James Chapter 4 - Who Are You to Judge? // Pastor Dominick Butler “God alone, who gave the law, is the Judge. He alone has the power to save or to destroy. So what right do you have to judge your neighbor?” ‭‭ James‬ ‭4:12‬ ‭NLT‬‬  Matt 7:1-6, brings great harmony and illumination to the above passage from James. The sin in others will either magnify and expose sin in us through a prideful response or the sin in others will birth compassion for intercession for them.    What a night of deliverance from the wounds the enemy had inflicted on souls. Jesus was bruised, internal bleeding to bring liberty and freedom to our hearts & souls; the inner man.    Lord help us to reflect you in all of our relationships and encounters. Reveal the hindrances in our spiritual sight and discernment so we can make righteous judgments.   For More info on Gold Street Garden visit; https://linktr.ee/goldstreetgarden

James 4 - Humble Yourselves // Pastor Dominick Butler   James 4:6; But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”   God opposes the proud, and gives Himself as the gift of Grace to the humble. We must prioritize heart & motive inventory in our prayer lives. Pride is so dangerous and it will give room in your life for the devil to operate. God is looking for those who will humble themselves unto Him fully realizing His wisdom & power.    Humility is getting postured under Christ, turning your gaze towards Him, tuning the ears of your heart completely on the transcendent sound of love, the voice of Jesus.   Psalm 26:2; "Examine me, O Lord, and prove me; try my mind and my heart."   For more info on Gold Street Garden; https://linktr.ee/goldstreetgarden

There is Only One Way (Resurrection Sunday) // Pastor Dominick Butler  Gal 6:14 NLT; "As for me, may I never boast about anything except the cross of our Lord Jesus Christ. Because of that cross, my interest in this world has been crucified, and the world’s interest in me has also died."    1 Cor 1:28-29 NLT; "God chose things despised by the world, things counted as nothing at all, and used them to bring to nothing what the world considers important. 29 As a result, no one can ever boast in the presence of God."   The way you stay fervently in love with Jesus, is by preaching the Gospel to yourself everyday. We can extract and discover all of the beauty, power, and brilliance of God in the crucifixion of Jesus Christ. The very revelation that before the world began, God chose the vehicle of the Cross to show His judgment of Sin, His love for us, and His Perfect Justice. Let us never stop adoring the wonder of eternity, the Perfect Lamb of God, JESUS! For more info on Gold Street Garden; https://linktr.ee/goldstreetgarden

James Chapter 3 - Communication is Creation // Pastor Dominick Butler   *James 3:2; "Indeed, we all make many mistakes. For if we could control our tongues, we would be perfect and could also control ourselves in every other way."  "The words you speak reveal the Kingdom your heart is submitted too."  James Chapter 3 goes in to extreme depth with examples of clear imagery to help us understand the power of our words. Words are spiritual. They were created by God to release the reality inside the orator. God never spoke without the intent of creating. When you realize your words come with consequence, you will then have more caution to the words you speak.    *James 3:16; "For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and every evil thing are there."  Selfishness is the peak of spiritual maturity and the most dominant demonic attribute. We must endeavor to walk in the fullness of Salvation to discover the entirety of His deliverance. The pinnacle of His deliverance is the deliverance of self.   For more info on Gold Street Garden; https://linktr.ee/goldstreetgarden

James Chapter 2 - Faith Without Love is Dead // Pastor Dominick Butler   “But do you want to know, O foolish man, that faith without works is dead?” ‭‭//James‬ ‭2:20‬ ‭NKJV‬‬// The work of God is to love. To love beyond natural ability or human assessment.  Faith without love is dead.  James chapter 2 is flooded with invitations and correction to bring us into a reality of His love that is transcendent to anything we have ever known.  Many say they want to know God, but they aren’t willing to love like He does.  Teach us to love like You, Jesus    For more info on Gold Street Garden; https://linktr.ee/goldstreetgarden

James 1 - How To Approach God's Word // Pastor Dominick Butler  James 1:19-27 (Part 3)  The way you would approach a puppy is vastly different than the way you would approach a full grown  lion.  The way we approach anything determines the way we value and respect what we are approaching.  When we approach God’s word, we must come with a ready ear, surrender, humility and the belief to put to action what He says. “Therefore lay aside all filthiness and overflow of wickedness, and receive with meekness the implanted word, which is able to save your souls. But be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” ‭‭// James‬ ‭1:21-22‬ ‭NKJV‬‬ //   For more info on Gold Street Garden; https://linktr.ee/goldstreetgarden

James Chapter 1 - Overcoming Temptation // Pastor Dominick   James 1:9-18 (Part 2)  "Blessed is the man that endures temptation; for when he has been approved, he shall receive the crown of life, which the Lord has promised to those that love Him." James 1:12 We strengthen the voice of temptation when we feed on the world. We strengthen the voice of conviction when we feed on the Word. Just as Eve was tempted in the garden; when she entertained Satan's words she grew an appetite for sin, how much more can grow an appetite for righteousness if we entertain His Word. We end temptation when we start conversation with God.   For more info on Gold Street Garden; https://linktr.ee/goldstreetgarden

James Chapter 1 - Count it All Joy // Pastor Dominick Butler  We are living in an hour where entertainment & feelings are exalted as idols. This has even creeped into the church causing a deflated Gospel to go forth, void of transformative power, & ultimately keeping a veil over the Beautiful Face of Jesus. It is imperative we let the pure Word of God be spoken by the Spirit w/ Boldness. We as a Body will be going through the Book of James, line upon line.    James 1:2; "My Brethren count it all joy when you fall into various trials."   For more info on Gold Street Garden; https://linktr.ee/goldstreetgarden

Do You Believe This Gospel? // Pastor Dominick Butler  Believing in Jesus is not merely receiving and approving the information on a Wikipedia page. Believing in Jesus is fully submitting to His Lordship and being transformed by His authority. Gal 2:20; Paul exclaims he no longer lives but CHRIST LIVES IN HIM! Is there evidence of Christ’s residence within you? Transformation is the amplification of the Gospel🎤🔥   This message will stoke the flame of the simplicity & infinite power of the Gospel of Jesus Christ   For more info on Gold Street Garden; https://linktr.ee/goldstreetgarden

I Want This Freedom // Pastor Dominick Butler  John 8:36; "Whom the Son sets free is free Indeed." Freedom that's reliant upon anything from this world is not Freedom in Christ. There is a reality of freedom God is calling us into. This is a purchased reality. The Cross & Resurrection have brought a deliverance from bondage into freedom beyond any political or manmade definition of liberty. This message will challenge & enrich your pursuit of discovering the fullness of the Gospel.    For more info on Gold Street Garden; https://linktr.ee/goldstreetgarden
