10/3/19 Sermon - Shane Koehler - The way we acquire and use our money exposes a lot more about our hearts and our spiritual state than we think. James identifies 4 signs that money matters too much for you, and that it will testify against you in the day of judgment.

10/27/19 Sermon - Shane Koehler - The movement of our culture is more and more toward trying to plan & control our futures, attempting to plan our gains & protect ourselves from every risk & loss. While the Scriptures commend wise planning, James warns us against the boastful self-reliance that tries to control what only a sovereign God can control. James provides 5 antidotes to self-reliant living.

10/20/19 Sermon - Shane Koehler - Christians who have allowed pride and selfish desires to lead them into conflict with others must turn in genuine repentance. This kind of real change is demonstrated in humility before God & submission to His will that will be evident in our attitudes, speech, and actions.

10/13/19 Sermon - Shane Koehler - The selfish desires that lead to conflict with others come from our lack of trust in God. When we live as though our well-being is completely dependent on our own efforts, other people will inevitably become obstacles to our fulfillment.

10/6/19 Sermon - Shane Koehler - Conflict is a constant issue in our families, churches, relationships, and country. While our tendency is always to blame those on the other side, James tells us that conflict is actually the result of selfish desires within our own hearts.

9/29/19 Sermon - Shane Koehler - Growing in wisdom is not about accumulating vast amounts of knowledge, it is an increasing skill in living life at peace with others. The heart of godly wisdom is a meekness that calls us away from the worldly “wisdom” of self-interest.

9/22/19 Sermon - Shane Koehler - James warns believers that our speech reveals more about our spiritual condition than we may realize. Our words have the power to destroy our lives and the lives of those around us, and the ability to control what we say is difficult, even impossible, without God’s power at work in us.

9/15/19 Sermon - Joel Teague - Jesus' reference to Lot's wife is a reminder that despite our spiritual privileges, we are all prone to love the world and the things of the world, even though they are passing away. What practical lessons are we to learn from this story?

9/8/19 Sermon - Brian Irby - One of God's primary means of accomplishing His perfect work in us is through suffering. Our calling is to humbly submit to God's will rather than pridefully resisting it. Our submission in suffering proves the gospel and our faith.

9/4/19 Building Faith Podcast - Things have been quiet for the last couple months. Richard Goff & Shane Koehler give an update on what progress has been going on behind the scenes.
