November 5, 2023 • Stu Quackenbush • James 5:13–20
Finishing our series in James, Stu Quakenbush walks us through the difficult conversation of prayer and suffering. Instead of asking “how is your prayer life”, he invites us to consider the question “who is Jesus?”
Facade of Control
October 29, 2023 • Steve High • James 4:13–17
We all love control. But what if control is just an illusion. Using text from James 4, Steve High challenges us to consider areas of our life where we have edged God out to claim our own authority.
Suffering and Joy
October 22, 2023 • Louie Konopka • James 5:1–12
Suffering is universal, but lacking joy doesn’t have to be. Louie Konopka reminds us that joy comes when you enter God’s story with your story.
Hearts at War
October 15, 2023 • Gary Heim • James 4:1–12
We all want to be loved. We all want to be respected. How do we respond when those desires are not met? Using text from James 4, Gary Heim encourages us to take internal steps towards resolving conflicts before they start.
Taming the Tongue
October 8, 2023 • Andrew Bauer • James 3:1–12
What we say matters. Are our words bringing death to those around us or are we bringing life? Continuing in James, Andrew Bauer challenges us to consider the power of our words.
A Living Faith
October 1, 2023 • Trevor Hunt • James 2:14–26
Is your faith on cruise control? Do you know your destination yet find yourself coasting along and missing significant moments that can bless others? Trevor Hunt helps us understand the direct connection between faith, gratitude, and works as we study the next section of the book of James.
Poison of Partiality
September 24, 2023 • Ben Phebus • James 2:1–13
We all do it without even thinking. Someone new walks in the room and we make judgments based on the way they look, talk, or carry themselves. Ben Phebus unpacks the next section of James and invites us to see people and love them the way God does.
Listen and Act
September 17, 2023 • Trent Heaton • James 1:19–27
How much of our lives are bent towards more, faster, more, faster? Continuing in James, Trent Heaton challenges us to slow our pace and respond to the good news of Jesus.
Joy in Trials
September 10, 2023 • Stu Quackenbush • James 1:1–6
Kicking off our series on James, Stu Quackenbush invites us to consider that during seasons of great sorrow or pain we can find even greater joy in Christ.
