Don’t Judge Me Bro! is the refrain of our age.  People who know perhaps no other Bible verse can quickly quote “Judge not, Lest ye be judged.”   This statement is used as a blank check by our society that any and all behavior is beyond any and all scrutiny in any and all situations.  It is true that Jesus said in Matthew 7 & Luke 6 "Judge not, & you will not be judged" but Jesus also said in John 7:24 "Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."  Today we clear out confusion regarding judging & judgmentalism with our tenth message in our journey through the book of James this time seeing how "True Faith Works on Our Judgmentalism."  Grab your Bible, a pen, & print off the free downloadable sermon outline & accompanying study guide & let's get Washed in the Word!

Some allege that Paul & James contradict each other.  Some use the book of James to argue that we are saved by works.  James & Paul agree, but they look at faith & works from different vantage points.  Paul explains how to get saved, James explains what saving faith looks like.  Grab your Bible, a pen, & download the free sermon outline & accompanying study guide & let's get Washed in the Word!

What is the legitimate role of the Law in the lives of New Testament saints?  We are heirs of the Reformation which called us back to the cardinal biblical truths of sola gratia, sola fide, sola Christus, sola scriptura, sola deo Gloria That is, we are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone, by Scripture alone to the glory of God alone.  So when James 2 positively mentions the Law 5 times in rapid succession that can make some saints squirm.  Our fifth teaching in James addresses this issue head-on, do we stop in the name of the Law or in the name of love?  Grab your Bible, a pen & let's get Washed in the Word!

True faith is not mere mental assent to the facts of the gospel, it is a life changing relationship to the Lord Jesus where you start to act on the gospel.  True faith changes us.  This change starts in the heart but it inevitably heads to our hands. Works don’t save us, God saves us.  We are saved by grace alone through faith alone in Christ alone.  This is a gift of God, not by our works.  Yet true faith results in works.  If you have the root of Christ in your heart you will produce the fruit of Christ in your life.  James started by showing us that true faith works on our perspective.  After Jesus works on our attitude He then works on our actions.  That is the subject of our sermon today, to see that True Faith Works on Our Actions.  Grab your Bible, a pen, & print out the free downloadable sermon outline & let's get Washed in the Word!

Perspective is powerful.  How we see the world, influences how we interact with that world.  Today, James calls us to a radical reassessment of our perspective on our circumstances, on temptation, & on our salvation.  James is a book of action, yet he rightly starts not with a call to recalibrate our performance but with a call to recalibrate our perspective.  Why?  Because our attitudes often determine our actions.  In a very real sense our outlook often determines our outcomes.  Grab your Bible, a pen, & print out the free downloadable sermon outline & study guide & let's get Washed in the Word!
