Jeff Samuel brings us our message this week looking at "How To Develop Patience" from James 5:7-12.



Jeff dives straight into a review of what Kotie spoke on last week to see how that ties into today's passage before looking at our passage for today in detail. He takes a look at how to hurt someone with grumbling, the opposite of what we should be doing. Jeff then looks at the story of the Prophet Micaiah from 1 Kings 22, and looks at how he invokes what James mentions in verse 10. He then circles back to verses 7 and 8 to discuss the "Lord's coming", specifically the "Rapture of the Church".

Kotie Smith discusses "How To Be Wise With Your Wealth" from James 5:1-6.



Kotie opens with a reading of our passage for today, before breaking it down, starting with discussing who this was written to. Kotie then moves verse by verse, looking at how they can be applied to us today, especially focusing on how we view money vs God. He breaks them into "three sins" outlined by James, before looking at some principals about wealth.

Dan Pettersen discusses facing our future this week, taken from James 4:13-17.



Peter Sun opens up our service today with a Pastoral Prayer over our children before Dan Pettersen jumps in to discuss "the future". Dan looks over three key mistakes that are commonly made about the future as outlined by James, and the warning that he gives.

Sam Crosbie brings us a shorter message this morning, focusing on just two verses from James 4.



While our passage is short, Sam jumps right in and reads the two verses that he's covering. He then talks to us with a warning about looking at things on the surface, rather than being able to see the deeper level and root cause of what may be going on. Sam then ties this into how James speaks into judging those around us, without actually dealing with the underlying problems that may be present. He then compares 2 chapters from 1 Corinthians which appears to contradict, but he looks at what the specifics are around what we should and shouldn't judge. Sam then continues to discuss the importance of making a distinction between evil and critical in sin. He then discusses three issues with trying to judge with our wisdom instead of God's word.

Peter Sun follows up the message from Tim Norris last week, looking at "Friendship with the World" from James 4.



Peter gets right into it and reads our passage for today before looking at how it builds on what was spoken about last week. He then breaks the passage into four sections - The Context; Our Actions; Consequences; and Solutions.

Tim Norris discusses "Earthly Wisdom" and "Heavenly Wisdom" and what that means from the end of James 3.



We jump into Tim giving us a quick overview of what has been covered in the last couple of chapters before he starts going through the passage for today. Tim looks at how we define wisdom based on people around us and their "status", and how the world defines wisdom from Romans 1, and even in Genesis 3. He then compares this to the "Christian" wisdom that James writes about here in our passage and also referred to in Proverbs 9, looking at how these different types of wisdom operate in our lives. Tim then breaks our passage into four key sections, focusing on "Godly Wisdom" and "Earthly Wisdom", and the fruits of them both.



Due to a technical glitch, the first few minutes of the message were unable to be recorded.
