Kill or Be Killed

James 1:13-18

October 21, 2018 • Jacob Jacobson

A few weeks ago, we started a new sermon series on the book of James. We'll be in this series through Christmas, and so far we've learned about how facing suffering and trial in a way that grows our faith.

This Sunday's passage builds on that theme and focuses on how to deal (and how not to deal!) with temptation.

It's a challenging passage that confronts us with the reality of who we are and shows us the grace that God gives to people in the struggle.

We explored how to face temptation well this Sunday, with an even better view of our of our consistent and unchanging God.

Doing Life Together

January 13, 2019 • Pastor Ben Cross

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.
