1 Living Out My Faith In Jesus - James Week #7 Week 1 Overcoming Trials and Temptations Week 2 Hearing and Doing the Word Week 3 Living the Law of Love No Discrimination Week 4 A Faith that Works Week 5 Taming The Tongue Week 6 Choosing the Road Named Godly Wisdom Submitting to God (overcoming selfishness) James 4:1-12 Pastor Dan 10/29/17
2 No Man Can Tame the Tongue But God Can! Taming the tongues requires surrender and submission of our tongues to the Lord. 8 no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison. James 3:8 With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible. (Jesus) Matt 19:26
3 Choosing the Road Named Godly Wisdom James 3:13-18 Choosing the right road of Godly wisdom requires surrendering Me and submitting to Jesus and His ways The Broad Road The Road of Earthly Wisdom is All About Me Only Two Roads The Narrow Road The Road of Godly Wisdom is All About Jesus
4 Submitting to God James 4:1-12 What causes fights and quarrels among you? Don t they come from your desires that battle within you? 2 You desire but do not have, so you kill. You covet but you cannot get what you want, so you quarrel and fight. You do not have because you do not ask God. 3 When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures. 4 You adulterous people, don t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.
5 Submitting to God James 4: Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you double-minded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. 11 Brothers and sisters, do not slander one another. Anyone who speaks against a brother or sister or judges them speaks against the law and judges it. When you judge the law, you are not keeping it, but sitting in judgment on it. 12 There is only one Lawgiver and Judge, the one who is able to save and destroy. But you who are you to judge your neighbor?
6 Fights and Quarrels: Caused by Our Selfish Desires The Unholy Selfish Trinity of Me, Myself, and I James 4:1-3
7 Who Do We Become in a Fight? A turtle: You withdraw inside yourself. A deer: You get away as fast as you can. A shark: You go for blood. A donkey: You stand your ground and don't budge. A chameleon: You give them whatever they want. An elephant: You give in, but you never forget. 20 Rules For Marriage Dr Steve Stevens
8 How Do We Deal With the Emotion of Anger? In your anger do not sin : Do not let the sun go down while you are still angry, and do not give the devil a foothold. Eph 4:26-27 Human anger does not produce the righteousness that God desires. James 1:20 Always maintain the basic respect of the person The person is not the problem separate the two Ask the Holy Spirit s help to deal with the anger and conflict with the right attitude so it does not lead to sin. James 4:2-3
9 Do Not Slander, Speak Against, or Judge Others James 4:11-12 Do not judge, or you too will be judged. 2 For in the same way you judge others, you will be judged, and with the measure you use, it will be measured to you. Matt 7: 1-2 Here's one way I can know that I've forgotten the gospel of grace: when your sin bothers me more than my sin. Tullian Tchividjian Mercy (grace) triumphs over judgment. James 2:13
10 The World s Selfish Prideful Culture is Against God 4 You adulterous people, don t you know that friendship with the world means enmity against God? Therefore, anyone who chooses to be a friend of the world becomes an enemy of God. 5 Or do you think Scripture says without reason that he jealously longs for the spirit he has caused to dwell in us? 6 But he gives us more grace. That is why Scripture says: God opposes the proud but shows favor to the humble.
11 Repent of Selfishness and Submit to God 7 Submit yourselves, then, to God. Resist the devil, and he will flee from you. 8 Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts, you doubleminded. 9 Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom. 10 Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up. Initial Submission Continuing Submission
