Title: Tongue Trouble
Series: House of Bricks
Date: 9/25/2011
Speaker: Tim T. Jones
I love how James is so real, when talking about the problems with our tongue, he uses the word “we” twice. He does not exclude himself, he is like all of us who are amazed at what our tongue is capable of saying. This is a challenging passage that we should lose count on how many times we’ve read it, but need reminded to take an internal look and ask God to reveal our darkness.
So many get caught up in the controversy, and misinterpret the message that they miss the message all together. James’ heart shouts his message that the impact of grace should cause ripples of “works” (acts of love) through out a believer’s life that are fruit baring and a sign of healthy faith. James wants his church members to have this healthy faith.

Title: Favoritism
Overview: It is so easy to do, but James reminds us of how detrimental it can be to the church. He gives 3 great arguments to the Jerusalem church living in dispersion and then he reminds them of the power of mercy which give reason to show favoritism appropriately to the one who is worthy, Lord of Glory, Jesus Christ!

Context is key when understanding key words and ideas in Scripture. On the surface it seems that James and Paul contradict each other, looking deeper we cans see that they are talking about “works” at two different points in our spiritual walk. Today we will look at Paul’s view so next week we can read James’ view with better understanding.

Although we all hate them, we know that there are few things that stir us to action like when a teacher says, “Clear your desks, we are having a pop quiz.” James is pulling for the church of Jerusalem, that is now dispersed all over the region, to be just that, THE CHURCH. So James is checking the oil level you could say as he challenges them to be “doers of the Word,” not to forget what the Word exposes in us, and take action in three places.

James played a key role in the beginning of Christian Church history, he helped hold together the mission during some difficult time. His close relationship with his older half brother played a significant part of who he was for sure. His emphasis on making your faith active reveals the heart of his message and something today’s churches need to face.
