Flushing Out Favoritism

James 2:1-9 Thank you for joining us for this teaching from James chapter 2. As you know, James is a very practical book. When you read something in James, you aren’t usually asking yourself what he means by this. How can we put this into practice? In James, what he means and how we should live […]
Living a Godly Life

Psalm 1 The beginning of a new year is often a time for looking ahead. What are you anticipating in 2025? The future can be exciting; it can also be scary. There’s so much you and I can’t know in the future, and sometimes the unknown is frightening. You and I have fears of bad […]

Radical Discipleship

Mark 9:42-50 “You’re a radical!” No one wants to be called that. It’s a word that makes us uncomfortable. It suggests extremes in viewpoints, habits, beliefs, lifestyles, or institutions.
