Faith Village Church of Christ

James tells us to "come near to God", but how do we do that? And what does it mean to be "near" to God? "Near" is a very relative term. How do we make sure we're accomplishing this task? Jacob breaks down James 4: 7-10.

We all get to choose who are friends will be and who they won't be. James reminds us how important that decision is and how deep friendship really runs. Join us as Jacob discusses James 4: 1-6.

Life is full of transitions and change. In those moments, what are we supposed to do?

James says there are two kinds of wisdom at play in some of the greatest minds. Why are they so different?

A thermometer and thermostat both read temperature, but they serve different purposes. One reflects the temperature. The other changes it. Spiritually speaking, which one are you?

The final message of our series, "Why do bad things happen to good people?" A simple, yet encouraging explanation--we aren't home yet. We live in a broken world because of the fall of man in Genesis 3, but when we finally reach our home in Heaven, things are going to get much, much better.

James mentions the tongue in every chapter of his book. In some chapters, he mentions it several times. The tongue has tremendous power not only in this life, but in our life to come. Join us as Jacob continues our study of James with chapter 3.

The church is a powerful force created by God. When bad things happen to good people, God's people have a God-built, God-designed, God-installed alarm that resounds within them. The alarm says, "It's time to step up and be the church--to encourage and support each other." The church often shines the brightest in the midst of tragedy.

Have you ever mistaken someone for someone else? It's hard to believe, but Jesus was mistaken for a gardener on the great resurrection morning. Yet at the same time, people still mistake Jesus for the wrong things today. How does Jesus want us to view Him and see Him?
