Faith

James is filled with guidance on how to live. But now he pauses to address why it matters. We are saved through faith alone, and yet James talks about how works are also essential. So how does this work? James shows us that our works actually reveal our faith.

Judge Not

The Book of James is all about life change. We are called to be different in the way we speak and live and interact with others. James says this change happens when we meet Christ face to face and it comes through time spent in the Bible. The more we listen to the Word, receive the Word, and live the Word the more we are changed!

Temptations // 3-1-2020

The Great Reversal // 2-23-2020

The book of James calls us to hard things. Some of these things almost seem impossible, but with God's help and His wisdom we can start to see things from a different perspective. If can see all of life, even our finances, in light of eternity like James challenges us to, it will change everything.

Wisdom from Above // 2-16-2020

Even though we live in an age with access to more information than ever before, wisdom, it seems, is is short supply. In fact, many of us don't even really know what wisdom is or where it comes from. Fortunately, God is anxiously awaiting to give us wisdom if we will just ask. Find out how as we continue in our series on the Book of James.

Pure Joy // 2-9-2020

Life is difficult. We all face challenges all the time and for some, it seems like the troubles never end. The Book of James gives us some insights into how we can confront the difficulties of life and how followers of Jesus need to adapt when life doesn’t go our way.

It Matters // 2-2-2020

This week we begin a walk through of the most practical book in the whole New Testament. A short letter entitled "James". While it is short it is very, very powerful, convicting, and even life-changing. You can't read this book without being impacted, which is just what God is planning in this series!

We Choose Focus // 1-26-2020

God has called us to an incredible mission. We are calling everyone to participate and to choose to focus in 2020. We will celebrate all that God is calling us to do together, as one big family We Choose Focus!

Focus on Impact // 1-19-2020

We want our lives to be better and more fulfilled in this new year. Our world tells us that this fulfillment is found in things like jobs, and houses, and success. We know that real fulfillment is found only in Christ, so we want to make sure we share that truth in a more focused way in 2020. This year, everyone is going to share their faith with one person!

Focus on Relationships // 1-12-2020

This life was not meant to be lived in isolation. We are created for relationship and we need to make sure those relationships are strong and vibrant. This year, we are all going to commit to focusing on Godly relationships by getting more connected here at church. We want everyone in a group!

Focus on the Word // 1-5-2020

Focus // 12-29-2019

It's hard to believe that 2019 is almost in the books. In just a few days it will be 2020 and with the new year comes some new ideas and new hopes and new dreams of what God is going to do in all our lives. This week we will celebrate some of what God did in 2019 and we will also look forward to what we hope God is going to do in this new year. It's going to be an amazing opportunity to begin turning our focus toward Him and His plans for all our lives!

Obedience is Hard // 12-22-2019

Obedience is hard. In fact, sometimes, it’s the hardest thing in the world. Our nature and emotions and even our intellect, at times, rebels against the concept of obedience. Joseph was called by God to obey, even when it was hard. He was asked to obey even when it didn't make sense some times. That obedience made all the difference in the world!

Unexpected Detours // 12-15-2019

Sometimes everything seems to go our way. The kids are good. The bonus comes in bigger than anticipated. The Falcons actually win a game. Those days are sweet. Sometimes, though, life throws us a curve ball. We end up taking detours that we never intended to take. Those moments can become dead ends on the journey or they can end up on the highlight reel. It all depends on how we respond to those unexpected detours.

Preparing the Way // 12-8-2019

Preparation is vital to success, so the saying goes. Many of us would agree and have seen this axiom proved true in our own lives. Long before God sent Jesus to that manger in Bethlehem, He prepared His people and even prepared culture to be ready to receive the long-awaited Messiah. The question for us today is this: Are we as prepared for Christmas this year?

Waiting Patiently

When you’re a kid, it seems like Christmas will never arrive. Time seems to slow down this time of year. You decorate and sing and wrap gifts, all in anticipation of that special morning but every day seems to drag on. For children, Christmas is a season of joy but it’s also a season that requires a lot of patience. Since the beginning, God’s people have been told to wait and trust and sometimes it might have seemed like an eternity, but God never failed to show up!
