James 4:13-17

grapevinesThis message covers the end of James’ fourth chapter; that is, James 4:13-17. I delivered it on the day we honored graduates at FBC of Madisonville, TX. It was appropriate for the graduates because the passage deals with the presumptuousness with which we make our own plans and disregard the fact that we are not powerful enough to make things happen, and the fact that it is God’s will we ought to be pursuing instead of our own. The passage concludes that we often fail simply because we let our plans for an uncertain future interfere with the Lord’s will for our immediate present.
Audio sermons posted to date, including this one, are also freely available on the sermons page, which is also linked on the sidebar, including as an RSS feed (for subscriptions, like with iTunes).
As with every audio link on this blog, you can click the text just left of the playable arrow and the audio will open in a new page, or you can right-click that text and select “save linked file” (or something similar) and download the file to your hard drive, or you can click the little arrow next to an audio file and it will play the sound right on this page. Amazing!
