In living out our lives, we can follow worldly wisdom thats false or godly wisdom thats true. We must examine every thought and deed by the truth of the Word and no other standard.

Our words can be either a blessing or a curse to those around us. Believers must learn to control their tongues and use their words for good, not evil.

Faith and works aren't mutually exclusive. In fact, James tells us that faith apart from works is dead. Works don't save us, but good works should follow true faith.

We sin when we show partiality to some over others, whether they are rich or poor or different in any other way. Believers should extend mercy rather than harsh judgment to others.

True belief causes Christians to live out their faith according to the Word. We don't just passively hear the Word and receive it, rather action should always follow genuine heart change.

As believers, we will face trials and temptations in this world, and these hardships test our faith and dependence on God. But enduring adversity is ultimately for our joy.

The book of James is filled with practical wisdom for Christians, calling us to live out genuine faith through good works. But who was James?

Every year, we pray about three topics: racial reconciliation, the sanctity of human life and the nations. It's a catalyst to remind us about the importance of robust prayer, giving us a renewed resolve to carry us through the rest of the year.

During the season of Advent, we as a church focus on Jesus first coming and second coming. This year, we looked specifically at the attributes of God on display in the Christmas narrative.
