This Sunday, we completed our series on the book of James.
In this last message from the book of James, we looked at the power of community for growing in our faith and we'll examine the four necessary ingredients of biblical community.
We also learned about the power of prayer, and how radical confession and accountability in community can help us live in freedom.

Wealthy & Wise
January 6, 2019 • Pastor Ben Cross
We continued in James this Sunday, and we explored a topic that quickly reveals our focus, priorities, and http://values...money. Money can be a sensitive topic, and James pulls no punches as he describes the consequences of misusing and mishandling wealth as well as how to honor God with money. The start of the new year is a perfect time to look at how we deal with money, and James has timeless wisdom that will help you handle your finances in a way that honors God in 2019.
For the Joy Set Before Us
December 30, 2018 • Pastor Sandy Park
This Sunday, we continued in the book of James, and this passage is all about how to live with patience in the middle of suffering. James writes to a people where the idea of suffering wasn't just theological or theoretical, it was their life. As we'll learn in this message, James teaches about how to live in the face of suffering with a confidence and centeredness that only comes from knowing God.
Playing God
December 16, 2018 • Pastor Ben Cross
This Sunday, we continued in the book of James and looked at three ways we can start to play God... sometimes without even realizing it. In just two short verses, James uses the word "judge" six times as he confronts the way we typically judge others. James pulls off the mask of superiority and religiosity and goes right to the heart in a convicting and compelling way. We’ll also look at the intersection between pride and planning. We’ll learn how to plan in life in a way that honors God and lives with humility before him.
