In part 6 of our series through James, Brian challenges us to actively love and show mercy to everyone, especially those who are overlooked or marginalised.

In part 5 of our James series, Re:Hope Southside’s lead pastor, Crooksy, unpacks the final part of James chapter 1. This week we paid attention to how looking intently into Bible can help us getting ready for what life has in store for us – including the trials and challenges of any kind that James speaks about – when we do what it says.

In part 5 of our James series, Laura looks at James’ mirror analogy and his comparison between Christians living in self-deception, and what he calls ‘pure and genuine religion.’ This passage prompts us to assess: am I hearing God and doing what He says in a way that expresses His heart in my context?

In part 4 of our James series, Brian teaches that we are commanded to be slow to speak and slow to become angry because human anger does not produce the righteousness God desires. Instead we are encouraged to respond carefully through forgiveness, repentance, reconciliation, and replacing anger with compassion so that it does not control our actions or harm others.

In part 3 of our James series, Brian teaches that troubles of every kind are not signs God is against us but opportunities to grow stronger, mature, and deepen our trust in His goodness; and that temptation itself is not sin, and as God’s prized possessions we can endure trials with joy, knowing He is with us.

In part 2 of our series through James, Brian teaches on James 1:2-11, reminding us that we will still face troubles as Christians but that God is with us and we can look at these trials as opportunities for joy.

Brian starts our new series through James with an introduction to the book by looking at one of the major messages: Faith isn’t just some feeling or thought on the inside. Join us over the next few weeks as we learn more from the book of James.

Faith is the blood of spiritual life. In this Vision Sunday message titled GET THE BLOOD PUMPING, Re:Hope Southside’s Lead Pastor, Crooksy, draws from Romans 7 and Mark 4 and 6 calling the church to higher faith.

For Vision Sunday, Laura looks at King Solomon's example & talks about making space for God to come & dwell. Making space in our own lives first, by loving him with whole hearts and willing minds, and then making space for what He wants to do in our church; through humility, courage, and 'doing the work' He has given us. In this season of stretching, we will focus on strengthening, so that good fruit can continue to grow.

Brian shares about his personal journey about reading the Bible each year and encourages the church to join a Bible Read Through group.
