What does it mean to pray ‘in the name of the Lord’? What is the ‘prayer offered in faith’? Will those who are sick be healed if they have enough faith or those praying for them have enough faith? These are some of the questions this sermon addresses from James 5:13-18.

How would the world look differently today if all your prayers this past week had been answered? In this week's message Pastor Ashwin Ramani speaks from Acts 4. Because of the early church's bold prayers, the world changed drastically within the span of one generation. Throughout history, every time the church has been on the defensive it has been to great detriment. Instead, let us pray on the offence! Bold prayers rooted in God's character and God's word will change us, our nation, and the world.

Prayer isn’t part of the Christian life; it IS the Christian life because prayer is all about being in relationship with or communicating with God. Why is prayer important? Does prayer make a difference? These questions are of this sermon from James 5.

In our world today there is a general pessimism about family - so much so that many members of the younger generations are giving up on the institutions of marriage and family altogether. In this message Pastor Ashwin Ramani speaks from Psalm 128, revealing the beautiful plan for family found in the Bible. When we are living our lives in surrender to Christ, we do not face marriage and family alone. Instead, we have all the resources of heaven to call on! God wants to bless our families and has given us guidelines to help these important relationships to thrive.

Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble.” (John 16:33) We face hardships, disappointments and suffering. We will be treated unfairly, because this world is broken and is far from what God intended it to be in the beginning. As Christ followers, how do we respond to these storms in our lives?

This sermon based on James 5:1-6 examines three warnings James gives to us about money and how we can break the hold it and our possessions tend to have in our lives.

Can we say that the North American church is bold and courageous? In Acts 4 we see that the early church boldly proclaimed the gospel. Around the world today, Christians are bold as they share their faith despite the possibility of persecution. What consequence are we afraid of in North America? Awkwardness. In this message, Ashwin reminds us the sources of our courage and encourages us to proclaim God's truth boldly

In Acts chapter 3, Peter, John and a lame man were each having an ordinary day. Yet, in the midst of the ordinary, Peter and John chose to represent Christ - and that made all the difference! A miracle occurred when the lame man was healed. Christians are Christ's representatives in the world, even on ordinary days. How are you representing Christ? In this sermon Kent challenges and equips the church to share the gospel.

Few of us would say ‘we are God’. However, in practice many of us live and make decisions like we are. In this study of James, the writer draws our attention to this tendency to be the center of the universe and illustrates the consequences of replacing God with ourselves.

In James chapter 4 the author spells out not only the causes but the cure for the conflicts in our world, workplace, communities, churches, friendships, marriages and families.
