The Urgency of Eternity
June 13, 2021 • Pastor Dave Koop
As we look at this section of James, we see two groups of people who have different perspectives of eternity: those who ignore the coming of the Lord and those who patiently look forward to eternity and act with urgency knowing this life is but a vapour.
Faith and Our Priorities
June 6, 2021 • Pastor Dave Koop

Dealing With Relational Conflicts
May 30, 2021 • Pastor Dave Koop
Dealing with relational conflicts is a spiritual battle and the trials of life can amplify tensions that exist. However, we can work through conflicts and develop healthy relationships if we put our trust in God’s word, walk in humility and treat each other with respect.
Wisdom For A Better Life
May 23, 2021 • Pastor Dave Koop
Just as James exhorts believers to demonstrate their faith through works, he also calls for the demonstration of wisdom by godly living. In chapter three, James compares two types of wisdoms. One comes from God and is pure and promotes peace, ending in order. But the other is driven by envy and self-seeking resulting in confusion and chaos.
Harnessing The Power of Your Tongue

Faith Shows No Favoritism
April 25, 2021 • Pastor Dave Koop
For James, faith and favoritism cannot coexist. God calls us to love one another, just as He loves. Partiality, favoritism and discrimination against others have no place in the kingdom of God.
Faith Qualities
April 18, 2021 • Pastor Dave Koop
James gives some key qualities we need to have in our faith as we encounter trials and temptations in our life.
Faith That Overcomes
April 11, 2021 • Pastor Dave Koop
The Book of James was written to a church that was scattered and couldn’t assemble together due to circumstances beyond their control. Today, like the early church, we are experiencing similar challenges. Trials, temptations, conflicts and the pressures of life are inevitable, but God will empower us to persevere as we live by faith waiting for Christ’s return.
