Where do quarreling and infighting come from? Why do so many people feed off of anger and discord? James tells us that this comes from our devotion to our passions. When we are selfish and angry, no good fruit is produced. The Church, of all places, should be different, yet we hear of discord in churches frequently. This week, Fr. Ben Williams compares the selfish and prideful heart to a stagnant pool of water. Unless we receive God’s grace that flows down like a clear mountain waterfall, we will continue to sow seeds of discord, not only throughout the world, but throughout the Church as well. Join us for the third of four sermons on the Book of St. James.

What do we say about God when we treat others based on appearances? How does our partiality obscure God’s glory? This week, we explore these questions as we continue our 4-part series on the Book of James. Join Fr. Ben Williams and Mission Saint James for this important study on how we are to live our lives while “holding on to the faith of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Lord of Glory.”

What does Christian maturity look like? Why is it that we often feel like we should be further along our journey with Jesus than we are? This week, Fr. Ben Williams begins a four part series on the Book of James, which is greatly concerned with Christian maturity. St. James reminds Christians who we are and where we have come from. Just as we resemble our earthly fathers, so our actions should reflect the heart of our heavenly Father. Wherever you are on your journey with Jesus, St. James tells us to persevere.

We all want to live rich lives. We long to reach the end of our days satisfies with a life worth living. Jesus came to offer us something so much more. In our final sermon on John 6, Fr. Ben Williams encourages us to not only live a life worth living, but also a life worth dying for.

Have you ever been so busy that you didn’t have time for a lunch break? Our lives can be so full of concern for our temporal life that we can neglect the eternal life God offers us through his Son, Jesus. This week, Fr. Ben Williams continues our series in John 6 where Jesus declares that he is the Bread of Life. Unless we eat his flesh and drink his blood, he says, we have no life in us.

King Solomon said that “the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing” (Ecc. 1:8). Why is it that our contentment in our temporal lives are so difficult to attain? This week, Fr. Ben Williams continues our series in John 6 where Jesus tells us that the Father draws human beings to his Son. The satisfaction we seek in this life is truly met in “the bread that comes down from heaven,” who is God’s Son, Jesus Christ. Join us for this message, Drawn to the Bread of Life.

How do we maintain our wonder and awe for the Living God? How do we keep our eyes on Jesus when our earthly lives pull our gaze toward temporal reality? This week, Fr. Ben Williams continues a series in John 6 where Jesus states, “I am the bread of life.” The challenge of the Christian life is to prioritize the eternal life we have in Jesus over our everyday existence with its cares and concerns.
