Gaining Victory in Our Faith

As followers of Jesus, we face constant challenges to our faith. We find ourselves in a battle to fully follow the teaching of the Scriptures.
When you are in a battle, strategy plays a significant role. Things need to be done in the right order for victory to ensue.
You don’t want the infantry charging the same time you shower the enemy with arrows. Your troops will be caught in the crossfire. You don’t build a siege ramp if you have already conquered the city.
In James 4:7, the Scripture lays out the order for finding victory in our faith. When we follow that order, we stand strong in our faith.
Join us this coming Sunday as we dive into Scripture to discover how to find victory in our faith. We worship at 9:30 am. at 740 N. 129th Street along the West Dodge corridor in Omaha, Nebraska.

When the World is our Friend

Our friends define us. The people with whom we associate tell volumes about us.
It’s been said that birds of the same feather flock together.
How do your friends impact your actions and reactions? Do they improve you as a person or do they challenge your values to the point that you are that they subtract from who you are?
James 4:4-6 addresses the question of our friends, cautioning us of being friends with the world and living in opposition to God. Join us this coming Sunday as we seek to find balance in our lives in our pursuit of the ways of Jesus.

Peace in Place of Conflict

What causes fights and quarrels among us? Are we more part of the problem, or are we more a part of the solution?
In James 4:1-3, we discover the primary source for the conflicts we have with our mate, with our children, with our family, with our work, in our church, and in the world.
Join us this coming Sunday as we look at what James 4:1-3 teaches on why we fight and why we quarrel and are at war with others.

Marks of Heavenly Wisdom

Wisdom . . . we all seek after it, but we don’t always find it. We aren’t sure if what we hear is indeed “wisdom.”
The Bible gives some descriptions of what biblical wisdom looks like, giving nine descriptors for us to use to determine that something is indeed wise.
The overarching description for something that is wise is the word, “pure.” Is the information fault-finding; is it questionable; is it impartial; etc.?
Join us this coming Sunday, July 30, as we discover how the Bible describes true wisdom.

What is Wisdom

Wisdom is revealed more by what we do versus what we say. Scripture challenges us to “show” others wisdom in way that we act towards others.
A further challenge is to avoid envy and selfish ambition that blinds us to our actions and to our thoughts that drive our actions.
Friends, as long as we are living and breathing, we have to continue to grow in wisdom. While we fail at times, we find forgiveness and renewal in Jesus and in His Holy Spirit.
Join us this coming Sunday as we look at what James 3:13-16 has to say about wisdom as we seek to answer the question, “What is Wisdom?”

Corralling the Tongue

The tongue quickly gets out of control. A garbled comment; an ill-meaning statement; an unfiltered response in anger.
Deadly poison can spew from our lips. Instead of building others up, we destroy them with our words.
Our tongues need corralling, controlled by our minds and hearts as we seek to direct our comments, so they bring healing and hope.
Join us this coming Sunday as we look at what James 3:9-12 has to say about the tongue and its inconsistencies. A question is raised, how can we praise God with the same lips that direct darts of disdain toward those created in God’s image.

Torture from the Tongue

Rumors can be very destructive. As our tongues run rampant, spreading error, creating troubles, and even causing significant damage to someone.
The Bible challenges us to get control of our tongue. The tongue is influential and infectious. What we say can spread quickly. The tongue is compared to a spark that lights a fire.
Join us this coming Sunday as we look at what James 3:3-8 has to say about the tongue and its destructive tendencies.

A Teacher’s Challenge

Teachers face incredible challenges as they attempt to inculcate values, concepts, and ideas to the next generation.
It’s hard to keep ahead of the information curve and to stay current with the most current information. It’s equally difficult to inspire the students to learn.
The Bible mentions another significant challenge for teachers in James 3, where cautions teachers, because they will be held accountable for what they teach.
Join us this coming Sunday as we look at what the Scriptures say about those who teach and what it means for us today.

An Example of Faith

God uses imperfect people to accomplish His perfect will. God empowers us and enables us to minister to others despite our own weaknesses.
Some of the major characters of the Bible had major character flows, but God forgave them and then used them for His glory and for His purposes.
God invites us to call out to Him to forgive us for past and present failures so that He can use us to impact others in a positive way.
God has a purpose and plan for all His children.
Join us this coming Sunday as we look to James 2:25-26, discovering an example of how God used a less-than-perfect person to accomplish His perfect will.

Legacy of Faith

What will be your legacy? How will you be remembered?
Will you have a positive impact on the next generation, or will your impact be less than positive?
As followers of Jesus, it is our desire to leave a legacy of faith. The way to leave that legacy is to live your faith in such a way that others are affected by your positive witness.
Join us this coming Sunday as we look at the example of Abraham as described in James 2:20-24, seeing his example and what it teaches us.
