Northwest Foursquare Church Sermon Podcast Northwest Foursquare Church

Today we are going to see through the Scriptures that knowing Jesus was the focus of the Apostle Paul’s life - nothing else he experienced could deter this goal. Just as this was Paul’s goal, each Christian wants to know Jesus more. This knowledge is more than just an intellectual understanding of the Word. When we press in and seek to know God more we are often faced with various problems: the distractions of life, personal responsibilities, and feelings of failure. Let’s allow the desire to know Jesus more to be stirred in us as we learn from the Scripture.

On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made.

I think we would all agree that there is a massive difference between faith that is alive and faith that is dead. Faith without action is not THE FAITH that we see in Jesus’ life nor His teachings. However, it seems that believers from the first century to the twenty-first century have too often allowed for something that isn’t fully real and doesn’t actually help. Let’s look carefully at what James has to say and freshly commit ourselves to what Jesus intended for His followers.

On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made.

Pastor Ben Dixon encourages us by looking at the lives of the disciples following the death and resurrection of Jesus. We see how Jesus encountered multiple groups of people following his resurrection where he moves them from Fear to Faith, from Doubt to Devotion, from Rejection to Restoration, and from Death to Life.

"On mission with Jesus to see the lost saved and disciples made."

It’s near impossible to live in our world and not have some pre-disposed opinions that affect the way we see and treat others. There are many reasons for why this could be the case for us, but Jesus does not share our prejudice, nor does He treat people unfairly for any reason. In our passage today, James calls out the sin of favoritism which was prevalent then and still is today. As disciples of Jesus, we must have zero tolerance for the unfair treatment of others because the same grace that saved and sustains us is the same grace that God offers to everyone else.
