hope this lesson is an encouragement to you to stay close to the Lord at all times so when the devil comes seeking to devour, you’re able to withstand his temptations.

God Bless from Our Hearts to Yours,

Ashlee & Tabitha

We are diving right in to James chapter 1 today and if we’re honest it was not the easiest lesson to study or teach. James throws a hard word straight out of the gate in verse 2 as he tells us to count it all joy when we face trials. As you know trials are never joyous but as we’ll learn today God uses them to mold, shape and mature our faith.

Listen now to learn more on trials, what it means to count them all joy, why we go through them and so much more!

We hope you learn something about James that you didn’t know and it will help prepare your mind for when we dive into the first chapter next week. Buckle up though it’s going to be a wild ride!
