James 4:7-10 | June 29, 2025 | Pastor Darryl Delhousaye

In this powerful exploration of humility and love, we're challenged to reconsider our understanding of what it means to truly love God. The central message revolves around Jesus' commandment in John 13:34-35 to 'love one another.' Fascinatingly, we learn that this love for others is actually how we demonstrate our love for God. The speaker draws our attention to James 2:8 and Galatians 5:14, emphasizing that fulfilling the 'royal law' is about loving our neighbors as ourselves. This perspective shift invites us to examine our own hearts and actions. Are we more concerned with how we're treated, or how we treat others? The message encourages us to adopt Christ's humility, seeing others as more important than ourselves. By doing so, we not only honor God but also resist the influence of negative spiritual forces in our lives. This teaching challenges us to live out our faith in practical, others-focused ways, reminding us that our treatment of people directly reflects our relationship with God.

James 3:13-18 | June 22, 2025 | Pastor Todd Smith

In our exploration of James 4:1-6, we uncover profound insights into the root causes of conflict and the path to spiritual harmony. James challenges us to examine our hearts, revealing how our unchecked desires and worldly attachments can lead to strife. The passage reminds us that our conflicts often stem from internal battles – our 'passions at war within us.' This introspective approach invites us to consider how our own selfishness and misplaced priorities contribute to discord in our relationships and communities. As we reflect on James' words, we're called to a deeper understanding of humility and its transformative power. The promise that 'God opposes the proud but gives grace to the humble' offers us a compelling reason to cultivate humility in our daily lives. This message resonates deeply, urging us to shift our focus from worldly pursuits to a God-centered perspective, potentially revolutionizing our approach to conflicts and relationships.

James 3:13-18 | June 8, 2025 | Pastor Todd Smith

In this powerful exploration of wisdom, we delve into James chapter 3, uncovering the profound difference between worldly and godly wisdom. The central message challenges us to examine the source and fruits of our wisdom. Are we operating from earthly, self-centered knowledge that leads to chaos, or are we tapping into the pure, peaceable wisdom from above? James teaches us that true wisdom isn't just about what we know, but how we live. It's seen in our actions and attitudes, particularly in meekness - strength under control. This message encourages us to seek wisdom that aligns with God's truth, producing a harvest of righteousness and peace in our lives. As we face complex decisions, we're reminded of the promise in James 1:5 that God generously gives wisdom to all who ask. Let's challenge ourselves to pursue heavenly wisdom that transforms not just our minds, but our hearts and actions.

James 3:1-12 | June 1, 2025 | Pastor Todd Smith

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine the immense power of our words. The book of James provides a sobering look at how our tongues can direct, destroy, or deceive. Just as a small bit controls a horse or a tiny rudder steers a massive ship, our words have the power to guide entire lives. We're reminded that 'death and life are in the power of the tongue' (Proverbs 18:21). The imagery of fire illustrates how a careless word can ignite devastating consequences in relationships, families, and communities. As followers of Christ, we're called to tame this 'two-ounce beast' and ensure our speech aligns with our faith. This message urges us to consider: Are our words bringing life or death? Are we speaking blessings or curses? By asking ourselves if our words are true, necessary, and helpful, we can harness the power of our tongues for good, setting a positive atmosphere in our homes, workplaces, and churches.

James 2:14-26 | May 25, 2025 | Pastor Todd Smith

In our exploration of James 2:14-26, we're challenged to examine the authenticity of our faith. The central message is clear: if we don't live it, we simply don't believe it. This passage confronts us with the uncomfortable truth that faith without works is dead. We're reminded of Abraham's willingness to sacrifice Isaac, not as a means of salvation, but as evidence of his already-existing faith. This story beautifully illustrates how true faith inevitably leads to obedience and action. As we reflect on our own lives, we must ask ourselves: Does our conduct match our creed? Are we merely paying lip service to our beliefs, or are we allowing our faith to transform us and compel us to serve others? Let's challenge ourselves to move beyond 'easy believism' and embrace a faith that is alive, active, and evident in how we treat those in need around us.

James 2:1-13 | May 18, 2025 | Pastor Todd Smith

In this powerful exploration of James 2:1-13, we're confronted with the challenging issue of partiality within the church. The passage reminds us that showing favoritism based on outward appearances or social status directly contradicts our faith in Jesus Christ. We're called to examine our hearts and consider: do we truly see the worth in every person, regardless of their circumstances? The stark contrast between how we might treat a wealthy visitor versus a poor one in our congregation serves as a sobering illustration. This message urges us to align our actions with the 'royal law' of loving our neighbors as ourselves, emphasizing that this commandment is intrinsically linked to our love for God. As we reflect on this, we're challenged to consider how our treatment of others will be judged before Christ, and whether we're living out the mercy and love that has been so freely given to us.

May 11, 2025 | Pastor Todd Smith

In this powerful message, we explore the profound metaphor of motherhood as a model for Christian ministry. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians 2:7-9, we see how the Apostle Paul likens his ministry to that of a nursing mother, emphasizing three key traits: gentleness, affection, and sacrifice. This comparison challenges us to reflect on how we care for others in our own spiritual walk. Are we approaching our relationships and ministry with the tenderness and nurturing spirit of a loving mother? The message reminds us that true Christian service isn't about projects or numbers, but about souls that matter deeply to God. It encourages us to cultivate a heart of compassion, to be 'affectionately desirous' of others, and to willingly sacrifice for the sake of the gospel. As we contemplate these truths, we're invited to examine our own attitudes in serving others and to strive for a ministry marked by the same selfless love that characterizes motherhood.

James 1:22-27 | May 4, 2025 | Pastor Josh Goertzen

In this powerful message, we're challenged to move beyond merely hearing God's Word to truly living it out. James 1:22-27 serves as our guide, reminding us that being 'doers of the word' is the essence of authentic faith. We're encouraged to look carefully and persevere in God's Word, not just glancing at it like a mirror we quickly forget. The key to this transformation? Growing in our love for Jesus by truly grasping His immense love for us. This isn't about mustering up willpower, but about letting Christ's love fuel our actions. We're called to watch our speech, care for the vulnerable, and remain unstained by the world. These practical steps reflect a faith that's alive and active, mirroring Jesus' own life as the Word made flesh. As we partake in communion, we're invited to rest in the gospel, remembering that our salvation comes not from our own doing, but from Christ's perfect fulfillment of God's Word on our behalf.

James 1:19-21 | April 27, 2025 | Pastor Todd Smith

The pastor emphasizes the importance of approaching Scripture with eagerness, holiness, and humility. He warns against anger, filthiness, and wickedness that can hinder our reception of God's message.
