Christians must always understand the foolishness of boasting and making plans without acknowledging God's sovereignty and the brevity of life. 

Pastor Duane Modlin

Inner conflict and misdirected desires, stemming from a lack of submission to God and a pursuit of worldly pleasures, lead to strife and conflict within the Christian community, and James calls for humility, repentance, and submission to God as the solution.  

James 4:1-12 

Pastor Duane Modlin

By their good conduct, Christians should demonstrate heavenly wisdom rather than worldly wisdom. Specifically, they will exhibit purity and peacefulness rather than jealousy and strife. 

The tongue is the best measure of Christian maturity because it is so powerful and naturally untamable and reveals the condition of one’s heart.

James 3:1-12

Pastor Duane Modlin

A truth that James emphasizes in this text, and that the Word of God teaches throughout, is that what we do reveals who we are.

James 2:14-26

Pastor Duane Modlin

Christians must not discriminate either in favor of or against anyone based on their social status because that behavior is inconsistent with God’s law of love. Instead, they must live in ways that anticipate the Judgement Day, demonstrating God’s law of love to all and His grace to believers.  

James 2:1-13

Pastor Duane Modlin

Keith Rutsey preaching on Romans 8:1-4

If we are going to be the most God-glorifying, Christ-exalting, gospel-believing, proclaiming, and advancing version of Christ Community Church, then seven things will mark our church. These markers will shape everything we do here at C3!

There are true believers who are fooling themselves concerning their Christian Walk. They think they are spiritual when they are not. It is a mark of maturity when a person faces themselves honestly, knows who they truly are, and admits what they need. It is the immature person who pretends, "I am rich, I have prospered, and I need nothing" (Rev. 3:17).

God would never tempt believers to sin, because God never deviates from His purpose of creating believers with character of the highest quality.
