The path away from joy began with shame, and the way back to joy is bringing Jesus into your shame and allowing Him to do the deep soul work that will set you free. Fear of being fully seen and fully known may cause you to want to hide, but Jesus is not ashamed of you–you are His joy, He loves you, and He gladly endured the cross to free you from your shame and bring you into the fullness of Joy He has for you.

James illustrates through the tales of three men how we can react in the face of our circumstances.  We can be a people who remain steadfast under trial if we cling to Jesus because He remains steadfast. When we avoid suffering, we avoid the opportunity to look like Jesus. Our lives are meant to be a constant submission into the hands of our Creator, like gold in the hands of the Refiner. 

Faith That Works // The Tale of the Three Men

 This first sermon of this new Faith That Works series specifically addresses the testing of your faith, the purpose of trials, and trusting with doubt. The book of James goes after a “Faith that doesn’t just work in us, but a faith that gets to work".

The person of Jesus changes everything. Jesus didn’t leave us alone, he left so that he could always be with us in the person of the Spirit. Access to heaven when we die is a promise. Access to relationship with Christ until we die is a lifeline.

All Things New // Emmaus

"And he who was seated on the throne said, 'Behold, I am making all things new.'" (Revelation 21:5 NIV) When we come to God, He doesn’t just redeem from this point forward, He redeems all. He redeems every aspect of our lives that we entrust to Him, and repurposes it for our good and His glory.
