This week James has words for both oppressors and the oppressed, and a common theme runs through what he says to both of them: the return of Christ. The knowledge that Christ is coming back in the future should shape our lives in the present. Today we talk about how that knowledge should shape us.

How should we think about the future? James contrasts an arrogant way with a humble way.

When a church community is broken by unmet desires, prayerlessness, favoritism, unfaithfulness, and slander, what is the key to getting things back on track? This week we look at a passage that helps us answer that question.

Rob Johnston continues our series on James by taking us through a passage on the differences between the world's wisdom and God's wisdom.

Guest speaker Pastor Mark Santostefano continues our series in James with an examination of the power of our words.

James says that faith without works is USELESS and that we are justified not by faith alone, but by what we DO. But how do we reconcile this with what Paul says - that we are saved by grace through faith, NOT by our works? Does the Bible contradict? Today we take a look at the faith/works dilemma.

Our series on James continues as we look at what he has to say about favoritism: the practice of privileging certain people on the basis of external qualities like wealth, status, race, age, or nationality. We identify four reasons why followers of Christ should reject favoritism. Mercy triumphs over judgment!

After spending our Vacation Bible Camp week teaching devotionals to the kids about Psalm 23, Keith Anderson summarizes what he's learned about this rich passage.

Our series in James continues as he reminds us of the importance of doing the Word of God, rather than just hearing/reading it. We also look at several of the things that we're called to do: being quick to listen, slow to speak, and slow to anger.

Events of the last week have reminded us that this world is filled with injustice, suffering, and evil. In light of this, can we really say "God is good"? James says yes, and we look at why.
