“Israel Interludes” – Week #1

Show Notes

SCRIPTURE: James 2:14-26

SHOW NOTES: As believers in Jesus Christ, our everyday actions should “match” our words of faith. The way we live out our faith each day really matters! James tells us that faith and works go “hand in hand.” Genuine faith will be lived out through deeds, and he points to charitable works or generosity. Do we visit the widow and orphans? Do we neglect the poor and show partiality to the rich? We may believe that God loves the poor but if our actions do not demonstrate our care and concern for their daily needs then our faith is not alive. In fact, our faith is dead. It is inactive, it is dormant. James writes, “You have faith and I have works. Show me your faith apart from your works, and I will show you my faith by my works.”

Show Notes

SCRIPTURE: James 3:1-12

SHOW NOTES: How should we live out our faith in everyday life? James is very specific in the opening verses of chapter 3. He wants us to know teachers of God’s Word will be held accountable and he reminds us that we all make mistakes. We will not be perfect, but our desire should be spiritual growth and maturity.

Now, James points to the control of our tongues. In verse 5 he writes, “So also the tongue is a small member, yet it boasts of great things.” When the tongue is not carefully constrained or guarded, it will get us into trouble. James takes us to the heart of our Christian walk. How do we use our tongue?

Show Notes

SCRIPTURE: James 3:13-18

SHOW NOTES: James asks this question, “Who is wise and understanding among you?” He points to one’s conduct, good works, and the discipline of his tongue. The Hebrew word for wisdom is chokma. Wise living means applying Biblical principles to everyday life. It is the ability to view life from God’s perspective and then order our life according to His will. James will contrast earthly wisdom (vv. 14-16) with heavenly wisdom (v. 17). He wants us to clearly see the difference and to seek “wisdom from above.” Do I turn to the Lord and ask Him to give me the wisdom I need today? “If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God who gives freely.” And for those who walk in wisdom “a harvest of righteousness is sown in peace by those who make peace.”

Enjoy these three new Holy Week video messages just for you – under two minutes each:

Before Jesus was crucified, He celebrated the last supper with His disciples. Then, He walked from the Upper Room to the Garden of Gethsemane where He cried out in great anguish to His Heavenly Father. Finally at the Garden Tomb, we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ!

VIDEO CLIP #1 – At The Western Wall (John 15)

Jesus calls His disciples, “Friends.” And then instructs them, “Go and bear fruit … love one another.”

VIDEO CLIP #2 – In The Garden of Gethsemane (Matthew 26)

Jesus prayed with great agony here in the garden. “My Father, if it be possible, let this cup pass from Me; nevertheless, not as I will, but as You will.”

VIDEO CLIP #3 – At The Garden Tomb (John 20)

When we remember the cross and the garden tomb, our hearts and minds rejoice with this eternal truth – the grave is empty. He is risen! He is risen indeed!
