We close this wonderful book with the “Test of Prayerfulness”. Prayer is our power source. The disciples came to Jesus and said teach us to pray. I find that so interesting that they didn’t say master teach us how to preach, teach us how to perform miracles, teach us how to walk on water, but they asked, teach us to pray. They knew the power in it, for they observed by personal observation that Jesus power came through His prayer time with the Father. They saw it in His preaching, evangelism, miracles, loving on the kids to the compassion on a sick woman. They could see that all those things tied back to His prayer and commune with the Father. That all success and fruit flowed from His prayer life. And now we get practical guidance and application for our prayer lives as we close this wonderful epistle out.

The Book of James, this epistle speaks clearly of the things that get the Christian distracted, off course, and how to get back on course and head in the direction God has willed for our lives. In our passage today we have a clear call of God to examine our dependance (do we plan our day or allow God to plan our day), and secondly….. when life gets tough do we endure, or check-out. Join us as we dig into another passage of how we can live the victorious Christian life…. Today! Calvary Chapel of Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

James is an in-your-face type teaching, he doesn’t mix words, rather he just comes right to the punch. The book of James is a no time to waste type book, let’s get growing, and let’s get maturing, let’s be doers of the Word. James is not interested in how great we talk, but how straight we walk, and that is the message all the way through this book. In chapter 1 it was be doers of the Word, in chapter 2 it was faith that works, chapter 3 it was our words are important for they show what is in our heart. Now chapter 4, no mixing of words, are you drawn to God, or to the things of the world? The simplest definition of worldliness is, anything that draws you away from God.

In Chapter 2 James told us that real faith is a faith that works. But good works need to be accompanied by wisdom! You can do the right thing the wrong way, or at the wrong time – and you can undermine the good you’re trying to do. In our study today we will look at “rightly applying wisdom”; another vital study for us as we seek to grow in our reflection of Him. Calvary Chapel of Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

By just His words Jesus spoke the universe into existence. Now in our study today He will tell us how we can use our tongue to build up, to create, to change things from darkness into light! Oh the power of the tongue. Calvary Chapel of Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

James writes to us so that we might examine ourselves. James is going to make a clear case in this passage on what real faith looks like in real life. True faith will have the evidence of works to back it up. James shows us 3 types of Faith, and points out that only one is a saved faith: · Dead Faith – 2:14-18 · Demonic Faith – 2:19 · Dynamic Faith – 2:20-26 Calvary Chapel of Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

As we continue our study in the book of James, a book with the theme of faith and the testing and proving out of our faith, where we see real faith showing up in real life; we come to the “Test of the Law of God”. Man has their standards, but God has His, and in our passage, we will dig deep and answer three questions, “What is the Difference Between” 1. Sin and Transgression (2:9) 2. God’s Standard and Religion’s Standard (2:10-11) 3. Grace and Mercy (2:12-13) Calvary Chapel of Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

In our last study the Lord spoke to us about how we hear and listen to people (swift to hear and slow to speak and wrath); and in this study He will speak to us on “how we see people”. Jesus did not just see people with His eyes, but with His heart too, He looked past the outward appearances, and looked into the depth of the person. Today’s passage will speak to us on doing the same. Calvary Chapel of Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

Seems like we are moving into a new thought, but it really flows and applies to trials and temptations, our response to the Word, will determine our response to every trial and temptation. The test of the response to the Word, will determine how much, or how little we become like Jesus Christ. In this study we will look at three points that will help us see how we are “doing” regarding the Word of God, for verse 22 says for us to “be doers” of the word and not hearers only, deceiving ourselves: · The Word as a Garden – 1:19-21 · The Word as a Mirror – 1:22-25 · The Word Reflected – 1:26-27 Calvary Chapel of Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

When a temptation comes before us, who do we blame (especially if we fall). Do we blame ourselves, someone else, or do we blame God? If we blame anyone other than ourselves when we fall, then we are destined to repeat this failure over and over, because we don’t take the responsibility for our actions. In this study we will look at four points that will help us have victory in every temptation that comes before us. · The Source of Temptation – 1:12-14 · The Conception of Temptation – 1:14-15 · The Deception of Temptation – 1:16-17 · The Deliverance of Temptation – 1:18 Calvary Chapel of Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

In order to endure a trial and suffering, we must understand trials from God’s perspective, and what He says about them. He says count them all joy, which is a way different perspective that we have on them. In our study we will see four things the Lord wants us to know in and from trials: · The Perspective of Trials – 1:2 · The Purpose of Trials – 1:3-4 · The Power in Trials – 1:5-11 · The Promise from Trials – 1:12 Calvary Chapel of Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

There are only 108 verses in this short Book, yet we will see and hear, 54 imperatives (which are callings to do this, and to do that). It is a “Doing” Book, and if we will do what this Book calls us to do, we will go deeper our Christian maturity, and we will have “A Real Faith, that Shows Up in Real Life” Calvary Chapel of Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

Billy Graham, after all the decades of preaching, was asked, if you could change anything in your past teachings, what would it be: Billy said I would teach more on the blood of Jesus Christ! Billy knew there is power in the blood. Join us today as we study and learn how to apply the power that has been supplied. Calvary Chapel Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

We ended chapter 12 with God being a consuming fire, and start chapter 13 with the calling to let love continue. Love, continual love, to brothers/sister (verse 1), to love strangers (verse 2), and to love our spouse (verses 3-6). God wants our love burn, long and hot. God’s word is always timely, so today may be a good day to fan some flames. Calvary Chapel Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas

We all have our times of bitterness for various dealings in life, and so how do keep the “root of bitterness” from choking out all the sweetness of a God-Life? The answer is coming to the tow Mountains the Lord speaks of in this passage (Mount Sinai, and Mount Calvary). Join us as we discover to choke “out” bitterness, rather than allowing it to choke us out. Calvary Chapel Anne Arundel | Pastor Ray Bollas
