According to a recent Netflix documentary, there are more forgeries of famous paintings hanging in museums than most people suspect. From time to time, these cases come to light. But what about faith in God? The easiest thing to do is to simply say that one is a believer. But where’s the proof? James addressed this, giving four telltale signs to help us spot the genuine from the fake.
You’ve probably been in a situation where there was confusion, even pandemonium, and most people were acting like immature children. What was needed was just one person to act like an adult and bring decorum and civility back. In such situations, one might say, “Where is the adult in the room?” It refers to someone who will behave responsibly in a mature manner. The book of James is about spiritual maturity. It is a call to grow up and not just grow old. James was the adult in the room.
HOW TO KNOW GOD
Curious about what it means to know Jesus? Knowing God doesn't mean trying to be a good person or even going to church. It means accepting the free gift of forgiveness and eternal life made possible by Jesus' death and resurrection. Learn more at calvarynm.church/knowgod

This message really moved me and helped me really understand true faith and works, after I was baptized in 2019 and did my alter call in 2013, I sinned and I fell away from Christ but I came back in the last few years, I never went up again for an alter call but I changed my life well Christ did as I asked him to and confessed and repented and saw how i was not really walking with him. But today this really helped me understand, thank you Skip for always preaching truth and making it understandable for people to understand. Thank you thank you 🙏🏻
God bless you! & Remember pay it forward❤
Thank you pastor Heitzig for this wonderful message. ❤
Thank You Skip for making Works and Faith doctrine clear!

Philippines
I love this sermon! I have struggled with this faith/deeds issue most my life. Thank you for sharing this. God bless!
Very well explained, Pastor, thank you!!! 😊
Ty pastor Skip.
Great message
this is good teaching, God Bless you.
Excellent to hear - in a world where evangelism seems to want to promise a simple confession of belief and you are saved and no works are required.
Excited for another Bible study with Skip! This is one of the few I can really watch online 😅 usually it js doesn’t hit the same
I live near enough to catch a bus, but I've been watching on-line (turns out on-line works best for me.) Pastor Skip along with prayer helps enormously!!❤🙏🙏😉
I am real in Christ Jesus😊1st❤.
Exodus 2:3-10
"3 When she could hide him( Moses😊❤) no longer, she took for him a basket made of bulrushes and daubed it with bitumen and pitch. She put the child in it and placed it among the reeds by the river bank.
4 And his sister stood at a distance to know what would be done to him.
5 Now the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river, while her young women walked beside the river. She saw the basket among the reeds and sent her servant woman, and she took it.
6 When she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby was crying. She took pity on him and said, " This is the one of the Hebrews' children."
7 Then his sister said to Pharaoh's daughter, " Shall I go and call you a nurse from the Hebrew women to nurse the child for you?"
8 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her,
" Go."
So the girl went and called the child's mother.
9 And Pharaoh's daughter said to her, " Take this child away and nurse him for me, and I will give you your wages." So the woman took the child and nursed him.
10 When the child grew older, she brought him to Pharaoh's daughter, and he became her son. She named him Moses,
" Because, " she said, " I drew him out of the water."( Exodus 2:3-10 ESV Study Bible Speaking of "...water." from Exodus 2:10 b ESV Study Bible. It reminds me about John 4:13-14😊❤
"13 Jesus(😊1st❤ our Lord and our savior in Christ) said to her( woman of Samaria), " Everyone😊❤ who drinks of this water will be thirsty again,
14 but😊❤ whoever( or anyone😊❤)
drinks of
the water😊❤ that I will give❤

"31 Then he(Jesus 😊1st❤)
returned from the region of Tyre and went through Sidon to the Sea of Galilee, in the region of the Decapolis.
32 And they bought to him a man who was deaf and had a speech impediment, and they begged him to lay his hand on him.
33 And taking him aside from the crowd privately, he put his fingers❤
into his ears, and after spitting touched his tongue.
34 And looking up to heaven, he ( Jesus 😊1st❤) signed and said to him, " Ephphatha," that is, "Be opened."
35 And his ears were opened, his tongue was released, and he spoke plainly.
36 And Jesus(😊1st❤) charged them to tell no one. But the more he charged them,
the more zealously they proclaimed it.
37 And they were astonished beyond measure, saying,
" He has done all things❤ well😊❤. He even makes
the deaf hear 😊❤
and the mute speak😊❤

"37 And they were astonished..."( ESV Study Bible)
" The People are astonished in the sense that they wonder whether Jesus(😊1st❤) is the Messiah( see Isaiah 35:5-6😊❤). They are not expecting a suffering Messiah but rather a political liberator along the lines of the earlier Maccabean uprising( 166-160 B.C.)."( ESV Study Bible).

13 When he went out the next day, behold two Hebrews were struggleling together. And he said to the man in the wrong, " Why do you strike your companion? "
14 He answered, " Who made you a prince and a judge over us?
Do you mean to kill me as you killed the Egyptian? " Then Moses was afraid, and thought, " Surely the thing is known."

"8 In those days, when again a great crowd had gathered, and they had nothing to eat,
he (Jesus😊1st❤)
called his disciples to him and said to them,
2 " I have compassion to the crowd, because they have been with me now and three days and have nothing to eat.
3 And if I send them away hungry to their homes, they will faint on the way. And some of them have come from far away."
4 And his disciples answered him, " How can one feed these people with bread here in this desolate place? "
5 And he asked them, " How many loaves do you have? "
They said, " Seven."
6 And he directed the crowd to sit down on the ground. And he took the seven loaves, and having thanks, he broken them and gave them to his disciples to set before the people; and they set them before the crowd.
7 And they had a few small fish. And having blessed them, he said that these also should be set before them.
8 And they ate and were satisfied. And they took up the broken pieces left over, seven baskets full.
9 And there were about four thousand people. And he sent them away.
10 Immediately he got into the boat with his disciples and went to the district of Dalmanutha."( Mark 8:1-10 ESV Study Bible)
Wonderful altar call 😊❤

Works and Faith are needed for Salvation in the letter of James = James 2:14
James is writing to the 12 tribes of Israel = James 1:1
20:04 for me it would be Blakes burgers 😂❤❤❤ lol

Oh my word, as a widow I can tell you how Christians do not help. I personally feel the church let's widows down big time!!! My bible study groups ask how I am. "Well ..I injured my back, can barely move. Can't sleep, can't do chores, can't look after my yard". Response: "well I will pray for you"... And they did with NO offers of help
in any form. I might add ten weeks of healing, weekly study, No help. Incredulous, so do not be like that. Help those who need help.
Please pray for my family and I,we desperately need to find a new place to live and we can't find one, thank you and God bless you!!!!
When will Skip continue the teachings on James?
💕🙏💕
I pray the church of Jesus will not only have faith in God, but holymess for God. To live as we believe. Jesus died for us if we believe this we must live it also. kill the sin in us.
I would rather play my guitar here at the Casino
This makes me question if I'm saved and I've been so bothered too because I have asked myself this same question. Am I saved and is it showing in my life? You can read the Bible front and back and memorize it but without relationship with Jesus it's useless.
Obeying despite of consequence is reminiscent of Mary Magdalene at the feet of Jesus while Martha ridicules her for not helping with the chores, Jesus replied beautifully.
Any advice on what one should do when the demons ask them to "save them"? Besides know that Christ Jesus saves.
Seems to me, Luther has disagreed on many things about the Bible, how are people like that truly saved? First his antisemitism then his misunderstanding of God's grace and faithfulness towards us.
How do we bear the fruits of the Holy Spirit?? By our works which is a production of our faith in Christ. Paul and James compliment each other not contradict.
Deuteronomy 8:2😊❤ and John 14:6😊❤ praise to the Lord( Jesus😊1st❤ ) and thank God for the book of James😊❤ . Jesus😊1st❤ and us😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊❤ in Christ.
Jesus' blood😊❤ and the Good Holy Spirit😊❤in Christ.

of Abraham😊❤, the God (😊100%❤) of Isaac (😊❤) and the God (😊100%❤) of Jacob (😊❤), has sent me to you.'

20 So I will stretch out my hand and strike the Egypt with all the wonders that I will do in it, after that he will let you go.
21 Ane I will givr this people favoele in the sight of the Egyptians; and when you go, you shall not go empty,

So you shall plunder the Egyptians."( Exodus 3:13-22 ESV Study Bible)
