Faith & Works

February 4, 2024 • Brad Holmes • James 2:14–26

Pastor Brad Holmes continues our Make it Real sermon series with a challenge from James to examine our faith. We discover that real faith moves us to act, changes us, and challenges us to trust God. We are reminded to see our lives through the lens of the gospel and God's mercy towards us. If we have experienced God's grace, we live out that grace through our words and actions.

Faith & Endurance

March 3, 2024 • Aaron Buer • James 5:7–20

Pastor Aaron Buer concludes our sermon series, Make it Real, by discussing how our faith can help us endure hard times. We are encouraged to see the gifts God provides during our hardest seasons and remember the promise that God will one day make all things new. We are reminded to bring every emotion, including our darkest ones, to God in prayer. As we turn to God in every situation, he meets us and helps us endure.

Faith & Wealth

February 25, 2024 • Aaron Buer • James 4:13–17, James 5:1–6

Pastor Aaron Buer continues our Make it Real sermon series by teaching how our faith impacts our view of finances and possessions. We are encouraged to invite God in early in our decisions and put our hope in the right places. We are challenged to live rightly in all areas and set limits on what we accumulate. We are reminded that practices such as gratitude, giving and denying ourselves help us live with God’s purposes in mind and guard against self-absorption.

Faith & Desire

February 18, 2024 • Aaron Buer • James 4:1–10

Pastor Aaron Buer continues our Make it Real sermon series by teaching how our faith impacts our desires. We are challenged to consider what we want, where we go, and how to get back. We are encouraged that when we return, God is waiting and offers more grace. We are challenged to submit to God, resist the enemy, pursue God and his Word and turn to him and repent.
