Preaching the Gospel in Faithful Fellowship
Sermons on James (Page 2)
The Bible is clear – there are two types of wisdom, that which comes from God, and all else. As we consider James 3:13-18 we are reminded of this stark contrast and our need to daily ask God for wisdom.
James prompts us in James 2:15-26 not to be dead Christians, but to be those that are working for the Kingdom, to have fruit in our spiritual lives. While these acts will never save us, there should be evidence of our salvation.
It’s hard not to be partial toward those that can benefit us or those that we like. Yet, as we study the Word of God, it’s clear that Christ was not partial to anyone. James lays it out for us plainly in James 2:1-13 – don’t be partial to anyone!
