    Out of Both Sides of Your Mouth

    James said the tongue is like a bit in a horse’s mouth, a ship’s rudder, and a spark that sets a forest on fire. His readers blessed God in worship and then cursed people made in God’s likeness. He pointed out that fresh water and salt water cannot flow from the same spring. We recognize the problem; our Sunday […]

    Don’t Tell Me, Show Me

    (James 2:14-26)  James imagined a believer who saw a brother without clothes or food and said, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” but did nothing. He called that faith dead. Even the demons believe God is one, and they shudder. Abraham and Rahab were counted righteous because their faith acted. It is easy to confuse […]

    Religion Thats All Talk

    James told his readers to be quick to hear, slow to speak, and slow to anger, because human anger does not produce the righteousness of God. When the word confronted them, their instinct was to talk back and defend themselves. James called them to close their mouths and open their hearts, receiving the implanted word […]

    The Law Rebuilds Commitment to God

    The walls were finished, the covenant was renewed, and the people celebrated with genuine joy. However, after Nehemiah left, everything fell apart again. Levites were not being paid, the Sabbath was being broken, and men had married foreign wives again. When Nehemiah returned, he called down curses, beat people, and pulled out their hair. It is a sad […]

    Nehemiah Rebuilds the Wall

    Nehemiah was a courageous leader, who successfully led the rebuilding of Jerusalem’s walls. However, he often became furious with the Jewish people for their sin. He cared deeply about accomplishing God’s will, but he was not patient or gentle when the people fell short. Like Nehemiah, we often try to force people to do what is right, but […]

    Zerubbabel Rebuilds the Temple

    The returning exiles came home full of hope, but the reality was brutal. The land was ravaged, neighbors were hostile, and the temple project came to a complete stop for many years. The people lost heart and focused on their own houses while God’s house sat in ruins. God had to send Haggai and Zechariah to convince the […]

    What Do You See?

    Guest speaker Chase Turner, President and CEO of Herald of Truth Ministries, challenges us to see the Bible not merely as a collection of rules, but as the unified story of Jesus. From the Garden of Eden to the Tree of Life in Revelation, Chase traces God’s plan to dwell with His people and calls […]

    When You Mess Up

    We all mess up. Parents fail their children. Spouses hurt each other. We lose our tempers, say things we regret, and make decisions we wish we could take back. The question is not whether we will fail as family members, but what we will do when we do. John’s letter offers both a sober diagnosis—“If we claim to […]
