As we begin chapter 2 of James we find that showing partiality on the basis of external differences is sin.

As we complete James 1, we find three marks of an individual who has been given the new birth and whose heart has been changed.

Pastor Chris Teasley of Concord Baptist Church preaches a powerful message on Bound and Broken from Psalm 34:14 – 22 on the final night of our community revival.

As we hear from Jesus we are told to expect persecution and we are exhorted to be salt and light in a dark world.

As we look to Jesus' washing the feet of the disciples' feet at the Last Supper we see why He came and what He commands His followers to do.

In this text, we find the one who has received the word, hears the word and does the word and is blessed. The one who only hears the word and doesn’t do the word deceives himself.

The implanted word of God produces life, character and continues to save us.

God is not the source of temptation, we are the source of our temptation, and the cycle of temptation ends in death.

Trials are lifelong. Those who remain steadfast will be blessed in this life and rewarded in the next life.

As we examine Isaiah's time and the depravity of the people of God, we learn lessons for our time as well.

Our faithful Father is giving, unchanging, and willing.

To endure trials, we need Wisdom from God, to receive wisdom from God we must ask with a single minded trust in God.

As it goes with individuals, so it goes with families, and so it goes with churches. If we do not remain steadfast under trials then we are much more likely to not be doers of the word, to not care for others in their distress, to be loose with our tongues, quick to anger and prayerless.

As we draw the story of Abraham to a close we find that God kept His promises in the past, is keeping His promises in the present and will keep His promises in the future.

We examine what Jesus said about the work of the Holy Spirit in the world and in the life of the believer.

As we come to a mile marker in the story of the patriarchs, we see Abraham's mourning for Sarah and purchase of a burial plot in the promised land. We are reminded we are pilgrims on this earth and there is hope beyond the grave.

God is unrelenting in His faithfulness even when His followers falter, such as the case with Abraham in his interactions with Ambimelech.
