First Free Rockford

Part 1

May 1, 2022 • Pastor Luke Uran • James 1:1–8

This week we launch a six-part study of the book of James, the first New Testament book written. Immediately as his letter to the church begins, James addresses one of the most fundamental questions of faith: How do we respond when bad things happen to us?

Part 6

June 5, 2022 • Pastor Luke Uran • James 5:13–20

As our series wraps up, James concludes his letter with an exhortation to pray in some very specific ways. Our spiritual health, and the health of the Church, hang in the balance.

Part 5

May 29, 2022 • Pastor Luke Uran • James 4:1–12

What our world values and what God values are often vastly different. In fact, those conflicting desires are the source of most of our conflict, even as Christians. James points out this problem, but also offers the solution.

Part 4

May 22, 2022 • Pastor Josh Pardee • James 3:1–12

Most of us can remember words spoken over us at various points in our lives -- some destructive, some life-giving. James makes the point that words have the power to form, to change and yes, even to destroy. This week, we look at Christ-honoring ways to steward this immense responsibility.
