As Christians, we know that our primary responsibility is to follow Jesus through faithful obedience to His Word. However, when life is hard, plans don’t work out, and prayers go unanswered it can be easy to shut down and stop responding to the truths that we hold dear. Additionally, we face an enemy who seeks to persuade us toward a passive and inactive faith that knows the Word but never responds. James was aware that the church of his day struggled with a passive faith and the same can be true for us today. As we dive into our passage we will observe a clear command, a serious warning, and a glorious promise which will enable us to be responsive Christians who hear God’s Word and do what it says.   Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: James 1:22-25 Series: The Book of James: Authentic Faith   For more information visit www.BenDixon.org

A common critique of the modern American church is that we are more internally focused than externally focused. When and where this criticism is true of God’s people, we will find a church that is slowly dying spiritually because much our mission is to reach a broken, hurting, and dying world. We must be a church that is on fire for Jesus. That means we are bold, unashamed, passionate, and focused on reaching people in every way that we possibly can. How do we move from learning to living, from casual to passionate, and from passive to engaged? In today’s message, we will look at how the church went from fearful to fired up with the mission of Christ, and our hope is that God would do the very same in us today!   Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: Acts 1:8, Acts 2:1-21 Series: Staff Pastors   For more information visit www.BenDixon.org

When we get offended or when life is difficult, it’s not hard to get angry. We all deal with the issue of anger to one degree or another. So, the question is not, “Do we get angry?” but rather, “What should we do with the anger that we experience?” James speaks directly and practically about how to deal with anger which was important for them and is still relevant for us today.   Speaker: Pastor Ben Dixon Scripture: James 1:19-21, Ephesians 4:26-27, Deuteronomy 5:1, Matthew 13:9, Ecclesiastes 5:1-2, Proverbs 16:32 Series: The Book of James   For more information visit www.BenDixon.org

As we study the book of James, we have learned that trials and difficulties are a part of life. James shows us that the trials around us produce temptations within us. We are all tempted but we do not have to sin. As we follow Jesus faithfully, what we will find is the strength to endure our trials and the power to overcome our temptations.

As we continue in our study today, we are reminded that James is very familiar with the difficulties that many Christians face. His advice thus far has been to sustain a joyful attitude in trials because we know that God gives us endurance so that we can fully mature into the likeness of Jesus Christ. In today’s passage, we will learn about the danger of doubt and how to receive real answers for the problems we face as followers of Jesus Christ.
