The Teleios Principle

Speaker: Pastor Joshua Hughes
Text: James 4:1-12

Big idea: The teleios principle: whole people are peaceable people, but passions at war produce people at war. 

We are a people at war with others

We are a people at war with God

Case Studies of Passions at War: 1 - Disordered Desire
- Desire is mismanaged
- Desire is misdirected

Case Studies of Passions at War: #2 - Worldliness

Case Studies of Passions at War #3 - Pride

Case Studies of Passions at War #4 - Judgmentalism

To move toward wholeness, get low before God

To move toward wholeness, get close to God

To move toward wholeness, get honest with God
