Growth in Christ isn’t for us; it’s for the world! And the world is in desperate need of a savior. What would it look like for us as a church, with people from every generation, to walk in unity and say, “God use us”?

Student Ministry Sunday 2024

In James 2:14-26, we see that there are three different types of faith: dead, detached, and devoted. It is only when we see and experience the love of God for ourselves that we will be compelled to devoted faith, not out of self-preservation but out of gratitude.

Faith That Works // A Genuine Faith

God does not ask us to be the Judge. He is not asking the Church to be his Jury. There is no room for partiality in the family of God. We are all guilty and Christ stands as our defender, offering himself in our place. That is Jesus. That’s how Mercy Triumphs over judgment!

Faith That Works // Mercy Triumphs Over Judgement

Like a fish that is only free in water, we are only truly free to the degree that we refuse to compromise, live in alignment with his Word, and obey Him in all things. There is a difference between hearing and doing. We are called to put the bible into practice.

Faith that Works // Do What it Says

James illustrates through the tales of three men how we can react in the face of our circumstances.  We can be a people who remain steadfast under trial if we cling to Jesus because He remains steadfast. When we avoid suffering, we avoid the opportunity to look like Jesus. Our lives are meant to be a constant submission into the hands of our Creator, like gold in the hands of the Refiner.
