Functional Faith and our Thinking || Pastor Alan Brumback

Real faith in Jesus should change how we speak to and about other people. James teaches us that what we say is powerful, it points to the condition of our hearts and it pushes us to our need for Jesus to be healed.

Functional Faith and Your Tongue || Pastor Alan Brumback

Functional Faith and Your Testimony || Pastor Alan Brumback

How are we going to reach our community for Jesus if we mistreat people at church? 
 
James is teaching us that the proof that we have been transformed by the Gospel is seen in how we treat other people, especially people who are unlike us and people that we do not like.

Because He is the same yesterday, today, and forever more, we have no reason to doubt His divinity, trust in our fallen identity, or fear our eternity.

The message of Christmas is that Jesus became a human to save humanity by defeating the devil and delivering us from the fear of death.

Jesus is the Better Savior || Pastor Alan Brumback

Ultimately, Christmas means that God keeps His promises. 
 
In Hebrews 8, we see that there were old promises we could not keep, and there are new promises that we cannot beat found in Jesus.
