As we continue in our series on the book of James, we will learn that, not only is it wrong to show favoritism toward certain people but, as members of Christ's Church, we are called to follow God's example and unconditionally love everyone - regardless of who they are, what they look like, or how much they own.

The Bible (John 16:33) tells us that "in this world we will have trouble." It's a fact -- you cannot avoid it. We will all walk down the dark path of sorrow, loss, and grief from time to time. The good news is that the verse goes on to say, "take heart, I have overcome the world". Join us this Sunday as Pastor Dave digs into God's Word to give us tools to overcome sorrow, loss, and grief.

The desert monks of the 3rd century were surprised by a certain apathy or melancholy that seemed to overcome some of their brothers. They called it Acedia. It wasn't depression but manifested itself with spiritual indifference, a soul stupor, dullness, and lethargy. They no longer marveled at the sacrifice of Jesus. Is this an issue in our 21st century church? This Sunday Pastor Mark continues our sermon and preaches on Overcoming Apathy.

Without a doubt, lust isn't simply a dangerous sin, it's hard to defeat. And, because of its destructive potential, the Bible warns us not to mess around with it.

How do we as Christ-followers survive the different problem areas of life that may challenge our faith? More importantly, where do we obtain the strength to stay on course in our walk with Jesus?
