In every church there are those who do not truly believe. James calls us to be God's rescue workers for those who have wandered off.

Christians endure trial as well, but we are never alone. If we are facing hardship, James has a pathway for us to walk.

Is prayer a habit in your life? It is a privilege that we can pray. Only through prayer can we endure trials with joy.

God cares about the truthfulness of our hearts. He wants us to be consistent in what we do, and say.

In trials, James wants us to understand that we are not alone. The Holy Spirit is always present with us, empowering us to endure: and we have the examples of past saints.

Suffering is inevitable in this world. In his letter, James gives believers instruction on how to endure trials, especially opposition from the unbelieving world.

Money is a tool for us to use for God's glory. We are never to despise those who are wealthy, because God gives wealth to some. However, James also warns against the ungodly use and acquisition of money.

James denounces the rich who abuse their wealth, and warns believers not to envy their wealth. What we have is God's gift to us; what James condemns is the misuse of it.

James' challenge to us is to live our lives committing all our ways to God.

James speaks about the importance of having a right relationship with one another. If we have a right relationship with God, we will be humble, and compassionate toward other people.

When our loyalties are divided, our choices are hypocritical and inconsistent. James challenges us to submit ourselves to God so that we can receive His grace.

What we think determines what we say and do. James says that the test of true wisdom is living out what we know about God in practice.

James writes that the source of quarrels and conflicts is our worldly desires. The world says to seek after our own desires rather than what God desires. We are called to daily battle against the flesh by the Spirit's power, knowing that true contentment is found in God alone.

What we think determines what we say and do. James says that the test of true wisdom is living out what we know about God in practice.

James' challenge to us is to restrain our speech. The proof of Christian character is controlling our tongue. Like a rudder on a ship or a bit on a horse, what we say has effects. What James calls us to is careful speech.

James' message to us is that faith without works doesn't work. Salvific faith is always based on the grace of Jesus Christ.

Real faith always produces deeds; it is not merely a profession. Faith without conduct is worthless.

As believers, we should be representing Jesus Christ, having a faith that works. The standard for how we should treat others is God's Word.

James wants us to live our faith out.

It is so easy to fall into the trap of a religious routine. But without the right heart, it is meaningless. James wants us to have pure and undefiled religion that is genuine, and not merely for show.
