James 1:1-8 Introduction
Pastor Phil Ballmaier
10-19-16The James who wrote the epistle that bears his name is regarded by most, if not all evangelicals, to be James the half-brother of the Lord Jesus Christ. James was not a follower of Jesus during His earthly ministry but became a believer after His resurrection. James went on to become the lead pastor of the church in Jerusalem. He was the one who made the deciding speech at the Jerusalem Council (15:13–22), and Paul called James one of the pillars of the church (Galatians 2:9).
The Book of James challenges us to walk in faith and obedience as doers of the Word and not hearers only. It is a radical call to commitment for those who are followers of Jesus Christ.

14. 2 Samuel 6:20-23 Unequally Yoked-Part 2014-2 Samuel 6:20-23Unequally Yoked-Part 2Pastor Phil Ballmaier10-16-16The Book of 2 Samuel chronicles David’s rise to power as Israel’s second, and possibly greatest king in their history. His reign covered forty years (seven in Hebron over the tribe of Judah; and thirty-three years as king over all of Israel). David’s reign, although glorious, wasn’t free from controversy and shame. His sin with Bathsheba, the rebellion in his own family with regard to Absalom and his numbering of the people leading to God’s judgment were a few of the darker events of David’s later years as king.Approximately half of the book tells of King David’s success and the other half shows his failures. Overall the Holy Spirit lifts David up in the pages of Scripture as a man after God’s heart—a man who loved God and never worshiped an idol. And as such he became the standard the Lord used to judge all the other kings of Israel and Judah by—the degree to which “they walked in the steps of their father David.”

Join us as Pastor Phil continues in the Book of Exodus.
The Book of Genesis ended with the death of Joseph in Egypt but not before he made the children of Israel promise that when God delivered them out of Egypt, they would take his bones with them into the Promised Land. The Book of Exodus is the continuation of the Book of Genesis which is why the Hebrew text begins with the word “And”.The word ‘exodus’ means exit, and the theme of the book is deliverance. However you can’t have deliverance without a deliverer. And therefore the principle figure around which the book is built is God’s deliverer, Moses. God will use Moses to lead His people out of the bondage of Egypt just as He would someday use Jesus to lead His people out of the bondage of sin and death. - Oct 9, 2016SM-Joe Carey – Islam and The Last Days (10-9-16)
