The War Within You

October 30, 2016 Speaker: Kevin Deyette Series: James: Faith Worth Living

Passage: James 4:1–12

Sermon Title: The War Within You
Text: James 4:1-12


Notes:

Godliness = God is at the center of your heart, your primary motivation.
Worldliness = God is marginalized and something else is your primary motivation.

  • Unanswered prayer is a sign of wordiness in your heart.
  • God is not jealous ABOUT you- He’s jealous FOR you.

“His jealousy does not from fear or weakness but from a holy indignation at having his honor and power and mercy scorned by the faithlessness of a fickle spouse.” - John Piper

How To Win the Battle Between Worldliness and Godliness:

  1. Submit to God
    Resist the devil
    Pursue God
    Get serious about sin
  2. Humble Yourself
  3. Redeem your words
