Making a Difference
A Study in the Book of James
Making Others Aware
July 29, 2020 | Pastor Carlos Pasillas
What does James teach us about our impact on others? How can we get people's attention? We continue in James 3:13-18.
Making a Mess
July 22, 2020 | Pastor Carlos Pasillas
How often have we said something and it didn't go well? Our mouths can often say things that hurt others. James shares with us again how we as Christians can make a difference. We will be studying James 3: 1-12.
Making an Impression

James reminds us once more about how we are or are not making a difference with our Christianity. James 2:14-26 explains what the difference is of a life full of faith, yet has nothing to show forth. Christian is not just a label, but a people representing Jesus Christ.
Making Progress

Today we’ll begin looking at James 2:1-13. What does James think when it comes to how we treat one another? Are we making a difference in how we interact with everyone?
Making It Up
July 1, 2020 | Pastor Carlos Pasillas
James once again is reminding us about Jesus on the Sermon of the Mount when he talks about this part of James 1:19-27. How much effect do our words have on others and do our words reflect what Jesus said on the Sermon on the Mount? As Christians, James is reminding us again that our religion is not based on outward performances rather on daily living out our Christian faith.
Making an Excuse

Temptation, what is it? We will be looking at what advice James gives us about temptation. What principles do we find in the Bible that help us resist temptation?
Making a Difference

We know very little of James but what tradition has told us was that James was the physical brother of Jesus. When you read his letter, you begin to hear a little of Jesus and his upbringing. James wanted his listeners to be both spiritual and practical. He wanted you to know that when you read his letter you wouldn’t say ‘oh how nice’ rather it shows us ‘how to be nice.’
