Believe it or not, how we communicate with each other can have a profound effect on our spiritual life.  This passage of the Bible is one of the most practical sections in James and is something that I’m sure each of us can put into practice right away.  I hope that this message is helpful and useful to you.  God bless you.

This is message #4 in an ongoing series of teaching on the New Testament book of James.  This Sunday’s message focuses on temptation and our tendency to try to blame others for our sin.  If this message is encouraging to you feel free to shoot a message my way.  God bless!

This is message #3 in an ongoing in-depth teaching series on the book of James.  What happens in the church when people of significant wealth mix with those of humble means?  Such was the state of the 1st century church.  James deals with these challenges head-on throughout the book.  He also has advice for the rich and for the poor.  The most critical question for us today is this: to which group do we belong?  How should we act and conduct ourselves now that we are in the 20th century.  I hope that this message is an encouragement to you!  God bless.

This is message #2 in the ongoing in-depth teaching series on the book of James.  Understanding how to deal with challenges requires a lot of wisdom.  The author, James, gives us some idea on where to get more wisdom and how to use it.  I hope that this message is encouraging to you.  If you have any questions about this message or anything about the book of James please consider contacting me at phil@lifepointchurch.com.

This message is the first in an ongoing in-depth teaching series on the book of James.  This message sets up the whole teaching series by establishing a good foundation for the study.  Pay careful attention to the context of the epistle, understanding who the author is and who he is writing to.  I hope that this is an encouragement to you.  God bless!

Last week a giant tree fell right onto my office.  It was big news!  Not only was my office demolished but all of our administrative offices are closed and will probably be off limits for the LifePoint staff team for a few weeks or even a month or more.  This is definitely an inconvenient development.  The question is, “what do we do when trials come our way?”  What is our best response.  In this standalone message I hope to answer that question and give some encouragement for believers facing challenges each day.  I hope this message is a blessing to you.

This message is a follow-up from last week.  I think that we were all challenged on the topic of being deeply in debt as believers.  This week I share 6 steps to getting yourself free from debt and on to financial freedom.  It’s not easy – I know that from experience.  My wife and I were pretty deep in debt in 2005 and it took us two and half years to become debt free (we sold our house, that helped).   I hope that this message is encouraging to everyone that takes the time to listen to it.  If you would rather read it here is the transcript.

This week at LifePoint I started a new teaching series called, “If Money Talks…What’s Yours Say About U?”  It’s a 4 week series on the topic of money.  I think that a lot of people are surprised to find out that the Bible has plenty to say about money.  Our first message in the series was on the topic of Debt.  I hope that you enjoy this message and I hope that it is encouraging to you.  If you have any questions about the material or the message please feel free to drop me a line.
