James 4 calls our attention to the "why" behind the conflict and tension we face in community. In today's message, Justin shares some next steps in our pursuit of healthy conflict - and how it reflects God's heart for reconciliation. (James 4:1-3)

James knows that love is always connected to our words - the way we speak, the way we listen, and the way we speak from the overflowing of our hearts. Being faithful in following Jesus means a commitment to harness the power of our words to build people up in a tear-down world. (James 3:3-12)

In James 2, we're called to take account on the ways we undermine the mercy of God by judging others based on our own perceptions and bias. As we move deeper into the heart of God, we find mercy for ourselves - and mercy that triumphs over our judgment. (James 2:1-13)

In the words of E.O. Wilson, "We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom." James calls us to ask God for wisdom - and yet that wisdom often arrives in the form of those who've walked through the same struggles we now face. A healthy Church is a living library of lived, hard-earned wisdom that makes us more like Jesus. (James 1:2-4, 3:13-18)

The American definitions of freedom typically center on removing limitations. But in the kingdom of God - there are limitations that bring freedom and life. How might we find freedom and rest in an exhausted, weary world?

Rest is not the opposite of work - it's the foundation of it. In this message, Alicia Sims shares about the gift, calling, and challenge of rest, and how Jesus' invitation still calls to our exhausted, weary world.
