As we conclude our series "Time" we finish walking through the book of James.  Drifting away from a plan laid out for the better of mankind makes us wanderers. To wander away is partnered with the involvement of unrighteousness in our lives. God calls the people known as the church to be used as a tool to help bring people back to God. A multitude of sin is covered when we reach out to people with truth and love for restoration. We read scriptures James 5:16, James 5:19-20, Proverbs 10:12, 1 Peter 4:8, and Matthew 15:18.

This is week 6 of our series Time.  So many of us have experienced a time when we tried to make a plan for it to just end up not working out. These self-made plans can create a mess in our lives and in the lives of others. The good news is there is a God, Creator of all things, that has plans that will always work out. We discover the importance of carrying out God's plans even over our own with our days we live here on earth.  His plans are embedded with love and purpose for us and the people around us. We read over scriptures Proverbs 19:31, James 4:13-17, and James 5:1-6.

This is week 5 of our series Time.  So many people have experienced being wrongly and rightly judged in their lives. With scripture using some type of the word "judge" over 700 times, we discuss the importance to take a deep look to understand this topic correctly. There is types of Judgement we should never do and is horrible. There are also good ways, honorable ways to examine..."judge" people for the better of their lives and the lives for others around us.  The best way while examining situations is to depend on God and His word and openly taking time to judge the condition of our hearts before we allow the actions that follow.  We read over scriptures in James 4:7-8, James 4:11-12, John 7:23-24, Matthew 7:1-5, 1 Corinthians 5:12-13, and Romans 14:7-13.

During Week 4 of our series Time we discuss how a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire. God's Word shows us this is relatable to our tongues... what we say matters. Will we use words to bring life or death, to praise or to curse, to love or hate, encourage or discourage? These are questions we should take time to reflect on and examine our hearts because people with genuine faith will desire to control what they say. We are given responsibilities as followers of Christ, what we choose to do matters. We read scriptures 3:1-17, Luke 12:41-48, and Matthew 6:1-4.

This is week 3 of our series Time. We take a look at the importance of sharing favor but not having favoritism. If we are not intentional with our time with people favoritism can creep into our lifestyles. In the book of James chapter 2 We also discuss how our faith should be partnered with good deeds.  If we have a genuine faith we will be impacted by the favor of God and desire to share favor with others.  We read over the scriptures in James 2:1-26 and John3:16-17.

This is week 2 of our series Time. Communication is so important yet in our days it can be filled with sharp tongues and anger, filled with hurting one another and wanting to be heard but not care about hearing others. There is a call on our lives to be slow to speak, quick to listen and slow to anger.  While we listen and learn in life having knowledge isn't enough, we should then act in response to the things we know. We get to do this while building upon the solid rock foundation of our God instead of the sand of our own control and foolishness. We read scriptures Matthew 7:24-29 and James 1:19-27.

This is the first week of our series Time. As  we discuss the book of James it is clear if we  examine our faith over time we can truly see if our faith is genuine or fake. Also through even troubles we can have joy knowing we get the opportunity for our endurance to grow. This is way easier to say then to actually live out but we will endure all situations if our faith is genuinely depending on God and His plan. In a world that throws so much at us, let's discover how to be in an undivided relationship with our God. We read over scriptures Isaiah 29:13 and James 1:2-18.

This is week 4 of the series Love Like Jesus. We passionately discuss how loving like Jesus is a set apart love, a love different than the love our world usually offers. If we learn to depend on God and continually discover His love for us, in response God's Spirit can guide us to truly love others. Remember people should know we are followers of Jesus by the way we love each other. We read scriptures 1 Corinthians 13:1-7, 1 Corinthians 13:13, and John 13:33-35.

This is week 3 of the series Love Like Jesus. In this service we removed our rows of chairs and set up tables in circles for our church family.  We learn about taking the Lord's supper over a meal and discuss the importance of being devoted to a community of people. Our communities should priotize the building of relationships. One important way to do this with each other is to break bread with one another, to take our time with each other and share meals. If we consider ourselves followers of Jesus Christ we must be devoted to God and His will, and devoted to our church family. We read scriptures Matthew 20:28,  Acts 2:42-47,  and 1 Corinthians 11:23-29.

This is week 2 of the series Love Like Jesus.  We see in scripture Serving should'nt just be something we do once in a while but a servant should be who we are, a lifestyle. God so loved us He took on flesh as Jesus and Jesus came as a servant. Jesus served us even up to the moments on the cross serving up His life. To discover more of the importance of loving like Jesus we look over many scriptures like Matthew 20:20-28, John 13:1-8, John 13:12-15, Luke 22:24-26,  Matthew 23:11-12, Romans 12:9-13, and James 2:15-17.
