Today James will address relational brokenness which happens when our inner flesh goes unchecked.

Today we will compare the wisdom the world versus the wisdom that God authors. The one celebrates personal ambition and the other promotes peace for the sake of all.

The way you use your tongue, the words that come out of your mouth, are evidence of your faith and what is going on in your heart. The way you talk will likely make your relationship with Jesus obvious to others.

Can faith that has no evidence of deeds be a saving faith?

James 2:1-13

There are Three Self-deceptions that can derail our lives.

Four Different Hearts: - Hard Heart - Shallow Heart - Crowded Heart - Fruitful Heart

Deception happens when the flesh seeks to redefine truth which ultimately redefines God.
