#305 - The Lord of Hosts Has Heard - James 5.5-6 - Part2

#311 - Bring Them Back - James 5.19-20

The last word in James isn't a goodbye... it's a job. When one of us drifts away from God, slow and quiet until nobody notices they're gone, what does He ask the rest of us to do? In this final message of our James series, we look at the wanderer, the shepherd who goes after the one, and the call that lands on every believer: watch for them, and bring them back.

#310 - When You Cant Take It Anymore - Part 2 - James 5.16b-18

When you can't take it anymore, the prayer you think is too weak to matter is the very prayer that moves the hand of God. In this second half of "When You Can't Take It Anymore," Pastor Brian closes out James with two final answers: trust the power, and take hold. The effective, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much... and that righteous man is simply the believer. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and his prayer shut the sky and opened it again. So whatever you walked in carrying, don't take it sideways and don't carry it alone. Take it to the Lord. Tell the elders. Tend one another. Trust the power. And take hold.

#309 - When You Cant Take It Anymore - James 5.13-16a

Every one of us reaches a point where we can't take it anymore. So what do you do when you get there? In this message from James 5, Pastor Brian walks through the three things James tells us to do when life gets to be too much: take it to the Lord, call for the elders, and care for one another. Whether you're suffering, celebrating, or so worn down you can't even pray for yourself, there's one direction for all of it. The end of yourself is not where God gives up on you. It's where the perfect work of patience gets done.

#308 - The Faith of a Mother - 2 Timothy 1.5

Paul's last letter opens by remembering two women — a grandmother named Lois and a mother named Eunice. From a Roman prison cell, on the edge of his own execution, Paul traces Timothy's faith back to the women who handed it down. In this Mother's Day message, Pastor Brian asks every mother in the room one question: Mom… is your faith still being handed down? Whether your children are in the nursery, in their teenage years, or grown and living their own lives, the work of a mother doesn't have an expiration date. It just changes shape.

#307 - The Judge Is at the Door - Part 2 - James 5.7-12

The waiting is hard. But what you do while you wait reveals everything about what you actually believe. In part two of "The Judge Is at the Door," Pastor Brian Overturf continues in James 5:7-12 with the final two things God asks of His people while they wait for justice. Walk with the witnesses — the prophets who spoke the truth and paid for it, and Job who held on to a God he couldn't explain. And weigh what you say — because a person whose word can't be trusted without an oath has already lost something. The Judge is not on His way. He is standing at the door.
