316 Ministry - Spirit in Motion – Focus on what’s important
The Book of James in the Bible, hits us right in the face with this ominous truth. When we are living a worldly lifestyle, we set ourselves against the will of God and miss out on God’s wisdom and guidance.
We are put into this world, not by our choice but by God’s choice. We begin with a soul full of sin because of the fall in the beginning, but through understanding of God’s grace, we are expected to rise above that worldly understanding to a position near God.
Worldly sin and disobedience to God separates us from knowing God and earning his guidance and blessing.
Ok, so how can we access the Spirit inside of us and live set apart from the world, the world that we are expected to live in?
We desire so many things in the world. Relationships, friends, achievements, awards, attention, and many other things. We are surrounded by a culture that tell us “Treat yourself”, and “do whatever you want to do”, and “be true to yourselves.” But, living in a manner that chases those ideas can actually lead to some very dark places. Chasing after the temporary things of this world finds us more alone and more depressed than before because those desires don’t truly satisfy.
Our Primary Scripture Today will be:
James 4:1-12

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
