Episodes
Wisdom from Above (Part 1 of 2)
3/14/2025
In a society of disorder and discord, we desperately need the wisdom that comes from above. God’s wisdom is pure and peaceable, and will lead to meek conduct, the fruit of godliness, and peace in relationships. James urges us not simply to pursue God’s wisdom, but to show it by our good conduct. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1516/29

The Power of the Tongue (Part 2 of 2)
3/13/2025
Although the human tongue is a small thing, it is immensely powerful. James highlights for us the power and the danger of the tongue, and he challenges us to exercise self-control. More than that, he urges us to consider the inconsistency of our speech: we can so easily use our tongue both to bless and to curse. And James challenges us that this ought not to be so.

Faith That Works (Part 2 of 2)
3/11/2025
We might like to believe that we can have faith in Jesus but then ignore the call to obey Him, but James insists that true faith will lead to works of obedience. The works of obedience do not save, but saving faith will never be found in a life where there is no evidence of faith in works.

Seeing People Through a Gospel Lens (Part 2 of 2)
3/7/2025
It is so easy to treat people with partiality, giving preference to the rich or influential. But God has chosen the poor of this world to be rich in faith. We stand guilty as transgressors if we dishonour the poor—and we deny the gracious work of God in the gospel. This is a key area where we need to show that we are not only hearers of the Word but doers. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1516/29

Quick to Hear and Slow to Speak (Part 2 of 2)

2/20/2025
Living as free people in the power of the Spirit, we are called to do good to those around us—and especially to those of the family of faith. (This will include the hard work of restoring a fallen brother.) And as people made free through Jesus, we are to boast exclusively in the cross of Christ, and not in law-keeping.

True Freedom (Part 2 of 2)
2/17/2025
There are two dangers associated with our freedom in Christ. One is that we will forfeit it as we slip into legalism and try to justify ourselves before God; the other is that we will use our freedom as a license from sin. True freedom in the gospel allows no room for either. To support this ministry financially, visit: https://www.oneplace.com/donate/1516/29
