James 5.14-18

Prayer for the sick. James gives the only specific instructions in the Bible for this kind of prayer. He goes back to Elijah of the Old Testament as an example of the faith that healing prayer requires - but what is it about Elijah that we should learn?

James 5.12-13

"your yes is to be yes and your no, no" says James. Am I known as a person whose word is good? It's a high compliment when someone can readily assess me that way!

James 4.1-17

“What’s really going on here?” is a question we should ask in the middle of quarrels. James says that we should look inside and be honest about what’s really at the heart of the matter.

James 3.1-13

Where did that come from? Ever say something and you find yourself asking that question? James supplies the answer.

James 2.14-26

Maurice Blondel said " The one who talks, especially if he talks to God, can affect a great deal, but the one who acts really means business and has more claim on our attention. If you want to know what a person really believes, don't listen to what he says but watch what he does." James presses this point powerfully as we shall see on Sunday!

James 2.2; 1 Samuel 16.7

What kind of person impresses you, honestly? With the wisdom of Scripture in our hearts and on our minds, remember that humanly we see what's on the outside while God sees what's in the heart. "What do you see before you look?"

Luke 15

The most famous father in the Bible is perhaps that of what is called the prodigal son. Did you ever wonder what happened the next day after the celebrations were over?

James 1.19-26

Did you ever wish you could take back something you said? Here is one of James' practical applications in his "walk the talk" letter. How can we learn to hold our tongues when we should and yet know when not to be silent when we should not be reluctant to speak out?

James 1:13-18

One of the ways that testing comes our way is in the area of temptation. Starting with our great ancestor Eve we have all been the target of this strange desire. What tempts you? How do you respond to this .. we all face it, right?

James 1:2-1 & 5:7-11

There is perhaps no greater challenge to life and faith than very, very difficult circumstances. For some they are a threat to faith while for others they are the very reason to hold on to faith. James gives us detailed help for hard times.
