James
Faith and Prayer

As James closes his letter, the number one thing on his mind is prayer. Which makes sense, because prayer might be the main application of everything he’s been writing. True faith expresses itself through prayer.

Establish Your Heart in the End of the Story
November 10, 2025
James calls us to be long-suffering—to endure injustice, pain, and grief without losing hope. That kind of patience doesn’t come from calm apps or techniques; it comes from knowing how the story ends.

Money Talks
November 2, 2025
Money is persuasive. It can be used for tremendous good, but it can also misused. This warning about hoarding, withholding, and indulging points us to the joy of giving.

Humility in Our Plans
October 26, 2025
James confronts a sin that is so common that we don’t even notice it in our lives. It’s the sin of presumptuousness: Living life and making plans without any reference to God.

Who Are You to Judge?
October 19, 2025
When we say something that negatively shades how people see someone, that is in the realm of slander. The problem is more common and more egregious than we think, but the gospel can change us. Mercy triumphs over judgement.

What Causes Fights?
October 12, 2025
We tend to focus on the surface reality of conflicts. But the answer to why we fight (and the solution to our fights) can’t be found on the surface. We have to look deeper.

Wisdom From Above

The Problem & Power of Our Words
September 28, 2025
Our words reveal who we are, and they have the power to change the whole course of life. The problem is, no one can tame the tongue. So we look to Jesus for forgiveness and power to walk in his ways.

The Sin of Partiality
September 14, 2025
To favor people because of appearances is so common that it feels normal. But James tells us that partiality is incompatible with faith in Jesus. God gives us the capacity to see people as he sees them, and to love them as he loves them.

Hearing and Doing
September 7, 2025
Just as we were given new life by the word of God (James 1:18), so we grow in that new life by living according to the word of God. And that involves two things: Hearing the word and doing the word. James holds those two things together, not to be separated.
James
Temptation and Faith
August 31, 2025
In the first 12 verses of James, he's been talking about trials. Now, in verse 13, he switches the topic to temptation. Perhaps better than any other passage in the NT, James lays out a process for how temptation and sin work in our lives.

Steadfast In Trial
August 24, 2025
It’s okay to ask God to take away our trials. But in our waiting, we can also ask him to give us what we need to be faithful and fruitful in our trials. This is the wisdom from above, and it is available to all who ask.

The Church Belongs to God
September 18, 2022
The church belongs to God. He prepares work for us to do, he enables us to do it, and he causes the growth. That reality shapes how we view spiritual leaders, how we participate in the life of the church, and what we think the church is.

Crown of Creation: The Imago Dei
May 21, 2023
What does it mean to be a human being created in the image of God? It couldn’t be a more relevant question. Because there are a lot of competing narratives out there about what it means to be human…who we are, what we’re here for, and what makes us valuable. Genesis tells us that humanity is the crown of God’s creation.

Power Over Darkness
February 13, 2022
The story of this demon-possessed man in Luke 8 directly confronts our naturalistic tendencies. It affirms that we have a spiritual enemy, and he is powerfully at work in the world. But it also affirms that there is One who has far greater power, and he too is at work.
