Whose Side Are You On? | James 4:7-10 | The Book Of James

Are you tired of your "audio" not matching your "video"? In this powerful continuation of our series on the Book of James, Pastor John dives into James 4 to address the gap between what we say we believe and how we actually live. If you’ve been feeling spiritually stuck, struggling with the lures of the world, or wondering why God feels distant, this message offers a clear path back to intimacy with Him. We explore the three main traps the enemy uses—the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life—and how to overcome them through true biblical humility. Discover the beautiful promise that when you take even one small step toward God, He closes the distance to meet you. Join us as we learn what it means to move from being an "enemy of God" to living fully as a son or daughter of the King. There is more grace available for you today than you can imagine.
