Faith That Works
Studies in James
Blessing and Misery
July 28, 2018 • Aaron Buer
Aaron Buer, Pastor of Student Ministries, takes us through a difficult passage in James. The conversation considers four practices about the way we choose to use and steward the resources God gifts to us. We learn that there are ways we can manage our resources that invite God’s blessing and ways that invite misery, both for us and the people around us.
Beyond Conflict
June 23, 2018 • Jeff Manion
Pastor Jeff Manion shows us the way to move beyond conflict according to James. Conflict comes from our selfish desires. As Christians, we represent Jesus. Our conflict makes him look bad. The path toward restoration with God and each other comes through humility and trust.
The Art of Self Deception
June 10, 2018 • Jeff Manion
Pastor Jeff Manion helps us realize how we deceive ourselves. In this conversation we see how we can listen to something and think it has made a difference in our lives. James tells us that only when we change the way we relate to others have we actually put our faith into action.
Scattered
May 27, 2018 • Brad Holmes
Union Pastor Brad Holmes introduces us to the book of James. This book is written to a group of people facing significant trials. We see that James writes to encourage the people, even in the midst of their challenges to grow their faith. There are three important choices they needed to make to choose joy, trust God and to endure.
