James: True Faith Truly Works – “My Worth is Not in What I Own” (James 1:9-11)

James 1:9-11 (NASB) 9 Now the brother or sister of humble circumstances is to glory in his high position; 10 but the rich person is to glory in his humiliation, because like flowering grass he will pass away. 11 For the sun rises with its scorching heat and withers the grass; and its flower falls off and the beauty of its appearance is destroyed; so also the rich person, in the midst of his pursuits, will die out. Theme: Believers, whether rich or poor, should find their true satisfaction in Jesus Christ above all else. 1) The poor Christian’s boast (1:9) 2) The rich Christian’s boast (1:10-11)
