The Priority of Prayer P2
What role does prayer play in your life? Is it a priority? Prayer is the key that unlocks the power of God to accomplish in us what we cannot on our own. Yet many of us fail to pray, communicating to God that we don’t need his help, thus forfeiting access to his power. Jesus’ prayer life modelled for us the essentiality of this discipline in the Christian life. Abide in him in prayer, then watch and see God’s power unleashed!

Essential Wisdom Within Suffering P2
The bible warns us that the Christian walk is never going to be easy and trials are a guarantee. When we encounter the storms of life, James cautions us to be prepared by seeking the wisdom from above that will give us the ability to persevere and weather the storm, knowing that God uses the difficulties in life to sanctify us, produce character within us and increase our faith and steadfastness. The challenges will undoubtedly come, bringing suffering and pain. But take heart: God’s word provides the wisdom and encouragement to endure suffering with the faith that the Lord uses all things for our good and his glory.
Incarnation: Incomprehensible Humility P2
When we celebrate the birth of Christ, do we seriously consider the mind-blowing reality that our omniscient, perfect God selflessly humbled himself and came to earth as a baby? In this incarnation, God did not forsake his divine nature or diminish his deity but instead he added to it, humanity. Christ’s submission to the Father, all part of his great plan to redeem and to save. What an amazing gift, what an awesome God!

Wisdom Warnings for the Wealthy P2
Wealth is not sinful in and of itself. God blessed many of his faithful servants (consider Solomon) with a gift of wealth. But with this comes the added responsibility to steward wisely & generously. We can use wealth for kingdom purposes or for selfish purposes. The desire for money and possessions can soon turn into worship and idolatry, resulting in sin and a separation from God, In today’s message, we examine the wisdom and warning concerning the love of wealth in chapter five of James’ letter.
