What Matters Most | John Niewald

MESSAGE NOTES James 4:1 - James is making the claim: You have a bigger problem than your current problem. James 4:2 - James refocuses their attention from their circumstances to their inner life. And says, "Your problem isn't just out there; it's in here." Envy can be so dangerous to human relationships. James 4:2-3 - After James diagnoses their envy, he goes deeper and explains way. James 4:4 - James is wanting us to ask the tough question, "are you just looking out for yourself?" Romans 7:21-23 - James is saying, "you have a heart problem, and you can't fix it on your own." James 4:6 & Proverbs 3:34 - Jesus can solve your biggest problem. God opposes the proud. He stands against those who would say, "I can do it on my own; I'm fine all by myself." but he gives grace to the humble. SCRIPTURE READINGS James4:1-6 | Luke 15:11-22 | Romans 7:21-25a | Genesis 27:30-41 | Genesis 30:1-13 | Genesis 37:16-27 Support the show
