Week 9 | James:Faith and Fruit | Matt Robinson

Speaker: Matt Robinson
Scripture: James 5:1-6
•
Shrinkflation and Inflation. Yuck. A dollar isn’t what a dollar used to be. Even if you’ve been prudent with your money, investing can be a roller coaster and it can be hard to keep your balance. Riches can’t keep us safe even if having more might make you feel more at ease. Each of us needs to remember that financial wealth is a temporary thing. Like a flower in the summer sun it will eventually shrivel up. Our assurance isn’t found in finance, it’s found in our heavenly Father.

Week 8 | James:Faith and Fruit | Matt Robinson

Speaker: Matt Robinson
Scripture: James 4:10
•
It’s pretty ironic that nobody enjoys being around a proud or arrogant person, and at the same time none of us tend to enjoy humbling ourselves in front of someone else. It’s a bit of a conundrum. Scripture says that God opposes the proud and gives grace to the humble. That pretty clearly shows us the posture we should take in life. Position ourselves at the feet of Jesus and he will lift us up.

Week 7 | James:Faith and Fruit | Matt Robinson

Speaker: Matt Robinson
Scripture: James 3:17-18
•
You don’t have to look very far to find life advice. Friends, coworkers, search engines, and now even artificial intelligence can give us input into life’s questions big and small.Some of us search for wisdom from experience, a high IQ, or fresh ideas. James says a wise person is revealed by how they live. Wisdom that comes from heaven is full of the fruit that reveals God’s presence.

Week 6 | James:Faith and Fruit | Matt Robinson

Speaker: Matt Robinson
Scripture: James 3:1-12
•
Imagine you start a dog walking business. You walk dobermans, bulldogs, german shepherds, mastiffs, and great danes. But you don’t bother to invest in leashes. You're a free range dog walker. Your business wouldn’t last long, and you might even get sued as a result of all damage and injuries you cause. You can leash an animal, but scripture says you can’t keep a leash on your tongue. Words are like uncontrollable wild animals. The second we let them out of our mouths they run wild. And they can cause a world of hurt if we aren’t careful.

Week 5 | James:Faith and Fruit | Matt Robinson

Speaker: Matt Robinson
Scripture: James 2:14-26
•
If you told me you were a magician, I’d ask you to show me a magic trick. If you told me you. If you said you were a body-builder, I might ask you how much you could bench. If you say you are a follower of Jesus, what evidence do you have to support that? Faith isn’t just a belief. It’s something you act upon. Do you have a faith that is more concept than concrete? God wants us to have a faith that has follow through. Faith that bears fruit.

Week 4 | James:Faith and Fruit | Matt Robinson

Speaker: Matt Robinson
Scripture: James 2:1-13
•
Do you keep the royal law? Do you know what the royal law even is? It has to do with your neighborhood. If you love your neighbor as yourself, you are keeping it. James’ brother Jesus challenged us to see even people we REALLY don’t like as our neighbors. You might not see yourself as a law breaker, but if you are being picky about who you are sharing God’s love with, the Bible says that’s criminal behavior.
