In this teaching on James 4:13–5:20, Pastor Mateo explains that acknowledging Jesus as Lord means surrendering our plans, time, and possessions to God and living for His glory and the good of others.

In his message on James 4:1–10, Pastor Mateo explains that the fights and brokenness in our lives flow from hearts aligned with the desires of the world, and he calls us to humble ourselves and return to God, who generously gives grace to those who seek Him wholeheartedly.

Pastor Mateo's message from James 3:13–18 contrasts earthly and heavenly wisdom, calling us to reject self-centered zeal and instead live with humble reverence for God, pursuing peace, mercy, and love as we trust that true justice and joy flow from His wisdom rather than our own.

Pastor Mateo's teaching from James 3:1–12 reminds us that because Jesus is Lord every word we speak matters, revealing what is in our hearts and calling us to use our tongues to honor God and reflect His image rather than cause harm or destruction. 

Pastor Mateo's message from James 2:1–13 teaches that true faith submits to Jesus as Lord by rejecting partiality, embracing God’s justice and mercy, and choosing to love others with the same compassion God has shown us, knowing that mercy rather than judgment leads us into freedom.

Pastor Nate’s sermon from James 1:19–25 reminds us that God has graciously given us His living Word, and we experience true freedom and blessing when we learn to hear it with attentive hearts, receive it with humility and repentance, and obey it as faithful doers rather than forgetful listeners.

From James 1–5, Pastor Mateo invites us to see that true faith submits to Jesus as Lord, trusting that God uses every trial to form us, deepen our endurance, and lead us to what matters most—Jesus Himself.

This week, Pastor Mateo unpacks what real, saving faith looks like through the book of James. He teaches that faith in Jesus is more than belief and is the conviction that He is Lord, expressed through love, mercy, obedience, and a life that is truly transformed.

From 1 Kings 23 and Luke 19, Pastor Mateo invites us to see how generations of broken and partially faithful kings reveal our deep need for true peace. Together, we discover that peace is not a fleeting feeling but a restored reality found when we trust Jesus, live in His way, and stay connected to our Savior rather than the storm.

Pastor Nate joins us this week to show how Solomon’s life warns that small compromises can lead to idolatry, and how guarding our hearts begins with continually seeking, abiding in, and depending on Jesus.
