An Introduction to the Book of James

Mike Sullivan

2 Timothy 1:13-2:2

The Book of James is different than most of the other New Testament books especially in its tone. Other writers of NT letters were balanced between what God has done for us and what we can do for God. James, on the other hand, focuses strongly on what we can do for God. He emphatically urges us to be doers of the Word. He was aware of the extreme need the dispersed believers were experiencing as they fled persecution in Jerusalem. His tone was different also because he was reaching a different audience than other writers. He was urging Jewish Christians to remove cultural barriers to the gospel so that the gospel could reach as many people as possible.

Leaving the Nest

Scott Risley

Mark 6:1-13

The disciples have spent over a year learning from the Master. Now it's time for them to go out and put into practice what they have learned. Jesus sends them out on their first mission and gives them specific instructions about how to serve as his representative. We'll study his instructions and draw application for our lives today.

The Role of the Holy Spirit in Sharing Christ

Gary DeLashmutt

Acts 1:8

The book of Acts unfolds the multi-faceted ways the Holy Spirit enables us to be Jesus' witnesses: 1) He guides us into opportunities to share; 2) He gives us courage and articulation as we share; 3) He convicts people of their need for Jesus; 4) He enables us to do confirming deeds of love; and 5) He encourages us when we experience opposition.\r\n

How the Holy Spirit Empowers Us to Witness

Mike Sullivan

Acts 1:8

The new testament makes clear that God's plan for spreading the gospel is that believers should be his witnesses; we do not do so by our own power, but through the power of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit empowers us by guiding us and opening doors for the gospel, providing us with wisdom and the courage to speak, convicting and drawing people to Jesus, and confirming the truth of our message.

The Holy Spirit & the Mission of Jesus

Mike Sullivan

Acts 1:8

The Bible makes clear that Jesus lived his life and carried out his mission through dependence on the Holy Spirit. Likewise, Christians should live lives of purpose, carrying out our God-given mission of sharing the gospel, with much prayer and dependence on the Holy Spirit to work within and through us.

Excellent Behavior

Ben Foust

1 Peter 2:11-25

Peter advises the church how to respond when being slandered. Rather than retaliate, he tells them to live such good lives that their critics' accusations fall flat and people may come to faith in Christ. Likewise, believers today can show Jesus' love to the world by what we do.

The Mission of the Church

Conrad Hilario

Romans 15:15-21

Paul explains that worshipping God is not just something Christians do on Sunday, but rather should encompass our entire lives. It should involve offering God praise, thanksgiving, and material resources, but the crucial part is sharing the message of Jesus with the world. This is controversial in today's culture, but is the only reasonable response if the Bible is true--and it is the central mission of the church.

Sharing God's Message with the World

James Rochford

Romans 15:3-20

After decades of following Christ, Paul is still as passionate as ever about sharing the Gospel with the world. We can cultivate a similar, livelong zeal by spending regular time in God's Word, actively trusting in God's promises, and enjoying unity in fellowship with other believers. Although the mission of evangelism put forth by the Bible is unpopular in today's climate of cultural relativism, when we examine different worldviews closely, we see the the Biblical worldview is the only one that is based on evidence and reason, brings humility and love into our lives, and brings healing and help to a world that desperately needs it.
