COMPLETE IN OUR LIFE ADMIN
Bible Reading: James 4:13-5:6
Big Idea: Life is but a mist so make room for God’s sovereignty and learn to do his good.
1. How to Plan Without God (James 4:13-17)
- Living Like We Are in Control — forgetting God’s sovereignty.
- Forgetting Who We Are — our life is a mist.
- Knowing Better but Not Doing Better — failing to plan for God’s good.
Antidote: Begin with, If the Lord wills… to shape plans around God’s purposes.
2. Pursuing Wealth Over God (James 5:1-6)
- James warns against envying the wealthy oppressor.
- God hears the cries of the exploited.
Antidote: Be rich in faith and good deeds, not just in possessions.
