Students from Elim Bible Institute and College, share their testimonies and heart for missions.

I Peter 2:1-12 lays out several identities we have in Christ--living stones, priests, kings--all of them works of grace and love. Hear what all those callings mean to us and how we can begin to act like who we really are.

This is the last of a series of messages on the Book of James, called "Reality Check." Today we discover a fact that every per​​son should know: We are utterly dependent upon God! In James 5 there are five windows that people can look through to see just how dependent on Him we are.

James 4 digs down deep into the reasons for divisions and contentions in the church. He also explains how these heart issues affect our prayers and our relationship with God. This sermon brings light and life to one of the most difficult-to-understand and misunderstood passages in the New Testament.

James 3:1-12 speaks about the incredible power of the tongue to cause damage. This sermon sheds light on that power--including the harmful effects of gossip--and encourages us to use the power of our tongues to share God's grace with the listener.

It's wrong to be partial to some people over others. That's what it says in the second chapter of the Book of James. But aren't we better than that? And if we're partial toward some and reject others, how would we know that? It has mega implications for everyone to see how this piece of Scripture applies to our lives!

[SORRY. THERE IS NO AUDIO RECORDING OF THIS SERMON]

Today begins a new Fall sermon series on the Book of James in the Bible. And this first message answers a universal question: how should I view hard times, trials, and what could they produce positively in my life? There's actually a formula in James 1 to help us in the midst of trials.

Good soil is essential to great gardens and crops. Jesus taught a parable or two regarding the importance of "soil" in the lives of people. So what makes the soil of your life good soil? Are there some essential elements you can add to the quality of your soil? In this message there are seven different characteristics of great soil, ones you'll want to add to your life, your family, your business and your church.

Today we finish a series of messages on prayer, and as we do, have you asked yourself lately, how your prayer quotient is growing? This message is all about why we don't see answers to prayer and how to turn that around. There's a great set of principles in a story from the book of Matthew that will transform your lifeline to God.

Today's message continues to be a challenge regarding prayer. You may not realize it, but it's very possible that many pray "prayerless" prayers. What is real prayer and how can we begin to increase our prayer quotient? That's the point of this message!
