James warns believers against slandering and judging others. Instead, we're called to speak with compassion, address offenses biblically and build one another up. He also challenges us to surrender our plans to God’s will and faithfully do the good He has called us to do.

Acts 26:24–32 marks a crossroad in Paul's defense before King Agrippa. After faithfully sharing his testimony and proclaiming the risen Christ, Paul reminds us that our responsibility is to faithfully proclaim God's truth and trust Him with the results.

Today we hear the unfiltered truth from James that in order for us to achieve a true relationship with God we must turn our backs to sin and cling to salvation through Jesus Christ.

It is easy to claim to be wise, but the wisdom of Jesus is revealed through a life that reflects His character. Real faith is not merely heard in our words; it is demonstrated by the way we live.

Tonight, as we gather, we will pray for God's church and our VBS team, asking God to work through every classroom, every volunteer, and every lesson so that every family and every child will experience the love of Christ, and that He would bring forth a harvest of lasting fruit for His glory.

Tonight we see Jesus issuing caution to those that were bringing disunity and division to the church. With practical ways that we can build one another up and to be mindful how we tear others down.

Have you ever heard the phrase, "You don't know what you don't know?" When we're living in darkness, we are completely blind to the truth. We are ignorant but believe we are wise. Join us this Wednesday to explore God's Word in pursuit of truth and wisdom that can come only through fellowship with Jesus Christ.

Today we learn a great lesson from James that faith is an action word. Join us as we go deeper into what it means to live differently for Jesus Christ.

James 2:1–13 calls the church to reflect the character of Jesus: no favoritism, no class system, and no ranking of worth only mercy that flows from a faith that is truly alive and active. Faith becomes visible in how we “seat” people in our hearts correctly.

This week, the second half of James Chapter 1 will challenge us to put our faith into action. He’ll remind us we can’t just listen to God's word, we must “do it” by allowing God’s Word to transform our behavior and the way we live our lives.
