James #4 : The Crown of Life

Joel Ramsey

Pastor Joel Ramsey walks through the book of James 1:9-12

Today's message looks into four things that don’t care about people’s wealth, position, status, popularity, skin color, or social standing.

1. God

‌Romans 2:11 “11 For God shows no partiality.”

‌2. Satan ‌

1 peter 5:8 “8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” ‌

3. Death ‌

1 peter 5:8 “8 Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.” ‌

4. Trials

‌Eccl 9:11-12 “11 Again I saw that under the sun the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor bread to the wise, nor riches to the intelligent, nor favor to those with knowledge, but time and chance happen to them all. 12 For man does not know his time. Like fish that are taken in an evil net, and like birds that are caught in a snare, so the children of man are snared at an evil time, when it suddenly falls upon them.”

James 1:9–12 (ESV)‌

9 Let the lowly brother boast in his exaltation, 10 and the rich in his humiliation, because like a flower of the grass he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; its flower falls, and its beauty perishes. So also will the rich man fade away in the midst of his pursuits. ‌12 Blessed is the man who remains steadfast under trial, for when he has stood the test he will receive the crown of life, which God has promised to those who love him.
