Tabor Church

Today we are going to talk about James 4:5. This verse is a highly contested translation verse. We are going to talk about two possible ways to translate it with equally as good scriptural backing in the rest of the Bible. What we do know is that God loves us and doesn't want us to waste the spirit that he has put in us.

Today we will look at James 4:4. James brings out his inner Old Testament Prophet voice. You adulterers! Is being a friend of the world really that bad? Are we not called to build relationships and be in the world? We are going to explore that today and sort through this verse.

Today we begin our journey into chapter 4 of James. Why are there fights and quarrels? We all know the problems that exist as we are consumer driven people. We can try and find the consumer switch in us and get it under control but it will only lead to more frustration. Where is the hope when the battle rages on?

Today we are finishing up chapter 3 of James. Verse 18 is connected with the godly wisdom that we spoke of yesterday. We will talk about Peacemakers today and what the difference between a peacemaker and peacekeeper is. We should be sowing seeds of peace so that God can make those seeds grow.

James starts off the end of chapter 3 with a list of all the things godly wisdom is not. And finally we get to what godly wisdom actually is. So what is godly wisdom? Today we are going to take it word by word and dig into it a little bit. Enjoy!

Today we will continue talking about Godly wisdom. James explains more of it by saying what it doesn't contain. It is an important message for us right now because the same things talked about are the same things being used in the church and outside the church in our communities right now. We are going to seek godly wisdom today!

Today you will be reminded over 100 times that it is Election Day. It is good for you to vote and should go and do that. We will talk about a strategy for how we can handle today with grace and pose. It is going to be necessary because this election is weird. Let's keep our eyes fixed on the most important thing.

Today we are continuing with our discussion of James. We started into the second half of chapter 3 today and we try and figure out the difference between wisdom and knowledge. The scriptures give us a picture of wisdom personified, that is wisdom with flesh. What can we learn today about wisdom with flesh on?

Today we try and not get caught up in the pile of law heaped upon us by James. There doesn't seem to be any way out of this. We know the struggle is real as we also hear from Paul and see that in the flesh, in our sinful nature, we have no hope. Where can our hope be found?

Today we are talking about hypocrisy. I read a Phycology Today article about the origins on hypocrisy and found it to be pretty fascinating. Have you witnessed hypocrisy in the Church today? This isn't right. We must learn to call it out and make it a natural process of repentance.  Everyone can be a hypocrite but let's not use that as an excuse.
