TUESDAY GATHERING: Who is Jesus? Learning Party

The Challenge: within the next five months go through Jesus: Who is he? (or another bible study) with some friends who do not regularly attend church. If you love God and you love others then you will go make Jesus-followers; it's your job. If you are not sure about loving God, then we who are sure will challenge you to love him and follow him; that is our job.

SERMON NOTES—A LIFE TRANSFORMED BY FAITH: the book of James
The Marks of a Mature Person, Part 1
An Introduction to the book of James
Pastor Charlie
February 12, 2006


WHAT MATURITY IS NOT:

  • Maturity is not age.
  • Maturity is not appearance.
  • Maturity is not achievement.
  • Maturity is not education.

1. A Mature Person Is Positive Under Pressure (1:2-4).
2. A Mature Person Is Sensitive To People (2:8). Matthew 25:34-37, 40
3. A Mature Person Has Mastered His Mouth (3:2). Ephesians 4:29
4. A Mature Person Is A Peacemaker Not A Troublemaker (4:1).

Causes of conflict:
  • selfishness (4:3) Proverbs 13:10
  • judging others (4:11-12)

Why not judge others:
  • You are not God.
  • Only God has all the facts.
  • You don't know the motives.

5. A Mature Person Is Patient And Prayerful (5:7, 16).
