Dealing with Strife, Pt 4 (Jas 4) by Matthew Christian
Listen 02/04/2024

In chapter 4, James deals with the pride of self, and one’s pursuit of worldly pleasures that contribute to the strife-filled life and a strife-filled church. Essentially, we are to first get right with God, and then get right with fellow believers. James underscores the fundamental principle of humility that is to be foundational to living out a Christocentric, God-honoring faith (Jas 4:6, 10). Until we get right with God by humbling ourselves in His sight, not only will we lack peace of mind, but we will not have peace with others.
