We all make plans, whether they concern what we will do the next day or in the coming years. While the Bible acknowledges that it is certainly wise to plan, it also recognizes that the posture behind our planning is crucial. In this teaching from the book of James, Pastor J.D. shows us how to make the most of the short time God has given to each of us.

In this teaching from James 4, Pastor J.D. answers the question James poses to us all: Why do we fight? At the deepest levels, where do our quarrels and jealousies come from? For most of us, we might think we know the answer. We fight because THEY started it! But James has a much different answer.

Taming the explosive power of our words is a difficult battle that we have to fight every day. But in today’s teaching, Pastor J.D. shares the good news that, through the transforming power of the gospel, we can become people whose words are used to encourage others and to restore life.

The tongue is such a small part of our bodies, and yet it has astonishing power—both to wound and to heal, to bless and to curse. In this teaching, Pastor J.D. walks through James 3 to show us the dangers of the tongue and what it can reveal about the state of our hearts.

In today’s teaching, Pastor J.D. unpacks a section of Scripture that talks about what a serious error it is when we show partiality to anyone… especially in the church!

Though we don’t like to admit it, we are often guilty of judging others based on very limited information. In this teaching from James 2, Pastor J.D. describes the dangers of showing favoritism, particularly within the church.

Unfortunately, trials can present us with the temptation to sin, rather than wait on God. Pastor J.D. Greear shows us how, in the face of such temptation, we can either embrace the truth that every good gift comes from God—or we can turn to other things for comfort and peace.

The Book of James takes the lofty doctrines of the gospel and brings them down to earth. You can’t read James without being confronted, and Pastor J.D. Greear continues introducing us to one of the most practical books of the Bible in this teaching called “Here Comes Trouble.”
