Our study of the Epistle of James takes us to the third chapter where the apostle warns his audience against too many people becoming teachers and the untamable destructive power of the human tongue. In this chapter James also writes about earthly and heavenly wisdom. “1 My brethren, let not many of you become teachers, […]

James 2: Saved by Faith, Justified by Works
Certainly debated as one of the most controversial passage in the New Testament, the second chapter of the Epistle of James contains scripture intended for a spiritually delinquent audience. Starting out with partiality, James invites readers to rid themselves of favoritism. Because God and Christ show mercy and grace without favoritism, so should believers. “1 […]
James 1: Trials, Temptation and Doers of the Word
As we continue our study of the book of James we now find ourselves in the first chapter, the prelude to one of the most debated section of the bible. In last week’s message we established the most likely author of this epistle was James, the half brother of Jesus. Through studying the word we […]
The Epistle of James
Written between 52 A.D. and 62 A. D. the Epistle of James is regarded as the “How to” book for Christians. Written either by the half brother of Jesus or the brother of John the Baptist, this epistle is meant to help Christians grow as servants of Jesus Christ. The target audience of this letter […]
Saved by Grace, Sanctified by Works
The funniest thing happened earlier this week when my daughter Grace overheard me tell Elizabeth the TV remote control needed cleaning. Our remote’s buttons sometimes stop working and require I pop it open and wipe the circuitry with a cotton swab damp with rub alcohol. When she heard it needed “cleaning”, Grace, our three and […]

It’s an invitation of sorts… You are cordially invited to A BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION!!! Guest of Honor: Jesus Christ Date: Every day. Traditionally, December 25 but He’s always around, so the date is […]
Broad is the Road that Leads to Hell
Broad is the road that leads to hell. Many of you are unknowingly headed in the wrong direction. This week’s message focuses on those who are sincere about their faith and beliefs but clueless as to the truth. Anyone is likely to believe a lie until they are faced with the truth however it takes […]
How to ready yourself for the Lord’s return
Continuing on with my study of the book of Luke, this week’s message offers biblical guidelines for those seeking comfort in Christ’ return. While many among us claim to be ready for the Lord’s second coming, few actually take steps toward preparing for this most important biblical prophecy. In Luke 12, Jesus shares a parable […]
Do not fear Men but the Lord your God
As I continue my study the book of the apostle Luke, I find myself completely awed by God’s plan for my life and that of those around me. Earlier this week, I was harshly persecuted for my relationship with Jesus Christ as I bodily stood up for my faith in God almighty through this ministry. […]
